Get the Glow: Skincare & Highlighters
Radiant makeup begins with healthy, hydrated skin. I am sharing the exact skincare prep, primers, and highlighters I use to achieve that viral Korean glass-skin glow on myself and my clients.
I'm currently obsessed with this viral Korean serum spray. Infused with white truffle extract and niacinamide, it gives the most amazing glass skin finish, leaving your skin looking incredibly dewy and hydrated.

About Get the Glow: Skincare & Highlighters
Achieving a truly dewy look isn't about loading on heavy highlighter; it is about the layering order. I often start with a niacinamide-rich serum spray to prep the skin, letting it sink in completely before applying any base products. This creates a natural, lit-from-within finish that lasts through long events, rather than just sitting on top of your makeup.
People often ask me how to get that flawless, dewy finish without looking oily. The secret to 'glass skin' isn't just a high-end highlighter; it is all about your skin hydration levels before the makeup even touches your face.
In my years of practice, I have realized that skipping the prep is the number one cause of foundation cracking or fading. Whether you are prepping for a bridal look or just want that everyday glow, you need to treat your skin with the right ingredients. I am obsessed with using serums infused with niacinamide and truffle extracts—they act as a moisture magnet, plumping the skin so your base sits like silk.
How I build the glow
- Prep: Always start with a serum spray or a hydrating primer. If your skin is dry, the foundation will pull moisture from it, leading to patchiness.
- Placement: Don't just slap highlighter everywhere. Apply it only to the high points of your face—the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and the cupid's bow—where the light naturally hits.
- Setting: Use a fine setting spray to lock the moisture in, not a heavy powder that can dull the shine.
What works in Mumbai weather
We all know the humidity here is a battle. A common mistake is using heavy oils that melt away by the afternoon. I prefer water-based hydrating sprays that offer that 'glass' effect without the greasiness.
