Faye Wong recently made a comeback as the spokesperson for a beauty brand. Despite being nearly fifty years old, she is still beautiful and has skin as smooth as a young girl’s. Faye Wong’s appearance has made “translucent skin” a hot topic on the internet, and everyone desires to have skin like hers. Unfortunately, we are not born with natural beauty, and our skincare efforts can only do so much. To have naturally translucent skin, we can only rely on makeup for now!
In 2020, the key beauty keyword is “translucent skin”. It’s not easy to have flawless and radiant skin, but with makeup in hand, nothing is impossible.

How is the “transparent skin” actually cultivated? Of course, skincare cannot be ignored. Regular exfoliation and rejuvenation work should be gentle and non-irritating. After purification, it is essential to moisturize and nourish the skin. The surface of the skin is hydrated and locked in moisture, while the deeper layers of the skin can focus on improving cell regeneration and blood energy microcirculation. Finally, the pursuit of perfection is necessary, removing all blemishes and flaws from the face to achieve flawless, translucent “transparent skin”!

It seems difficult and challenging to achieve “translucent skin,” right? Skincare cannot be rushed, but if you want to get a radiant look in a short time, makeup can help you achieve that little wish! On the fashion T-stage, there are also many makeup looks with a natural glow for reference. Balmain and Brock Collection are the best examples. The former enhances the light and shadow effects on the cheekbones and nose bridge in a light nude makeup, so that under the refraction of light, the tired and dull skin tone of the female model can also become a self-illuminating perfect skin! Brock Collection enhances the luminosity in a makeup look with soft smoky eyes as the main focus. In addition to the cheekbones and nose bridge, they also focus on the inner corners of the eyes and the peaks of the lips, making the luminosity more comprehensive and detailed!
Helena Rubinstein The Luminous Tint Concentrate $1,030; Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint $575
To achieve a radiant skin texture through makeup, it’s not as complicated as you might think. Helena Rubinstein, which even Faye Wong uses, has recently launched a luminous skin essence foundation. By incorporating repairing ingredients extracted from the Edelweiss flower from the Alps into the foundation, it creates a refreshing texture with a high water content, along with a lightweight oil formula that provides long-lasting moisture to the skin. With this two-in-one product, you too can easily achieve a goddess-like radiant skin texture.

In addition to foundation, some shimmering powders and blushes are also easy and convenient choices. Dior’s Makeup Creation and Image Director, Peter Philips, designed a light and translucent glow powder compact for the brand’s 2020 spring makeup collection, Glow Vibes, which comes in both pink and coral tones to brighten the complexion.

If you are looking for a more delicate shine and have advanced makeup skills, you may want to try some silver-based highlighter powders. Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty offers a Diamond Bomb 3D series with highlighter powders that have ultra-fine shimmer particles, combined with a silky powder formula, allowing the sparkling effect to naturally blend into the skin, creating a radiant yet subtle skin effect.
