Glow is here to stay. In Korean beauty philosophy, glass skin became iconic: transparent, healthy-looking, almost reflecting the light. Yet now a new trend has arrived: cloud skin. Soft-focus, velvety, luxurious – like a dreamy filter embracing the face.

Glass Skin

The crystal glow
Skin that looks almost “wet,” with light bouncing off every curve of the face.

How to achieve it:

  • Layered hydration (essences, serums, hyaluronic acid).
  • Lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer.
  • Liquid highlighter and a touch of facial oil.

Best for: normal to dry complexions, or anyone who loves that “fresh-out-of-the-shower” look.

 

Cloud Skin

The soft filter
Not matte, not shiny. Something in-between – a velvety veil that smooths and refines.

How to achieve it:

  • Primer that blurs and evens skin texture.
  • Satin or soft-matte foundation.
  • Ultra-fine powder applied lightly, diffusing light without heaviness.
  • Subtle highlighter for a gentle glow.

Best for: oily or combination skin types, or those seeking a polished, refined look without going overboard.

 

Which trend suits you?

  • Choose Glass skin if you love a dewy, radiant finish.
  • Opt for Cloud skin if you prefer a velvety texture that smooths imperfections.
