Our amazing affiliate makeup artists have hopped on the trend with incredible results from their glass skin makeup ideas. In @hollymurraymakeup’s glass skin makeup tutorial, you can see every step that she carries out in order to achieve glass skin based on the models in Mason Margiela’s show.
The trend originates from Korean glass skin which is a more subtle look that focuses on creating a soft dewy glow to the skin. The glass effect comes from the preparation of the skin by exfoliating and hydrating to give it a natural healthy glow. Korean glass skin products are mostly skincare products. The key starting point is exfoliating your skin to get it back to healthy new skin cells. Once you have done this, the golden rule is to hydrate your skin with multiple products, making sure that the skincare you use matches your skin type. Korean beauty practices have made it into the mainstream in other countries, as beauty fans aim to find the best products to keep their skin healthy and youthful.
Find out how to get glass skin with colored contact lenses and SFX makeup available from our website to help you try out and achieve porcelain doll glass skin.
The first theory that MUAs came up with before Pat McGrath revealed the products she used is that the models were wearing a type of water or gel based mask as they were seen peeling off their full face of makeup after the show. Popular social media makeup artist and Coloured Contacts affiliate, @hollymurraymakeup has taken a similar approach with her glass skin makeup. As you can see in her makeup removal video, she loosens her whole face of makeup before peeling off her glass skin.

@rimgaile.ma has taken a more subtle approach to glass skin makeup and has added different graphic makeup features to give a porcelain doll effect.
For her makeup design, she has chosen a graphic eyeliner paired with a sleek penciled eyebrow. Her dewy lip is created by blending darker red tones with lighter red tones to bring focus to the center of the lips. This is finished with gloss to pair with the glass skin. Her eyes feature a soft blend of orange and yellow in a color palette that perfectly pairs with the deep red lips, black graphic details, and gold cracks. To give this glass skin makeup the ultimate porcelain doll aesthetic, @rigmaile.ma has completed the look with a cracked porcelain effect in gold to pair with her gold outfit and earrings. The attention to detail in this makeup look ties together all the elements for an editorial-worthy look.
