Some makeup trends seek to drastically change our face. Take the contouring boom a few years ago as an example. Others look for shine at all costs, like the dolphin skin, with a moist-looking skin.
Among this tidal wave of techniques and compositions, social networks have exalted what will definitely be fashion makeup in 2023: cloud skin. Although its name sounds fanciful, the truth is that it is a very natural and balanced look.
This technique arose a few years ago from the hand of MAC Cosmetics makeup artist Dominic Skinner, but users have rescued it by exalting it on TikTok. The cloud skin trend proposes makeup inspired by the effect of the sun sneaking through the clouds. The result? The perfect balance between matte finish and shiny skin.
Pursue a natural makeup, where the skin looks soft, healthy, polished and juicy in its proper measure. In other words, the key is to control the shine, mattify but also illuminate, without exaggerating. With the cloud skin you have a beautiful, favored and very natural complexion.
This trend is perfect for all skin types. Although it is especially positive for those who have mixed or oily skin, because they can finally adapt to the long-awaited ‘glow’ without their luminosity getting out of control due to excess sebum. Shine yes, greasy effect no. It is also rejuvenating, as it is not overloaded or heavy, genuinely concealing wrinkles and expression lines.
The key to achieving this cloud skin or cloud skin is to properly treat and hydrate the skin before applying makeup. As well as alternating products with a matte finish with other more luminous ones, blending them together and blending them well with the complexion.
