Radiant, dewy, almost blindingly glowy makeup has been having a seemingly non-stop moment in the spotlight with no signs of dimming – even going in 2026. From subtly highlighted cheekbones to skin-perfecting essentials for no-makeup makeup looks, next year (and every year!) is a good time to gleam.
Reach out for the sheer concealer that magically makes your complexion look even to the bronzer that gives you cheekbones you didn’t know you had. These are the glowy formulas that will earn a permanent spot in your daily makeup routine. Below are the 7 products to look fresh, awake, and just the right amount of dewy.
Ultra Violette Queen Screen Super Glow Drops
Ultra Violette’s Queen Screen Super Glow Drops is more than just sun care. The formula doubles as an all-over face illuminator, delivering a radiant, dewy glow. You won’t have to worry about mixing incompatible formulas as the brand itself recommends mixing the Glow Drops in with your everyday sunscreen for a protective, glow-giving finish.

Hourglass Vanish AirBrush Concealer
If you want to look fresh-faced and more awake while still correcting discolouration or darkness, Hourglass’ Vanish AirBrush concealer’s coverage is a good concealer. Not only does it give good coverage but it also has a beautiful, natural finish and smooths everything out without settling into fine lines.

Haus Labs Bio-Radiant™ Glassy Balm Highlighter Stick
A little shimmer on the eyes is always a good idea, and Haus Labs’ Bio-Radiant™ Glassy Balm highlighter stick makes application easy. A single swipe across the lids (or high points of the face) delivers a soft, ethereal glow that catches the light in all the right ways. Layer it with another shade to intensify the “glass skin” effect.

Sulwhasoo Perfecting Lip Color
To complete the glowy look, coat your lips with a hydrating lip balm. A tinted lip balm like Sulwhasoo’s Perfecting Lip Color stays all day and complements the rest of your natural-looking makeup. It requires less precision and upkeep than your regular bullet lipstick, but still adds life to your face.
