Discover Skincare Essentials for a Radiant, Dewy Complexion
The trend for achieving “glazed skin,” characterized by very hydrated, smooth, shiny, and glassy-looking skin, has been prominent since 2022. Initially achieved with products like facial oils, clear lip glosses, and Vaseline, there are now dedicated products designed to achieve this look. Hailey Bieber’s Rhode brand, particularly the Glazing Milk, became popular when she used it in a TikTok video to give foundation a lighter, glassy finish. While Glazing Milk is versatile, it can be pricey compared to alternatives like tinted moisturizers NYX Buttermilk Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint or MAC Strobe Dewy Skin Tint. Other products mentioned include Charlotte Tilbury’s Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick for a glossy finish, and Urban Decay’s Face Bond Luminizer, which works well for oily skin by giving a pearlescent glow without being greasy. In general, products with high glycerin or diglycerol content tend to provide a glazy finish.
