Get ready to embrace the glow with the latest makeup trend for pearl skin. Taking over the “clean girl” aesthetic, it’s all about focusing on creating a luminous complexion, using shimmery shades and reflecting formulas.
Sported by celebs on the red carpet and models walking the runway, it’s the perfect hydrated look for winter that is so easy to achieve.
Follow these four steps for an illuminating look.
Start with your base
To achieve a sheen complexion, start by using brightening cream on your skin to lock in hydration and help your complexion naturally glow.
Then choose a buildable tint with light-reflecting particles which you can apply a light layer to the skin without completely covering your base.
For a seamless application, you can always apply a primer underneath the glowy layer to help it adhere to the skin too.

Swipe a highlighter
To really nail the makeup trend, you’ll need to get your hands on a highlighter in a liquid or cream formula.
Go in and apply to the high points of the face to add a natural-looking shine, whilst drawing attention to your features.

Add a pop of blush
The main focus of the pearl makeup trend is the cheeks!
To draw attention, use a liquid blush and dab across your cheekbones and tip of your nose. Then lock everything in place with a translucent finishing powder.
Be sure to pick a warm colour that complements your complexion.
