Pearl Skin Is In! Expert Reveals How to Create The Trending Look!
Share
Pearl skin is trending! Pearl skin is all about achieving a gorgeous pearlescent, illuminated finish to your skin, without it looking wet. Not to be confused with glass skin which focuses on a high-shine, reflective, wet-look finish, think of pearl skin more like glass skin’s daintier little sister, adding a dimension to your skin.
Rachael Divers, Resident Make-Up Artist, Face The Future, says:
To achieve pearl skin with skincare
“Look to products like Hello Sunday’s The Illuminating One SPF 50 Glow Makeup Primer. Not only does this provide your skin with essential UV protection to help prevent premature skin ageing and DNA damage, but it also contains vitamin C and hyaluronic acid that adds an infusion of hydration to your skin and boosts your natural glow. To secure the pearl skin effect, The Illuminating One also contains micro mica particles that add that ethereal, pearlescent glow to your skin that holds its own perfectly worn solo or as a makeup base.”
To achieve pearl skin with makeup
“From mica-infused liquid highlighters, like Illamasqua’s Beyond Liquid Highlighter to Sigma Beauty’s buttery soft powder Highlighter, the best way to achieve pearl skin with makeup is by using products designed specifically to add radiance and a prismatic glow to your skin. When choosing your shades, go for celestial pinks with off-white tones that recreate that angelic pearl finish. Place your products where you’d place your highlighter – on the high points of your face, like your cheekbones and your brow bone. You can also sparingly place your chosen products onto the bridge of your nose, cupid’s bow, and centre of your forehead for an all-over pretty pearly lustre.”
