9 Beauty Products To Try For The Glazed Skin Trend
Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint
AED 200 | Charlotte Tilbury
A SheerLuxe Beauty Icon, this foundation stick is beloved by our team. Though it offers coverage, it does so much more, providing a glossy effect that’s almost wet to look at, but without any tell-tale stickiness. We love that it still unifies the skin too, keeping it smooth and even. As for the stick format, it’s easy to apply on the go and can be blended out with fingers or a brush.

Face Bond Luminizer
AED 190 | Urban Decay
Designed for wear 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 sheen. The bronze tones, however, are well worth checking out for the warmer months ahead. Best applied with a brush, the handy dropper means you never go overboard with application. It’s also waterproof, so it doesn’t budge once on the skin, nor does it transfer to clothes if you choose to wear it on the body.

Glow Face Palette
AED 225 | Dior
For those who like a little shimmer with their glazed look, you can’t beat Dior’s Backstage palettes. Full of flattering shades, it houses soft peach, pink and cream tones that are sheer and buildable. The subtle gold flecks of powder give skin that doughnut effect, without going OTT. Use a big fluffy brush, swirling it across all the shades then buffing into your skin for real impact, or apply the tones individually for more emphasis on your natural bone structure.

Glow Fusion Highlighting Drops
AED 69 | Kiko
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 bring a subtle dimension that works beautifully on cheekbones, brow bones and down the nose.

Microbial Gel
AED 165 | 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.

Great Skin Instant Glow Serum
AED 230 | Merit Beauty
Shake this formula up to see the bronzy texture combine with the silky serum to produce a product that’s unlike anything we’ve tried before. 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.

Super Skin Nova Moisture Rich Primer
AED 200 | Vieve
Richer than Vieve’s original Skin Nova Primer, this buttery formula is packed with 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.

Lumi Les Glass Sticks
AED 54 | 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.

Glazing Milk
AED 172 | Rhode
It’s a no-brainer to have this feature. Rhode’s Glazing Milk is a global bestseller, experts love it for the glossy, glassy finish it gives skin. Full of ceramides, it’s an essence that you apply between your cleanser and serum. It’s very versatile – you can also mix it with foundation or concealer for an immediate sheen. Whatever you choose, you’ll love the near-laminated effect it lends your complexion.
