Cloud Skin Trend Matches Matte & Bright Look As The Sun Behind Clouds

After the glass skin dominated almost all trendy beauty looks, including red carpet, to highly influenced social media makeup, a new trend arose with the offer of a soft-matte alternative to sheeny complexions. Cloud Skin trend, which pops off on TikTok, gives you dreamy vibes and makes you think about the sun shining through a sky full of clouds.

One thing that never goes out of style is understanding natural beauty. Especially in the spring and summer, emphasizing our natural beauty with much lighter and simpler makeup can be preferable. Besides, the glazed appearance on the skin, which we often encounter even on high fashion catwalks, has also revealed that many brands such as Loewe, Balmain, and Versace have started to prefer more superficial looks instead of bright and wet-looking heavy makeup, as we have seen in recent fashion weeks.

 

 
 
 

Cloud Skin refers to the matte skin trend of the 90s, but it does not neglect to create a moist, shiny look without exaggeration. If you are considering choosing the cloud skin trend to emphasize natural beauty with the help of a little bit of makeup, follow the steps below and look at our suggestions.

1. Prepare your skin

You need nourished, moisturized and cleansed skin to achieve perfect makeup. So, the first step for all makeup is to keep your skin healthy and vibrant by not neglecting your current skincare routine. Starting with a super-hydrating base with a moisturizing cream and after that, a hydrating serum or natural oil you will apply to your skin will give you a bright and plumb look naturally.

2. Foundation & concealer

Preferring a lightweight foundation or skin tint with a radiant finish can give the skin a smooth appearance and provide colour equality in the skin. However, do not over-apply the product to the skin, and use a fluffy brush rather than a densely packed brush or, worse, a sponge if you achieve a more natural look on your skin. If you need concealer, apply the product lightly and in small amounts.

3. Blush, bronzer & highlighter 

If you think the dewy base you created one step before gives you enough of the wet highlighted look, you can skip this step. But if you want to "shine bright like a diamond", apply it to your cheeks, lips, eyes and the double curve on the upper lip (Cupid's bow) transparent, shimmer-free highlighter. You can prefer blush and bronzer that will add colour and structure to your face with a creamy texture and semi-matte or natural finishes without feeling extremely glowy.

4. Powder 

Let's come to the most critical stage of cloud skin makeup. First, you should make sure that you apply the powder you will use to fix your makeup locally, and you should prefer to apply a transparent powder very lightly to the middle of your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin to create a blur, hazy and dreamy look on your skin. Besides, as a trick to make the look more creamy, you can go over the powder with a concealer using a fluffy brush. Then, you can take your silky look to the next level by applying a light dusting of powder to this concealer.

5. Eye makeup

Preferring the eyeshadow in natural tones, applying it lightly, and adding some eyeliner to the bottom of the eyelashes will make your gaze dramatic. As the final touch of your dreamy looks, use a light coat of mascara.

6. Lips

You can prefer natural tones in lip colour; primarily, you can distribute nude matte lipsticks to your lips with a headlight brush.
