Revolution - *Glass Collection* - Prebase Glass Skin Primer

Product Information

It would be positively criminal to not mention this product from Rose Marie Swift’s brand. The trailblazing make-up artist’s beauty line houses a slew of products with ingredients as clean as can be. The living luminizer has been perking up cheekbones since its debut in 2009. It’s an innovative concoction of coconut oil and beeswax, which means smooth and silky skin rather than patchy and potentially flaky. It’s a really sensational product; subtle enough to make your skin look super hydrated but buildable enough to give you the most natural radiance. So, you either need to use less foundation, or apply it with a blending sponge for a natural finish. While the tenants of glass skin apply mostly to, well, skin, makeup can play a key role in getting that glossy vibe, too. In addition to choosing a luminous, hydrating foundation (try the celeb-approved Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation), “a primer can go a long way” in bolstering your glass skin efforts, notes Kinser. Notably, primers can create a luminous, dewy base for foundation to glide onto the skin in an ultra-smooth manner; moreover, primers help maintain a freshly applied makeup look throughout the day. In many cases, primers — particularly luminous primers like Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer— can also add a lit-from-within radiance that mirrors that of glass skin.

Additionally, Smith touts vitamin C as an essential piece of the glass skin puzzle. Vitamin C, as mentioned previously, is prized for fading dark spots and improving overall skin brightness. The ingredient, says Smith, “help(s) combat dryness and discoloration,” too. A great product for that seamless, foiled, wet-looking shine that celebrities’ skin have, this is a cult-favourite highlighter for a reason. It blends into the skin beautifully, and doesn’t have glitter chunks. The sheen it gives is so realistic and uniform that it looks like your own skin, not a highlighter. Plus, this comes in several shades, so it looks very natural on the skin. And, while you might think you need to layer on lots of highlighting products, the secret to glass skin is how you apply your illuminator, rather than the amount you use.As a final touch, spritz skin with a hydration mist or setting spray. Known to prevent dryness and to brighten and revitalize dull and tired skin, hydration mists and setting sprays typically contain moisture-binding ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) to keep skin luminescent and dewy. This final step can minimize flaky makeup. It doesn’t hurt to keep one in your bag for a midday thirst quench for skin. SIORIS’s Time is Running Out Mist comes in a mini size. To be able to choose the right primer, you need to understand your skin type. Primers are designed for different skin types – normal skin, textured skin, oily skin, dry skin, combination skin and more. When you understand your skin type, choosing the right primer becomes easy.”

Sit yourself underneath a good light and identify which parts of your face the light is hitting," says Wolff. "Do it with your moisturiser newly on because your skin will be a little more wet and reflective, making it easier to work out." Where to apply your highlighterThe right primer really helps create a dewy and glowing base for your makeup, but without being shimmery enough to emphasise the texture.

What’s unique about this one from Algenist is that it’s half glycolic acid and half nourishing oils. When shaken it creates a cloudy emulsion that should be left on clean skin for ten minutes; applied with a cotton round and washed off. The hybrid approach to the formula not only gives you a super clean surface, but the added oils nourish and moisturise which definitely comes in handy as you really want to keep the skin sufficiently hydrated to achieve that glossy finish.While the first two factors are irreversible to some degree once they’ve happened, the last factor — clogged pores — can be improved significantly with the help of oil-controlling skincare products. By dissolving excess oil — or oil that can make pores appear larger than they really are — sebum-regulating skincare products can impart the appearance of smaller-looking pores, and get you one step closer to the poreless appearance for which glass skin is revered.
