Korean beauty trends really tend to peak the world's interest. They’re often characterized by a harmonious blend of meticulous skin care rituals, innovative formulations, and a focus on embracing one's natural beauty with less is more makeup. Perhaps the trend that embodies this best is “glass skin” – a look that we absolutely love at Lancôme. Let us break it down for you by explaining what makes it so captivating and how to achieve it with skincare and makeup.

WHAT IS GLASS SKIN?

"Glass skin" is a flawless complexion that appears translucent, luminous, and seemingly untouched by imperfections. It puts an emphasis on flawless, porcelain-like skin that is dewy and soft. Soft, pastel-colored makeup further enhances this delicate look, with an emphasis on gradient lips, youthful blush, and subtle eye makeup. It really comes down to an absolutely flawless canvas, that reflects light, and rosy soft makeup to enhance features in an unbelievably natural way.
