HOW TO GET THE MOONLIT SKIN LOOK

February 6, 2025 by Amanda Etkind
The golden hour glow had its time in the sun – now, it’s all about mimicking the moonlight. Drawing inspiration from the movements of the moon and lunar phases, the Moonlit Skin trend is shaped by bright, even and balanced cool tones.

Blurring the line between fantasy and reality, this filtered, ethereal gleam uses strategically placed flashes of shimmer and glimmer in shades of silver, blue and violet. “Before, glow was about golden and warm tones — now, everything's going very cool,” says Alexandra French, Makeup Artist.

Embrace the celestial energy of the trend using glowy skin and eye essentials including Hyper Real Serumizer™ , Hyper Real Serumizer™ Eye, Strobe Dewy Skin Tint and Dazzleshadow Liquid in Not Afraid To Sparkle.

There’s no denying this trend is for those who love to shimmer and glow. “We used a lot of glitters, shimmers and a lot of glow,” says French. “I think more is more.”
