With the new year comes a new beauty trend, and one that is taking our social media platforms by storm is pearl skin. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably familiar with glass skin. Think of Pearl Her Skin as her new and improved little sister, with a moisturized appearance. The best part is that you can achieve this look based on your preferences and can do it with makeup, skin care, or a combination of both.
The goal of pearl skin is to give your face a beautiful, iridescent sheen without looking dewy. Glass skins, on the other hand, mainly focus on high-gloss, reflective, and wet-look finishes. So if you want to get your glow back and embrace 2024’s biggest beauty trends, read GRAZIA’s ultimate guide to pearly skin.

As demonstrated in the Tiktok above, Sara Orrego uses a dewy base to achieve the pearly skin look. Then add cream concealer, bronzer, and blush to brighten up the trend. To further accentuate her glowing look, she covers her cheekbones and eyelids with highlight. The key to mastering this look is to keep your makeup simple and focus on shine.

The first step to achieving a bright look is to have a sparkling base. You can easily achieve this by using Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow before applying your foundation. Formulated with hydrating and light-diffusing ingredients, it works to instantly enhance radiance while enhancing shine over time.
The next step is to layer a light foundation over the primer. And what better option than a foundation that literally reflects light to its name? that’s right.
You may not realize it, but a surefire way to achieve the pearly skin look is to choose makeup products that create a dewy finish. So look no further than Sephora’s Best Skin Ever Glow Concealer. This helps hide imperfections while giving a bright finish.
You can’t go wrong with Fenty Beauty makeup. Especially when it comes to the cult-favorite Matte Contour Skinstick. Since it’s cream-based, it enhances your dewy look while giving you chiseled cheekbones that Rihanna herself would be proud of.
There’s a reason Sculpted By Aimee is a bestseller on the site. This crème he blush is criminally underrated and will give you gorgeous, glowing, rosy cheeks in just one swipe, taking your pearly skin look to the next level.
Perhaps the most important step for the pearly skin look is highlighting. Blend the highlighter onto your eyelids, cheekbones, and inner corners of your eyes to brighten and brighten your skin like a goddess.
Mascara is optional, so you can skip this step if you want a more natural pearl skin look. If you’re going to use mascara, Too Faced Better Than Love Mascara is perfect for wispy, dreamy lashes.
Last but not least, of course, is to match glowing skin with glowing lips. One swipe of Makeup by Mario Plumping Lip Serum and you’re ready to go.
