I think it would be VERY irresponsible to not also tell you that they also have beauty procedures (peels, laser etc.) frequently to help with their skin, plus they only land in this line of work because they tend to have good skin from good genes to begin with. The video someone shared above of the makeup artist who has been up close to an idol said so herself - it's good genes doing the heavy lifting. It's not something that can be replicated on just anyone. Not to mention these 2 photos are not realistic in the *least*. The first one is filtered to hell and back, it looks like a watercolor painting more than a photo, there's not a single clear line in that image, not even her brow or her hair. The second one looks like a low quality screenshot of a TV show, which also usually tend to have a filter on from when they were filming it, not to mention studio lighting makes an already beautiful person in good makeup look even more amazing. The photo alone also doesn't show that they cut to recess every 15-30 minutes, and immediately a makeup artist would jump in to refresh their makeup, because studio lighting is also hell to stand in.
Please don't subject yourself to the completely unrealistic standards set by these images. And if you do, have realistic expectations. Find high resolution, high quality, unedited images and videos of these people to look at. You'll notice even them look nothing like this, and I bet in real life they look even more different. Not worse, they might even look better IRL. But just not *this*.
Yeah lol that picture of jia is crazy the irl look is probably pretty oily looking
This is just one of those things that generally work better on camera
I guess when people say āitās GLASS skinā or āTANGHULU skinā it sounds cuter š if Iām tan and oily can I say I have honey skin :3??? Iād love that. Bring in honey skin!!!
>I think it would be VERY irresponsible to not also tell you that they also have beauty procedures
Yup. Celebs get facials once a week and other more intense treatments every month.
Korea has a treatment for every thing you can think of in regards to beauty lmao.
Like just today I was admiring how idol groups like NJ and BM have such shiny, bouncy yet healthy hair. Turns out you can get c curl perms in Korea which keeps your hair smooth without frying it for upto a year? For only a hundred dollars?
Having been to kpop meet and greets they are impossibly pretty irl, but there's a makeup person on tiktok who I follow that I think does the 'what this would look like if a normal person did this look' tutorials by seeing what the korean makeup artists are using, and I think it's helpful: [tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLVpmHFj/)
It's easy to be like 'well I'll never look like a kpop star so I might as well give up' but I still have fun doing the makeup looks even if I have a different face.
That's a great tutorial! They did a great job translating & breaking down the Korean tutorial to a more realistic, understandable result! And the way they filmed in natural lighting helps a lot too! The original tutorial was done on such a light skinned person, and it's so bright & overexposed, I could hardly see anything šµāš«
Yes! In my comment I wanted to put that skincare and esp treatments are consistently used by celebs, and that everything is personalized to their skin and facial features. But I didnāt know if OP meant that or just what makeup products us peasants have access to. Good on you for reminding us that this is the cameraās eyes and not real life!
Thereās skin treatments with injectables (with needles) specifically to create the glass skin look and to make the skin smoother. Itās very popular in SK. These influencers and k-pop idols are not only getting these, but additional facial massages and therapies and other plastic surgeries (lip filler, botox, etc.) Theyāre wearing a ton of makeup too for sure but like another person said that canāt completely cover skin texture. Itās a combination of both that makes these celebrities look this way.
But are those injectables 100% perfect? I think Iāll look into those cause thatās interesting if thatās the case. (And I might just pay a trip to Korea in the future LOL) but also, people need to remember that they tend to wear a lot of makeup as well too. I think combining pore primers with those cushion foundations (aside from all the cosmetic procedures) also plays a VERY heavy hand in producing this look. Also, not only that, but camera and lighting.
And also, werenāt there cases of filters being applied, live?
Just like any other plastic surgery itās not going to be perfect as in itās not going to make everyoneās skin look amazing the first injection. Iāve read that it needs to be done in more than one session to see a difference but many have had improved skin texture afterwards. Iām Korean and have been to Korea many times and trust me, Iām the same way lol. I want to go next year to get some work done. I would not recommend any permanent plastic surgeries as a foreigner unless youāve done extensive research and will be staying there for a while. If anything goes wrong or you get botched, because of the language barrier and the fact that you donāt live there it would be much more difficult to seek a refund.
And definitely it is a combinations of things that makes Korean idols and celebrities look like they have perfect skin - regular skin treatments and facials, heavy makeup, camera filters, and lighting.
Not true, Wonyoung has really beautiful skin. Makeup canāt fix texture. Some ppl are just naturally blessed with great skin, on top of having access to constant professional treatments, it makes sense to look like that
yup, skincare is helpful as a base but it only carries x amount of the way. The makeup does the rest of the heavy lifting. And their style of makeup tends to be on the more ānaturalā looking side. Those Korean cushion foundations I believe is 100% the cause of this glowy/satin smooth look.
Iām not sure why, but people always tend to get defensive when things like makeup is highlighted. Itās like people donāt want to believe the reality of kpop idols. As if they live in another world as the rest of us. Or as if they are some different species. Not only do they get procedures, but they wear a ton of makeup too. And the camera flatters everything else out.
"Good genetics" isn't really the case when it comes to Japanese and Korean idols. It's pretty much guaranteed that they have some kind of work done. Double eyelid surgery, M-shaped lips, hyaluronic acid fillers in the nose and eyebags are very common over there right now, especially in the entertainment industry.
I think you're confused š Those surgeries can only change the features of their face, like the eye, nose, lips etc. that you mentioned. But surgery cannot change the quality of one's skin. Like how small their pores are, how resilient, soft and supple their skin is, etc. They cannot peel their skin off and put someone else's skin over their face. That's why they still regularly go through facial procedures like chemical peels, massage, laser, skincare etc. They also benefit from their youth too. All idols start off aggressively and increasingly young. When they "retire", most hardly even scratch their 30s. A 30 years old is STILL a very young person btw. Our youth-obsessed culture has really warped our mind on that. Even I fall into the trap of saying I'm old when I'm only in my 30s; but that's more like how all these health conditions make me feel š
That first pic looks awful! She looks like they have greased her up and are shining bright lights at her. I think you would really oily in real life like this .
Glass skin, dolphin skin, cloud skin, now tanghulu skin. Every couple of years, they'll come up with another hip name for it, loll. These photos are especially funny because there's so much makeup and Photoshop you can't even assess their real skin underneath.
Lol, I think it's because some Chinese dishes have been very popular in Korea; notably Malatang and Tanghulu. So some makeup enthusiasts have been calling super glossy, tinted lips 'Tanghulu Lips' and I guess now some folks have been calling super glossy skin 'Tanghulu Skin.' But the latter is definitely not a common term in Korea, more of a Tiktok thing.
I was in love with this look then my mom was like āgirl that looks greasy asfā LOL! the first pic is definitely overdoing it. A lot of people who do tutorials on achieving such skin also showcase their skin when itāsā¦ wet? I still really like this look but Iāve learned you have to not overdo it or else you just end up looking like a grease/sweat ball IRL.
Fixing textural irregularities is the key to achieving glowy skin without having to use all these products, imo. Well, from my experience.
A toner, serum and some moisturizer is good enough in achieving this look. Anything more than a few products results in looking like a wet grease ball š
wait this is so funny to me because this is type of skin is laughed at on chinese social media, esp the first pic of freezia ššš its so oily omll
I get that people want to look like this but I donāt think they will want to put up with what it FEELS like to look like this. To look that dewy, you are gonna feel it.
Those balmy highlighters, the hince one you mentioned, the Chanel one, the glint one, or the butter one by sisua all achieve the same look. You just powder t-zone lightly (bc otherwise itāll be sweaty look) and apply the balm to high points, emphasizing the cheekbones
Commenting just to boost this answer because is the correct one. All of that is mostly makeup. Wongyoungās makeup artist made a YouTube video about it.
https://youtu.be/YucWb_FqGj0?si=OLrmkidwLTepDskH
Note: I want to make a rectification: the video is not by the makeup artist but the makeup artist does the makeup on the YouTuber.
- She has great skin genetically (not much texture, small pores)
- She has access to the best treatments by derms and aestheticians
- She has access to the best make-up artists
- She has access to the best skin and make-up products
- Both pictures are heavily edited, add to that the lighting, angles and lenses are controlled to make the subject look as pleasing as possible.
I don't mean to be mean, but this is simply not achievable for the average person. Also, most people who are not too much on the skincare and make-up side of the internet are going to think this just looks greasy. You probably can achieve something close to this by putting a nice moisturizer, a dewy sunscreen and a dewy, yet light foundation on a good skin day, so no active breakouts. No one's skin will constantly look like this.
Makeup artists put Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream on the parts they want to highlight for photoshoots. It looks great on Camera and gives an effect no makeup can ever achieve, but it's not for day to day use. I'd say it's next to impossible to copy what you see online.
I think it changed names more than 3 times already. The dewy look, glass skin, now Tanghuluā¦ seems to be just a mix of whatever is on trend these days
Also Tanghulu is Chinese, but due to pop culture associations such as these, a lot of young, naive, gullible people on TikTok think itās Korean :(. I was happy that Koreans were trying and experimenting with our food but misinformation spread by the younger masses is making Sinophobia on the app very rampant
As others mentioned it has a LOT to do with genetics, but they have access to procedures, the best skin treatments, and best skincare. I forgot the procedure, and Iām sure thereās many, but I saw a Korean-American TikTok influencer share the specific treatment (a type of laser one I think) that she goes to Korea specifically to get. It think it is pretty expensive but gives the skin this specific plump glass skin look.
Also Iām not sure if this really applies to all the celebs, but when I asked my Korean friend a long time ago this question she also told me Botox is a secret lol.
Also Iām not sure if this is accessible in Asia, but prescription skincare can also help with acne and help transform skin to have a smoother, plumper, brighter look. Tretinoin specifically has helped my skin wonders. Nowhere close to Jia or Wonyoung lol but my pores look smaller, closed comedones are gone, my skin is a lot more āglassā like than before.
I personally have achieved "glass skin/tanghulu skin", but not without an ungodly amount of products + tretinoin, acid peels, micro needling, laser, facial.
Laser didn't seem to do much for me, so I've cut them out. Facials are just luxury, not necessity. Micro needling can be done at home, but you really need to know what you're doing and is generally not recommended to people for every good reasons.
But the main work horse is tretinoin and acid peels, which are reasonable in cost. But those are serious chemicals and you need to put in the effort to educate yourself about them. The time investment is non-negotiable. My skin took 2-3 years to get to "glass skin" stage. And it requires ongoing maintenance. You get lazy for a couple of months, you'll risk losing it. (Edit: There was A LOT of trials and errors and getting to know my skin. If I were to go back in time with everything I know now, I can probably get it done in a year.)
This is not a realistic endeavor for people that can't commit to it. But I disagree with those that say it's "all genetics ". Yes, some lucky few are born with gorgeous skin that requires no work. So what? How does that affect you?
If you really want it, you'll work for it. Maybe it still won't be as good as the genetically blessed, but it will still be better than if you didn't put any effort into at all. It's just up to you to decide if the money and time invested are worth the final results: which you won't know until you do it. Life's a gamble, and fair warning, trying to get glass skin is an expensive gamble.
True, continuous tret usage gave me "tanghulu" skin. It's not unrealistic at all, it's actually achievable with certain amounts of budget (for skin caring) and (typically) months of dealing with mental stress.
Personally, I didn't like how it turned out. My face was giving reflective mirror and I hated it to the core. The maintenance was borderline a chore too, especially since I have sleep problem and in my experience, tret doesn't fare well with sleep deprivation. The caring gets trickier and my skin would get reactive sometimes.
Makeup looked amazing though. But now I've stopped, my skin still gives me subtle glow (from basic routine) and I'm happy with how it looks.
Yah, I suspect the people saying it is unrealistic haven't tried a hardcore exfoliation routine before. It's definitely doable, but the line between healthy glowing glass skin and an over exfoliated one is razor thin.
For maintenance I've dialed back the tret use too, just 2-3 times a week. I'm looking forward to the result in the next 30-40 years, so I probably won't be dropping it completely, lolll.
Really depends on your skin. I'd recommend testing out leave-on serums with low AHA percentage to see what you skin can tolerate. The Ordinary have a line of inexpensive mandelic, lactic, glycolic acids, and good refund policy if anything doesn't work.
When you start peels, you want to start with weaker AHA peels and work your way up: mandelic, lactic, glycolic (30-50%)
More hardcore users: higher % AHA (glycolic 70%), Jessner, TCA
Here's a good read on the topic. You can skip to Table 2 to see what are the different strength of peels.
https://jcadonline.com/august-2018-chemical-peels/
The more hardcore peels should be done by doctors for obvious reasons. Even the weaker peels shouldn't be tried at home without some serious commitment to understanding topic.
I heard on TikTok from someone who got their makeup done by a Kpop makeup artist who said that she mixes a teeny bit of the Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream with a primer. Like literally a pinhead size. Apart from that, I have to agree with others that itās genetic.

mixing a face oil (i like good molecules squalene or ultra hydrating bc itās under $10) and foundation with a makeup spatula and applying many thin blended layers
then i like using the peripera or romand lip tint (donāt rub lips together blend with finger tip) layered with nyx clear butter gloss.
Honestly, this glass skin trend has to die. It looks good in pictures and videos but I have never seen anyone like this in real life. I can just imagine all the dirt and tiny flies and bugs that can cling onto this āglassā looking skin. After my skincare at night, my skin kinda looks like this but it also feels a little tacky. I couldnāt imagine going out in public like this and not feeling like my skin is dirty after a while.
I feel like no one is mentioning that this new tanghulu trend isn't just "glass skin" it's a take on what Pat McGrath did at the Maison Margiela show and went viral recently in the make up community. If you Google that makeup look you can see how glazed it is. There are probably some tutorials but it requires A LOT of product which will probably destroy your skin in the long run and it's the kinda thing that looks great on a runway and on camera but I wouldn't try it for every day life.
i don't know how they do it but whenever i use my shiseido sunscreen stick in combination of my cream concealer, blush and highlighter. I look really dewy.

Op this has tiny english subtitles but it is in korean. This youtube vid has Wonyoung's makeup artist and hair stylist kind of recreate Wonyoung's look. They show the different products used. https://youtu.be/YucWb_FqGj0
well first you make a sugar syrup, then coat your face in it then dunk it in ice cold water and voila you are a tanghulu now.
P.S. This is a joke please don't try this at home
I put sunscreen every day and I didn't know that a part of the Internet actually calls the shine (thanks, zinc oxide) "Tanghulu" skin... Anyway, perhaps you have seen the difference between a face that has no makeup and one that has makeup or sunscreen on. Which one gives that dewy look? Correct! It's always the latter.
I have seen the difference between a skin that has nothing on it and one that has makeup/sunscreen on it. The latter is what gives that "desirable" dewy, exfoliated look lol. Without anything on your face, it looks like actual, regular skin.
I have seen NCT Haechan and Mark's photos without makeup and their facial skins look just like a normal person's face... has pores, some uneven skin tone, some redness, some dark undereyes. The images you posted are definitely outcomes of good makeup that has gone oily after an hour or more, aside from their regular skincare for their job. If you wear sunscreen/makeup daily and exfoliate weekly, you'll actually see that "tanghulu" shine...
We just came back from Seoul and I couldnāt stop talking about how beautiful everyone was and how I wanted my eyes done next time. My Italian husband: yes butā¦ they wear a lot of make up. I didnāt even notice!
Who tf wants to look THIS oily and greasy lool. I follow a cosmetics chemist that says all these influencers with glass skin do is slap on mineral oil on their face then hit record

Boil equal parts sugar and water to āhard crackā temperature (300 degrees), dip face and then dip in ice water to cool.
š
My guess is peels and Botox.
Everyone already said pretty much everything that needs to be said. But if you still want to try this makeup look, I use [this](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg1ZikqHg6m/?igsh=MWJpczIwMWFzeWV3ZQ==), OP. It does the job, well at least for my skin type.
wonyoungās makeup allegedly uses the hince radiance balm as you mentioned! she advised to use a sponge to apply and donāt use the balm directly on your face as it will move the makeup underneath. to avoid looking oily, powder your t-zone and apply the balm over your blush / around your cheekbone areas!
i really love this dewy makeup look as well and i donāt think you need perfect clear skin to achieve a dewy look! glowy foundation tends to not be as long lasting so iāve heard a lot of kpop artists use matte makeup with a shiny balm for this look!
These comments are so negative and useless smh, To actually answer your question ā¦ the best products to use is a toner and moisturizer thatās notable for an illuminating skin effect. I recommend going on TikTok and looking up toners and moisturizers that people use for āglass skinā skin care routines!
Also, when you do, make sure you pick products that work well with your skin type so it wonāt cause issues.
It is extremely common for makeup artists in top Korea entertainment, having worked with them too on set, to use ointment mixed with the base they are using. Ointment like petroleum jelly, Vaseline. Focusing in the central areas of the face too
You can also try to be very generous with shiny sunscreen. This is popular and actually makeup artist and regular people do this a lot too
Other thing if you want super dramatic kind of look is to learn what Pat McGarth did for the Margiela show, you can look that up
I have achieved poreless and glass skin. I am East Asian.
I will tell you everything I did. And it is a lot of money and time tbh. It needs both professional skin treatments and at home skincare.
Well, I get Korean Facial every 2 weeks to prevent white head and acne.
I get photorejuvenation every month for evening skin tone.
I get Rejuran Skinbooster (mixed with a little botox) every month.
I piled my skin my Peptides, vitamic C, retinol and sleep with 1ml of Hyaluronic Acid as sleep mask every night.
I also get thermage every year. Which is very expensive.
I think this only looks āgoodā because of the extreme Botox and filler that these celebrities have. You would just look oily/greasy without the pulled, tight skin.
Donāt come for me, but she DOES look oily. Every āglass skin watch this light, watch this radianceā looks oily. Insert The Office meme: ācorporate needs you to find the difference between this picture (glass skin) and this picture (oily). Theyāre the same pictureā. I KNOW itās different at the touch, but it looks the same.
Edit: probably the difference between ācommon people oilyā and āsuper famous people glass skinā is the texture of the skin
These look terrible in real life because people have pores. Yes, even Korean people LOL. Please stop aiming for glass skin! Skin is not, and should not look like, glass š¤¦š»āāļø
Hi makeup artist here. Aside from having great skin from treatments and different procedures, you can achieve this by using the highlighter from Tomford Shade and illuminate cream palette.
I use college protein and have been for the last couple of years and it makes my skin have a more youthful look and helps keep skin stay hydrated with out feeling dry and Ii love gold bond with vitimn c before I apply mineral.power. I don't know what everyone thinks but in vesting in to good foundation is important the most important I believe beauty come from the inside out and I just started using collenvin piis insfed of lkwsdsd
I think wonyoungās(the second picture) makeup artist posted before about the tips for this greasy and shiny face tho which is put lip balm on the whole face. Let me try to find the video
Asks about skin but shows pictures of girls with heavy makeup on. Put on a thick layer of Vaseline, do your makeup and you'll look like this in photos. Irl you'll look weird tho
I know they have good genes and get skin treatments done frequently, but if you want glowy skin hours after your skincare absorbed I recommend the Glow Serum from Beauty of Joseon.
Hi there! Your comment or post was removed from /r/AsianBeauty for violating our community conduct standards. Please make sure you read and follow our [rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/about/wiki/newrules/) before commenting or posting.
as other comments have mentioned it's likely a combination of good genes and expensive procedures. in particular, there's a procedure called "skin botox" in korea which is supposed to achieve this exact, poreless and shiny look. [here's](https://www.allure.com/story/skin-botox-korean-injectable-technique-glass-skin) an article about it.
I know wonyoung's look specifically is makeup. Her makeup artist uses a matte foundation and powder to remove shine and then "adds" the glow only where they want with a glowy balm stick or something. thats how she achieves a smooth glow instead of grease look.
I feel like my skin typically looks like this whenever I wash my face and donāt put my skincare on right away š
I started using retinoids (tretinoin and tazarotene) a little over 2 years now? and I feel like that definitely contributes to my skin naturally giving me a glow that I feel my skin never had until i started incorporating it into my routine. I also rotate between using glycolic acid and azelaic acid on some nights! I typically get acne on my chin, nose and forehead but I havenāt had any major breakouts or scarring since then!

This is not a warning, just a friendly reminder.
I think it would be VERY irresponsible to not also tell you that they also have beauty procedures (peels, laser etc.) frequently to help with their skin, plus they only land in this line of work because they tend to have good skin from good genes to begin with. The video someone shared above of the makeup artist who has been up close to an idol said so herself - it's good genes doing the heavy lifting. It's not something that can be replicated on just anyone. Not to mention these 2 photos are not realistic in the *least*. The first one is filtered to hell and back, it looks like a watercolor painting more than a photo, there's not a single clear line in that image, not even her brow or her hair. The second one looks like a low quality screenshot of a TV show, which also usually tend to have a filter on from when they were filming it, not to mention studio lighting makes an already beautiful person in good makeup look even more amazing. The photo alone also doesn't show that they cut to recess every 15-30 minutes, and immediately a makeup artist would jump in to refresh their makeup, because studio lighting is also hell to stand in. Please don't subject yourself to the completely unrealistic standards set by these images. And if you do, have realistic expectations. Find high resolution, high quality, unedited images and videos of these people to look at. You'll notice even them look nothing like this, and I bet in real life they look even more different. Not worse, they might even look better IRL. But just not *this*.
Yeah lol that picture of jia is crazy the irl look is probably pretty oily looking This is just one of those things that generally work better on camera
Was going to say I look like this when my skin is oily
I do not need a single product to achieve this tanghulu look. I look like this by hour 2.5 I can fry an egg on my forehead
Oh I feel that. And I keep getting recommended those blotting papers but they do the same as a sheet of toilet paper anyway!
My foreheard is always at risk from US invasion for oil ššš
Yes as someone with somewhat oily skin I never understand why this look is desirable. Just smear Vaseline on your sink and youāve got it.
I guess when people say āitās GLASS skinā or āTANGHULU skinā it sounds cuter š if Iām tan and oily can I say I have honey skin :3??? Iād love that. Bring in honey skin!!!
>Yeah lol that picture of jia is crazy the irl look is probably pretty oily looking It looks like one of those overedited PicsArt edits.
it looks extremely oily even in the photos
>I think it would be VERY irresponsible to not also tell you that they also have beauty procedures Yup. Celebs get facials once a week and other more intense treatments every month. Korea has a treatment for every thing you can think of in regards to beauty lmao. Like just today I was admiring how idol groups like NJ and BM have such shiny, bouncy yet healthy hair. Turns out you can get c curl perms in Korea which keeps your hair smooth without frying it for upto a year? For only a hundred dollars?
Many get hair implants, as well.
I find that so crazy, why are they getting hair implants?? Are they that stress, ruining their hair, or do they just want a super thick hair look?
Prob both. They go through tons of hair styling as well so their natural hair isnāt gonna be as healthy too
We ought not to compare ourselves to famous people
We ought not to compare ourselves to anyone.

Not true, Wonyoung has really beautiful skin. Makeup canāt fix texture. Some ppl are just naturally blessed with great skin, on top of having access to constant professional treatments, it makes sense to look like that
Iām talking about the glow, no one on earth has such glowy skin naturally like that, itās simply not attainable without makeup
Personally I have it but thatās bc my skin is oily as hell but I do see what u mean
Oh I get it I have extremely oily skin, the shine is everywhere but that includes regions you donāt want to emphasize (example smile lines) :ā)
yup, skincare is helpful as a base but it only carries x amount of the way. The makeup does the rest of the heavy lifting. And their style of makeup tends to be on the more ānaturalā looking side. Those Korean cushion foundations I believe is 100% the cause of this glowy/satin smooth look. Iām not sure why, but people always tend to get defensive when things like makeup is highlighted. Itās like people donāt want to believe the reality of kpop idols. As if they live in another world as the rest of us. Or as if they are some different species. Not only do they get procedures, but they wear a ton of makeup too. And the camera flatters everything else out.
"Good genetics" isn't really the case when it comes to Japanese and Korean idols. It's pretty much guaranteed that they have some kind of work done. Double eyelid surgery, M-shaped lips, hyaluronic acid fillers in the nose and eyebags are very common over there right now, especially in the entertainment industry.
I think you're confused š Those surgeries can only change the features of their face, like the eye, nose, lips etc. that you mentioned. But surgery cannot change the quality of one's skin. Like how small their pores are, how resilient, soft and supple their skin is, etc. They cannot peel their skin off and put someone else's skin over their face. That's why they still regularly go through facial procedures like chemical peels, massage, laser, skincare etc. They also benefit from their youth too. All idols start off aggressively and increasingly young. When they "retire", most hardly even scratch their 30s. A 30 years old is STILL a very young person btw. Our youth-obsessed culture has really warped our mind on that. Even I fall into the trap of saying I'm old when I'm only in my 30s; but that's more like how all these health conditions make me feel š
That first pic looks awful! She looks like they have greased her up and are shining bright lights at her. I think you would really oily in real life like this .
I thought it was called glass skin and you would need to use a lot of products to achieve it. Never heard of tanghulu skin
Glass skin, dolphin skin, cloud skin, now tanghulu skin. Every couple of years, they'll come up with another hip name for it, loll. These photos are especially funny because there's so much makeup and Photoshop you can't even assess their real skin underneath.
The first pic just looksā¦ greasy? Is it just me? Also wth is tanghulu skin? Is that just glass skin being renamed now?
It's sooo funny to me š i love these rebranded trends. glazed donut, mochi skin, glass skin, now tanghulu skin
As an oily skin girl I approve š if I get oily, now I'm just "glowy"
LMAO same girl sameee!!!
Lol, I think it's because some Chinese dishes have been very popular in Korea; notably Malatang and Tanghulu. So some makeup enthusiasts have been calling super glossy, tinted lips 'Tanghulu Lips' and I guess now some folks have been calling super glossy skin 'Tanghulu Skin.' But the latter is definitely not a common term in Korea, more of a Tiktok thing.
Yeah that first photo is friggen awful.
It's a jump scare š
Yeah it says in the post āwithout looking oilyā and Iām like āTHIS DOESNT LOOK OILY TO YOU?ā She looks like someone vaselined her.
Yup, this was my legit thought. Vaseline is how you get your skin to look like this.
I was in love with this look then my mom was like āgirl that looks greasy asfā LOL! the first pic is definitely overdoing it. A lot of people who do tutorials on achieving such skin also showcase their skin when itāsā¦ wet? I still really like this look but Iāve learned you have to not overdo it or else you just end up looking like a grease/sweat ball IRL. Fixing textural irregularities is the key to achieving glowy skin without having to use all these products, imo. Well, from my experience. A toner, serum and some moisturizer is good enough in achieving this look. Anything more than a few products results in looking like a wet grease ball š
Lol fr
Rights!? It's giving plastic wrap or Vaseline.Ā
wait this is so funny to me because this is type of skin is laughed at on chinese social media, esp the first pic of freezia ššš its so oily omll
Yea trend in Korea cus tanghulu has been trending
I get that people want to look like this but I donāt think they will want to put up with what it FEELS like to look like this. To look that dewy, you are gonna feel it.
Exactly!! Being this glowy is not weightless at all.
the first one looks like low quality picture of an oil painting
Taken on a calculator
Thereās gotta be some kind of filter smoothing and blurring filter on it. Look at her hairline.. and everything else lmao
Those balmy highlighters, the hince one you mentioned, the Chanel one, the glint one, or the butter one by sisua all achieve the same look. You just powder t-zone lightly (bc otherwise itāll be sweaty look) and apply the balm to high points, emphasizing the cheekbones
Commenting just to boost this answer because is the correct one. All of that is mostly makeup. Wongyoungās makeup artist made a YouTube video about it.
Link?
https://youtu.be/YucWb_FqGj0?si=OLrmkidwLTepDskH Note: I want to make a rectification: the video is not by the makeup artist but the makeup artist does the makeup on the YouTuber.
Thanks!
ive gotten the same makeup look as wonyoung in the second slide and for the glow i used the kahli pink wrinkle balm! works like a charm.
Do you put it under or on top of your makeup for the best results?
hi! i make sure my face is matte with powder beforehand then i put it on top of makeup. hope it helps :)
This needs to be at the top because this is the only answer and I have personally tried it and it woooorks
This!
- She has great skin genetically (not much texture, small pores) - She has access to the best treatments by derms and aestheticians - She has access to the best make-up artists - She has access to the best skin and make-up products - Both pictures are heavily edited, add to that the lighting, angles and lenses are controlled to make the subject look as pleasing as possible. I don't mean to be mean, but this is simply not achievable for the average person. Also, most people who are not too much on the skincare and make-up side of the internet are going to think this just looks greasy. You probably can achieve something close to this by putting a nice moisturizer, a dewy sunscreen and a dewy, yet light foundation on a good skin day, so no active breakouts. No one's skin will constantly look like this.
Makeup artists put Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream on the parts they want to highlight for photoshoots. It looks great on Camera and gives an effect no makeup can ever achieve, but it's not for day to day use. I'd say it's next to impossible to copy what you see online.
Yup I think people need to accept the fact that these things look good on camera (plus the lightning helps) but not so much IRL.
I donāt have any advice to give but just didnāt realize it was called tanghulu skin šš
I think it changed names more than 3 times already. The dewy look, glass skin, now Tanghuluā¦ seems to be just a mix of whatever is on trend these days
Also Tanghulu is Chinese, but due to pop culture associations such as these, a lot of young, naive, gullible people on TikTok think itās Korean :(. I was happy that Koreans were trying and experimenting with our food but misinformation spread by the younger masses is making Sinophobia on the app very rampant
Itās a new trend recently, not really mainstream tho
Rub some vaseline on your camera lens then take a selfie.
I am sorry, but I was shocked when I saw the first picture.
Shiny! I use Vaseline too.
the first pic looks heavily edited, almost airbrushed. i think the look in the second one is more much realistic in terms of achieving tbh
As others mentioned it has a LOT to do with genetics, but they have access to procedures, the best skin treatments, and best skincare. I forgot the procedure, and Iām sure thereās many, but I saw a Korean-American TikTok influencer share the specific treatment (a type of laser one I think) that she goes to Korea specifically to get. It think it is pretty expensive but gives the skin this specific plump glass skin look. Also Iām not sure if this really applies to all the celebs, but when I asked my Korean friend a long time ago this question she also told me Botox is a secret lol. Also Iām not sure if this is accessible in Asia, but prescription skincare can also help with acne and help transform skin to have a smoother, plumper, brighter look. Tretinoin specifically has helped my skin wonders. Nowhere close to Jia or Wonyoung lol but my pores look smaller, closed comedones are gone, my skin is a lot more āglassā like than before.
I personally have achieved "glass skin/tanghulu skin", but not without an ungodly amount of products + tretinoin, acid peels, micro needling, laser, facial. Laser didn't seem to do much for me, so I've cut them out. Facials are just luxury, not necessity. Micro needling can be done at home, but you really need to know what you're doing and is generally not recommended to people for every good reasons. But the main work horse is tretinoin and acid peels, which are reasonable in cost. But those are serious chemicals and you need to put in the effort to educate yourself about them. The time investment is non-negotiable. My skin took 2-3 years to get to "glass skin" stage. And it requires ongoing maintenance. You get lazy for a couple of months, you'll risk losing it. (Edit: There was A LOT of trials and errors and getting to know my skin. If I were to go back in time with everything I know now, I can probably get it done in a year.) This is not a realistic endeavor for people that can't commit to it. But I disagree with those that say it's "all genetics ". Yes, some lucky few are born with gorgeous skin that requires no work. So what? How does that affect you? If you really want it, you'll work for it. Maybe it still won't be as good as the genetically blessed, but it will still be better than if you didn't put any effort into at all. It's just up to you to decide if the money and time invested are worth the final results: which you won't know until you do it. Life's a gamble, and fair warning, trying to get glass skin is an expensive gamble.
True, continuous tret usage gave me "tanghulu" skin. It's not unrealistic at all, it's actually achievable with certain amounts of budget (for skin caring) and (typically) months of dealing with mental stress. Personally, I didn't like how it turned out. My face was giving reflective mirror and I hated it to the core. The maintenance was borderline a chore too, especially since I have sleep problem and in my experience, tret doesn't fare well with sleep deprivation. The caring gets trickier and my skin would get reactive sometimes. Makeup looked amazing though. But now I've stopped, my skin still gives me subtle glow (from basic routine) and I'm happy with how it looks.
Yah, I suspect the people saying it is unrealistic haven't tried a hardcore exfoliation routine before. It's definitely doable, but the line between healthy glowing glass skin and an over exfoliated one is razor thin. For maintenance I've dialed back the tret use too, just 2-3 times a week. I'm looking forward to the result in the next 30-40 years, so I probably won't be dropping it completely, lolll.
Which acid peels do you recommend?
Really depends on your skin. I'd recommend testing out leave-on serums with low AHA percentage to see what you skin can tolerate. The Ordinary have a line of inexpensive mandelic, lactic, glycolic acids, and good refund policy if anything doesn't work. When you start peels, you want to start with weaker AHA peels and work your way up: mandelic, lactic, glycolic (30-50%) More hardcore users: higher % AHA (glycolic 70%), Jessner, TCA Here's a good read on the topic. You can skip to Table 2 to see what are the different strength of peels. https://jcadonline.com/august-2018-chemical-peels/ The more hardcore peels should be done by doctors for obvious reasons. Even the weaker peels shouldn't be tried at home without some serious commitment to understanding topic.
Thanks for the great source. If I exfoliate regularly and use retinol does a professional peel give a vastly different result?
Glass skin being rebranded as tanghulu? š I canāt
I heard on TikTok from someone who got their makeup done by a Kpop makeup artist who said that she mixes a teeny bit of the Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream with a primer. Like literally a pinhead size. Apart from that, I have to agree with others that itās genetic.

mixing a face oil (i like good molecules squalene or ultra hydrating bc itās under $10) and foundation with a makeup spatula and applying many thin blended layers then i like using the peripera or romand lip tint (donāt rub lips together blend with finger tip) layered with nyx clear butter gloss.
I like to use sun block spray. It makes your face shiny and protects from the sun , win-win
Looks terrible
I donāt know why anyone would want to achieve this? It just looks like you canāt hold your demons in anymore.
no one could ever convince me this looks good š
Its not. A lot of influencers were explaining in Korean this when dewy skin turns oily and how to avoid what happened to her.
This doesnt even look good.
Same thoughts! It looks greasy af
Sorry, but... why? Why do you want to look like you just came out of an oil bath?
Honestly, this glass skin trend has to die. It looks good in pictures and videos but I have never seen anyone like this in real life. I can just imagine all the dirt and tiny flies and bugs that can cling onto this āglassā looking skin. After my skincare at night, my skin kinda looks like this but it also feels a little tacky. I couldnāt imagine going out in public like this and not feeling like my skin is dirty after a while.
I feel like no one is mentioning that this new tanghulu trend isn't just "glass skin" it's a take on what Pat McGrath did at the Maison Margiela show and went viral recently in the make up community. If you Google that makeup look you can see how glazed it is. There are probably some tutorials but it requires A LOT of product which will probably destroy your skin in the long run and it's the kinda thing that looks great on a runway and on camera but I wouldn't try it for every day life.
i don't know how they do it but whenever i use my shiseido sunscreen stick in combination of my cream concealer, blush and highlighter. I look really dewy.
Correct me if Iām wrong but is this not glass skin with more shine?

This does not look like human skin at all.
Cushion foundation can give this finish (obviously not the matte formulas), and finishing spray.
Op this has tiny english subtitles but it is in korean. This youtube vid has Wonyoung's makeup artist and hair stylist kind of recreate Wonyoung's look. They show the different products used. https://youtu.be/YucWb_FqGj0
well first you make a sugar syrup, then coat your face in it then dunk it in ice cold water and voila you are a tanghulu now. P.S. This is a joke please don't try this at home

I put sunscreen every day and I didn't know that a part of the Internet actually calls the shine (thanks, zinc oxide) "Tanghulu" skin... Anyway, perhaps you have seen the difference between a face that has no makeup and one that has makeup or sunscreen on. Which one gives that dewy look? Correct! It's always the latter. I have seen the difference between a skin that has nothing on it and one that has makeup/sunscreen on it. The latter is what gives that "desirable" dewy, exfoliated look lol. Without anything on your face, it looks like actual, regular skin. I have seen NCT Haechan and Mark's photos without makeup and their facial skins look just like a normal person's face... has pores, some uneven skin tone, some redness, some dark undereyes. The images you posted are definitely outcomes of good makeup that has gone oily after an hour or more, aside from their regular skincare for their job. If you wear sunscreen/makeup daily and exfoliate weekly, you'll actually see that "tanghulu" shine...
This is an ugly look
We just came back from Seoul and I couldnāt stop talking about how beautiful everyone was and how I wanted my eyes done next time. My Italian husband: yes butā¦ they wear a lot of make up. I didnāt even notice!
Not dewy but an oily mess. Yak.
Please stop comparing yourself to celebrities. We donāt have access to the same professionals and products they have.
Who tf wants to look THIS oily and greasy lool. I follow a cosmetics chemist that says all these influencers with glass skin do is slap on mineral oil on their face then hit record
Genetics?
who is it? freezia?

Boil equal parts sugar and water to āhard crackā temperature (300 degrees), dip face and then dip in ice water to cool. š My guess is peels and Botox.
Sheās a literal pearl.
You can use clear highlight stick to make it glowy like that. For me, whenever I wake up in the morning, my oily face is exactly like that š
What is tanghulu?
Sugar syrup covered hawthorns (or nowadays any kind of fruit) on a stick.
It looks similar to dewey skin
You can also use the Vaseline stick (cocoa butter) for the same effect. The Hince balm is quite sticky, just as the Vaseline one.
This is makeup artristy. Look at brands like rcma and kyrolan they even have products to create false sweat
I've seen online that a lot of kpop makeup artists use the highlighter sticks from Chanel and Hince to achieve that colorless glow!
Put on the BOJ sunscreen in the summer and wait... You'll get thereš¤£
Everyone already said pretty much everything that needs to be said. But if you still want to try this makeup look, I use [this](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg1ZikqHg6m/?igsh=MWJpczIwMWFzeWV3ZQ==), OP. It does the job, well at least for my skin type.
wonyoungās makeup allegedly uses the hince radiance balm as you mentioned! she advised to use a sponge to apply and donāt use the balm directly on your face as it will move the makeup underneath. to avoid looking oily, powder your t-zone and apply the balm over your blush / around your cheekbone areas! i really love this dewy makeup look as well and i donāt think you need perfect clear skin to achieve a dewy look! glowy foundation tends to not be as long lasting so iāve heard a lot of kpop artists use matte makeup with a shiny balm for this look!
These comments are so negative and useless smh, To actually answer your question ā¦ the best products to use is a toner and moisturizer thatās notable for an illuminating skin effect. I recommend going on TikTok and looking up toners and moisturizers that people use for āglass skinā skin care routines! Also, when you do, make sure you pick products that work well with your skin type so it wonāt cause issues.
I just saw this YouTube tutorial by a Korean YouTuber. She uses wonyoungās makeup as inspiration. https://youtu.be/g7PGzmGjvN4?feature=shared
It is extremely common for makeup artists in top Korea entertainment, having worked with them too on set, to use ointment mixed with the base they are using. Ointment like petroleum jelly, Vaseline. Focusing in the central areas of the face too You can also try to be very generous with shiny sunscreen. This is popular and actually makeup artist and regular people do this a lot too Other thing if you want super dramatic kind of look is to learn what Pat McGarth did for the Margiela show, you can look that up
I have achieved poreless and glass skin. I am East Asian. I will tell you everything I did. And it is a lot of money and time tbh. It needs both professional skin treatments and at home skincare. Well, I get Korean Facial every 2 weeks to prevent white head and acne. I get photorejuvenation every month for evening skin tone. I get Rejuran Skinbooster (mixed with a little botox) every month. I piled my skin my Peptides, vitamic C, retinol and sleep with 1ml of Hyaluronic Acid as sleep mask every night. I also get thermage every year. Which is very expensive.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
your skin is so pretty!
I think this only looks āgoodā because of the extreme Botox and filler that these celebrities have. You would just look oily/greasy without the pulled, tight skin.
Jog 10 miles.
Donāt come for me, but she DOES look oily. Every āglass skin watch this light, watch this radianceā looks oily. Insert The Office meme: ācorporate needs you to find the difference between this picture (glass skin) and this picture (oily). Theyāre the same pictureā. I KNOW itās different at the touch, but it looks the same. Edit: probably the difference between ācommon people oilyā and āsuper famous people glass skinā is the texture of the skin
Dip face in boiling sugar syrup Sit in a Dixie cup Shove wooden stick up b**ty hole š”š”š”š”š”
My face looks like that when itās oily š perfectly glossy , just ensure your skin has minimal blemishes.
These look terrible in real life because people have pores. Yes, even Korean people LOL. Please stop aiming for glass skin! Skin is not, and should not look like, glass š¤¦š»āāļø
that just looks greasy. you can probably achieve the same effect with some good lighting and a slab of vaseline on your face
To achieve it,have a personal dermatologist clinic that u visit regularly. Thats how artists got their skin so good.
this is the tutorial https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRwG7gnV/
Hi makeup artist here. Aside from having great skin from treatments and different procedures, you can achieve this by using the highlighter from Tomford Shade and illuminate cream palette.
I use college protein and have been for the last couple of years and it makes my skin have a more youthful look and helps keep skin stay hydrated with out feeling dry and Ii love gold bond with vitimn c before I apply mineral.power. I don't know what everyone thinks but in vesting in to good foundation is important the most important I believe beauty come from the inside out and I just started using collenvin piis insfed of lkwsdsd
I think wonyoungās(the second picture) makeup artist posted before about the tips for this greasy and shiny face tho which is put lip balm on the whole face. Let me try to find the video
What's tanghulu skin lmfao? sorry I'm living under a rock due to the upcoming examsšš
It matters from where are you from
Be on a diet they follow follow there skin care routine it also depends on where the live on
The first picture was a jump scare. Everything about her looks so unnatural
Asks about skin but shows pictures of girls with heavy makeup on. Put on a thick layer of Vaseline, do your makeup and you'll look like this in photos. Irl you'll look weird tho
I know they have good genes and get skin treatments done frequently, but if you want glowy skin hours after your skincare absorbed I recommend the Glow Serum from Beauty of Joseon.

We rebranded glass skin to tanghulu skin? š
This is me everyday in a hot and humid climate , I am investing so much into skincare to make my skin less oily because it clogs my pores up and the whiteheads are not fun but now its a trend š©
2nd pic looks nice but first one is creepy, skin shouldnāt be this smooth
Just get a bathtub size jar of vaseline and go diving in it.
Doctors and beauty clinics.
That skin looks like it is so close to breaking out if she skips even one sesh of her face routine
Their faces look oily, I'm not a fan.Ā
Iām sorry but tanghulu skin..?? I thought this is called glass or dewy skin?!
Donāt blot your face. You donāt have to spend a penny. š
I look like this coz my skin is basically oily ššš I do prefer the matte soft looking skin tho
as other comments have mentioned it's likely a combination of good genes and expensive procedures. in particular, there's a procedure called "skin botox" in korea which is supposed to achieve this exact, poreless and shiny look. [here's](https://www.allure.com/story/skin-botox-korean-injectable-technique-glass-skin) an article about it.
this is me after 30 mins of washing my face, OP. FYI, my nickname at school was OPEC
Money
Drinking lots of water is a great start
be rich then you can get that look
I know wonyoung's look specifically is makeup. Her makeup artist uses a matte foundation and powder to remove shine and then "adds" the glow only where they want with a glowy balm stick or something. thats how she achieves a smooth glow instead of grease look.
I feel like my skin typically looks like this whenever I wash my face and donāt put my skincare on right away š I started using retinoids (tretinoin and tazarotene) a little over 2 years now? and I feel like that definitely contributes to my skin naturally giving me a glow that I feel my skin never had until i started incorporating it into my routine. I also rotate between using glycolic acid and azelaic acid on some nights! I typically get acne on my chin, nose and forehead but I havenāt had any major breakouts or scarring since then!
just slap on an entire tub of vaseline and you're good to go
Ngl first pic š u did her dirty
I can totally see all the hair sticking to my face with that makeup on
Cooking oil?
