HOW TO ACHIEVE GLASS SKIN FOR BEGGINERS
Hi~! I know my blog has been a bit dusty recently, sorry for that. I restored my energy now so lesssgooo 💖 I asked you on instagram if you'd like to see my makeup collection and the answers gave me many new ideas for content here! Don"t worry, I'll show my make and skincare collection too but I wanna start with this tutorial cause for a loooong time I've been getting questions on how is my skin so perfect (spoiler, it's not) when irl it's my secret makeup hacks! You've probably noticed k-beauty influence in my makeup, it actually started with me dating a Korean boy as a teen and he gave me some products that started my interest in makeup overall and till this day the 2015s Kbeauty makeup is the style I feel most skillfull in. Throughout the years I've been perfecting my own techniques that work for me and I wanna share it with you now! This is a makeup tutorial so it will work even if your skin is not dewy~
#1 Use concealer first
Since we are going for glossy, dewy and moist skin look, we are gonna do things a little differently! Remember, this is a makeup tutorial so we are gonna fake the perfect skin on the outside, but before we do that we need to correct everything under it. Use a thick, high coverage concealer and apply it in dots to areas you want to even out. In my case, those are:
- Eye bags
- Nosolabial folds (smile lines)
- Under lower lip line
- Area between eyes (if you wear glasses and have a mark after wearing them or if you have close set eyes)
Tap it in. Remember that concealer should be 1/2 shades lighter than your foundation. Here are the concealers I reccomend:
 |
| Fenty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer |
 |
| LUNA Long Lasting tip concealer |
Well this one is kinda obvious but don't use any foundations that can be cakey or drying! Look for foundations/bb creams/skin tins that seem plasticky and leave a silicony residue. Umm...ok that doesn't sound the most pleasant but I bet yall know what I mean. It must be shiny. After the concealer dries apply the foundation on your entire face, the right amount to me is 4 finger tips, each on forehead, cheeks and chin and PAT DONT SPREAD or you'll mix it with the concealer, but we dont wanna mix it, we wanna put it on top. Using fingers or cushion pads will give you the best results. Here are some I reccomend:
 |
| Amuse skin tune vegan cushion |
 |
| Under 20 antibacterial mattifying foundation/bb cream |
 |
| Dishali aloe foundation |
I. Swear. On. Pierogi. Dishali is the best foundation Ive used in my life, I found it for 5 bucks in a vietnamese market and Ill prob get skin cancer from it someday but its the PERFECT foundation. I cant reccomend it cause the ingridients r probably radioactive or smth but it has everything u want. Its HUGE, waterproof, medium+ coverage but super wet and glossy and like siliconey. I bet u saw the chinese tiktoks where girls use mysterious extra pale foundation and then spray it and touch their phone on it and it doesn't transfer, Yeah, This is literally it. Even if I grow a 3rd arm from using it Im not gonna stop. I'd say I reccomend my ass off but take ur own responsibility.
#3 Sunscreen
Ok, it may sound weird to put sunscreen on top of makeup but shhhh just trust me. It will be ok (as long as u dont mix water based step #2 with silicone sunscreen and opposite, then it will peel). Not only is a good sunscreen keeping u young 4eva but U CAN USE IT AS MAKEUP (whatttt) yeah. The sunscreen or rather sunblock, as we r not talking about the greasy ones should be light weight and transparent in a milk consistency. Honestly just look for Korean brands, they make the best ones that can be used with makeup. The amount of how much should you use is 2 fingers lenghts, apply it on skin and pat in with fingers. You will notice its giving you this beautiful watery shine!

| Tonymoly uv master |
Although I have a loooot of sun protection products (most important step in avoiding aging) this Tonymoly one is the best one to use with makeup. You should reapply your sunscreen every few hours, I do 5 and use it everyday, I promise your skin will be thankful!
#4 Face gloss/highlighter
The final step is to enchance targeted areas. The best product for the glossy wet look is a face gloss but since I know it's hard to get, a veryyy fine white cool highlighter or pearl eyeshadow will do too. To look shiny, glowy, like you have a moistruizer on a perfect skin, apply the product on:
- Cheekbones duh
- Nose tip-blank-nosebridge up to your brows!
- Brow arch
- Inner eye corners
- Under lower lip
- Triangle area of the inner sides of your cheeks, slightly above the nostrils so when you smile you look glowing!
- Lower forehead between brows

#5 NO Powder
Powder is forbidden on this server, sorry. The only acceptable place is the eyebags if you reaaaally need it but Im a powder hater. I really dont reccomend using any in this makeup because together with sunscreen it will look cakey.
Thanks for reading! Share your results with me on insta 💖
