Glass skin. One such poster was Ellie Choi, a Los Angeles-based makeup artist, whose routine for “glass skin” received 20,000 likes and numerous reposts on Twitter and Instagram. If it were, the glass trend would be popular only with the middle aged, but it’s most popular with millennials. It is precisely because we now see different body shapes and colours in advertising and media that glass skin has become so aspirational. Glass skin is not simply the erasure of ordinary faces, or the desire to look youthful.
