    Trend Report: 'Glass Skin' vs 'Cloud Skin'

    Texture is the new color. This season isn't about whether you wear pink or peach blush; it's about the finish of your base.

    Glass Skin

    Originating in K-Beauty, Glass Skin is all about high-shine hydration. It looks almost wet. It requires layers of hydrating toners and essences. It screams "I drink 3 liters of water a day."

    Cloud Skin

    The challenger, Cloud Skin, is a soft-focus matte. It's not the flat matte of 2016; it's a dimensional, velvet finish that looks like a Renaissance painting. It blurs imperfections rather than highlighting them.
