Summer time calls for wet-looking, post-pool, sun kissed, dewy skin with a natural glossy glow. Now since we are in the middle of the pandemic, and beaches are off limits, why not recreate a balmy summer look at home, with the help of some makeup of course. With highlighters making a comeback in the past years, there has been a shift from the apparent glitter filled cheeks to a more natural, healthier, overall wash of glow.Ā Now thatās where dolphin skin plays its part.Ā
Instagram is lately abuzz with the hot, new beauty trend, called the āDolphin Skinā. The latest fad,Ā Dolphin Skin is all about that effortless glow perfect for summertime.
The summer heat calls for dewy, glossy skin without looking oily or greasy. This amped up, slippery-looking skin that looks silky and smooth rather than oily, is what ādolphin skinā look is ALL ABOUT!
In case you donāt know already, glowing, smooth skin is whatās considered anĀ ideal beauty standard in the world. TheĀ desire to having perfect glass skin or yoga skin, without pores or blemishes, is what skincare and beauty brands feed on.
Named by theĀ A-List celebrity makeup artist, Mary Phillips, who has celeb clients like Kendall Jenner, Chrissy Teigen, Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid,Ā and Hailey Bieber has suggested to layer up the skin with glow-getters to that perfect, illuminating fresh sheen on the cheeks.
How to Get Dolphin Skin?
Now to reach that level of sheen (as if youāre freshly licked by a seal) Mary says;
āUse ICONIC Londonās Prep-Set-GlowĀ andĀ Illuminator for a fresh, glowy look that wonāt budge. Then, use the Sheer BlushĀ to add a āsheer gloss of colour to the cheekbone, to add to the dewy wet glow.ā
The good news is, however, is that you donāt necessarily need sets from Iconic London to achieve dolphin skin, as opposed to shown on Instagram.
From what one can see, it seems like Iconic London has maximised on the ādolphin skinā trend and created a paid partnership and collaborative campaign with influencer partners on Instagram for promotion. Now, it is true that Iconic London highlighters and blushes do provide the perfect high-sheen dolphin skin look, but this isnāt the ONLY way to achieve it. And if you do fancy a makeup splurge, it doesnāt have to be just this brand.
Step 1: You can create the dolphin skin by ensuring a properly moisturised face, smeared with sun cream on top.
Step 2: Instead of opting for mattifying products, use high-shine liquid highlighters along the cheek bones.
Step 3: Then add a sheen blush on your cheeks for an extra dewy, glowing complexion (These can be any brandsā).Ā Ā
