The glazed eyeshadow technique involves adding a translucent layer of pigment on top of eyeshadow to create a shiny, glazed effect.
The beauty industry keeps evolving and new makeup trends emerge from time to time. One trend that has been gaining popularity recently is the glazed eyeshadow look. After a year of minimalism and no-makeup looks, many people are now embracing the idea of adding a little eyeshadow and lipstick to their routine when seeing friends. The “glazed” trend is perfect for those looking to achieve a polished look without spending an hour-plus primping.
Hailey Bieber popularized the trend with her glazed nails, which featured a pale pink base with a light iridescent finish. With almost every popular nail look receiving the glazed effect, including ombre, aura, and French manicures, the trend has now moved on to glazed eyeshadow. This summer, the latest makeup trend is all about the high-shine, reflective finish of glazed eyeshadow.
Glazed eyeshadow is a technique that involves adding a glossy finish to your eyeshadow. You can achieve this look by using a clear lip gloss or a specialized eyeshadow topper. The result is a high-shine, reflective finish that adds a unique touch to any eyeshadow look.
The chrome-inspired makeup trend is different from shimmery or metallic eyeshadow. Instead of glitter flecks, it has a wet-looking shine that sets it apart. This gleaming finish is similar to the dewy glow you get from layering super-hydrating serums on your skin.
Celebrities, including Hailey Bieber and Hailee Steinfeld, have already given the trend their stamp of approval. Steinfeld rocked a lavender version that matched her dress, and her makeup artist, Ash K Holm, loves the “luminous and dreamy effect” it gives. According to Holm, the look catches the light beautifully and adds a luxurious yet playful element to makeup.

Once you have a perfect canvas, sweep on a light shimmery shade of eyeshadow all over the lid. Use a good blending brush to achieve a seamless blend of gleaming shadows across the lid. You can use a matte eyeshadow to set the glazed finish, which will help to keep it in place throughout the day.
This look is meant to be wearable even on the most average of days, and we recommend keeping the colors subtle and soft. Pastel tones like lilac, peach, or mint green are perfect for summer, but you can use other colors too. To achieve the wet finish, you can apply your eyeshadow with a damp brush, use a sheer highlighter stick, or add a glossy top coat over your finished eyeshadow.
Glazed eyeshadow can be achieved with any color or shade of eyeshadow, making it a versatile makeup technique.
In a nutshell, the “glazed” trend is a great way to add a new element to your makeup routine, and it’s easy to achieve with any color or shade of eyeshadow. You should give it a try and see if it becomes your new favorite makeup trend.
