Butter skin is in, glass skin is out

Move over, glass skin. These days, it’s all about “butter skin.” Imagine room-temperature butter that has been left out on the countertop for a couple of hours—silken, not slick; luminous, not oily.

Inspired by that texture, this make-up trend is all about smoothing and illuminating your skin while letting your natural features shine through. Essentially, butter skin is clean girl makeup. At any rate, it is a universally flattering trend that suits all skin tones and most skin types.



A look with these specific features might seem intimidating at first, but it’s actually easier to achieve than it looks. There’s no need for advanced techniques—most of the magic lies in picking the right products.According to model Aisha Potter, who recently posted a TikTok featuring make-up that “glides on like butter,” achieving the look comes down to using products that melt into the skin—similar to the way a pat of butter melts into a warm slice of bread.

That means reaching for cream-based products with a satin finish. Think creamy blushes, bronzer, and foundation that blend effortlessly without sitting on top of your skin.Butter skin, however, is not just about blush, bronzer, or foundation—nor is it about slicking your face with greasy, high-shine products.

To successfully achieve this supple look, Luminous skincare products that deliver a velvet-y, hydrated look are key. Think: moisturizing formulas that illuminate the complexion and provide a smooth base for your makeup to blend into a radiant glow. The result? A make-up look that disappears into the skin for a discreet, natural effect.
