9 Beauty Products To Get The Glazed Skin Look
Glazing Milk
£32 | Rhode
Let’s start at the source. It should come as no surprise to hear Rhode’s Glazing Milk is a global bestseller – experts love its glossy, glassy finish. Full of ceramides, it’s an essence that you apply between your cleanser and serum but it’s also very versatile – you can also mix it with foundation or concealer for added sheen. Whatever you choose, you’ll love the near-laminated effect it lends your skin.

Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick
£35 | Charlotte Tilbury
A SheerLuxe Beauty Icon, this foundation stick is a favourite among our team. Though it offers decent coverage, it does so much more, providing a glossy effect that’s almost wet to look at, but without any of the tell-tale stickiness. We love that it unifies the skin too, keeping it smooth and even. As for the stick format, it’s easy to apply and can be blended out with either fingers or a brush.

Face Bond Luminizer
£38 | Urban Decay
Designed to be worn under your normal foundation or concealer, this clever luminiser extends the life of your make-up, while adding a soft, pearly glow. There are seven different tones to choose from, but we love ‘Mirror Ball’ for a real 3D effect. The bronze tones, however, are well worth checking out ahead of summer. Best applied with a brush, the handy dropper means you can’t go overboard – plus, it’s also waterproof, so it doesn’t budge once it’s on the skin.

Backstage Glow Face Palette
£43 | Dior
For those who like a little shimmer to accompany their glazed look, you can’t beat Dior’s Backstage palettes. Full of flattering shades, they include soft peach, pink and cream tones that are both sheer and buildable. The subtle gold flecks of powder give skin that ‘glazed doughnut’ effect, without going OTT. Use a big fluffy brush, swirling it across all the shades before buffing it into your skin for real impact, or apply the tones individually to emphasise your bone structure.

Lumi Le Glass Stick
£11.99 | L'Oréal Paris
These glass highlighting sticks glide on effortlessly, whether scribbled across the high points of your face or swept onto the body. The texture is reminiscent of Vaseline, but far slicker, delivering a sheer, buildable glow wherever you apply it. Use fingers or a brush for a quick fix, but for maximum impact and a wet-look finish, we recommend a damp sponge to really amp up the pigment.

Microbial Gel Clear
£35 | Isamaya
This clear serum-gloss delivers the ultimate glazed finish – dab it on eyes, cheekbones, collarbones or anywhere you want that high-shine glow. Even once it sets, the sheen sticks around. It layers beautifully with other products to boost pigment and leave skin looking dewy and plump. Bonus points for the formula: hyaluronic acid floods the skin with moisture, while prebiotics help calm and protect.

Super Skin Nova
£39 | Vieve
Richer than Vieve’s original Skin Nova Primer, this buttery formula is full of hydration heroes like hyaluronic acid, collagen and peptides. It wears beautifully under foundation, helping it last longer, but also looks incredible on its own thanks to its soft-focus glow. Never too much, it nails the glazed trend without veering into theatrical. Brightening, smoothing and skin-unifying, it might just be one of the brand’s best launches yet.

Glow Fusion Highlighting Drops
£11.49 | KIKO Milano
Make-up artists swear by these drops. Available in multiple shades, the lightweight liquid formula is ultra-buildable and melts seamlessly into skin the longer it wears. The result? A fresh, dewy glow that looks natural and quenched. Use them neat or mix into your base – either way, they add a subtle dimension that works beautifully on cheekbones, brow bones and down the bridge of the nose.

Great Skin Instant Glow Serum
£34 | Merit
Shake this formula up to see the bronzy texture combine with the silky serum. As you apply it, it feels almost matte, absorbing fast but with a nourishing feel that leaves skin feeling soft and supple, thanks to four types of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. The glow is fresh and healthy without being sticky or overly wet, making it ideal if you want a more toned-down take on the glazed look.
