How To Get Glass Skin
Amelia Singson is a Sydney-based Makeup Artist with over a decade in the industry. She loves glowing skin, bushy brows and is partial to blush on the nose. Her relationship with skincare is deep and real, and she can talk about products until your ears fall off.
Sydney makeup artist Amelia Singson says you can achieve translucent, dewy glass skin by layering multiple thin hydrating products. The piece outlines Singson’s routine, showing how to use mists, essences, lightweight serums and a Gua Sha or massage tool, and explains why you should extend products down the neck and decolletage for a polished glow.
The Essential Points to Remember
- Get a reflective, dewy finish by layering mist, essence, lightweight serum and moisturiser
- Use a Gua Sha or face massage tool to boost product absorption and enhance radiance
- Take every product down the neck and decolletage so the glow looks even and natural
- Prioritise barrier-loving hydrating ingredients, especially if your skin is dry or dehydrated
Layering hydrators creates lasting dew without heavy makeup, so skin looks glassy rather than masked. This routine works well as a pre-makeup step for events or as an everyday approach for dry and dehydrated skin types, while still accepting that blemishes and pores are normal.
There is something incredibly chic about the translucent glow of the glass skin trend.
Clear, hydrated, dewy skin is Amelia Singson’s specialty, and she’s here to show us how to achieve it in this glass skin skincare routine.
This is the perfect routine for anyone getting ready for an event, or even for someone wanting to let their skin shine through their everyday makeup look.
Amelia’s dewy skin tips:
- For the glass skin look, your best bet is applying lots of thin layers of hydration. This can be achieved by adding bonus steps such as mists, essences and hydrating serums.
- Remember to take your skincare down your neck and onto your decolletage.

What is glass skin?
Glass skin is a K-Beauty trend, which comes from layering a number of ultra-hydrating products to create a smooth, glass-like finish on the skin. You can achieve this glass-like texture by adding multiple extra steps to your skincare routine.
While blemish and pore-free skin is not a reality for everyone (let's be honest, nor should it be), we love the emphasis this trend puts on skincare and nourishing, barrier loving ingredients. The reflective, ethereal glow this skincare routine creates boosts any makeup routine you put together next, and is perfect for dry, dehydrated skin types.
