Popularised by K-pop stars like the girls of Aespa and Jang Won-Young of IVE, glass skin once captivated the beauty world. But in 2025, there’s a new sheriff in town: blurred skin. We’re talking soft glows and seamless, near-perfect complexions.
Compared to its high-shine counterpart, blurred skin is characterised by its natural sheen and healthy cloud-matte finish on the skin. And don’t just take it from us. For one, former GRAZIA Singapore cover girl Rebecca Patricia Armstrong (aka Becky) has been a strong advocate for this soft matte look for months now, championing the trend at all her recent events. Other Thai celebrities like Freen Sarocha, and other former GRAZIA Singapore cover stars Tu Tontawan and Namtan Tipnaree have also been sporting similar looks both on- and off-duty.
Ahead, discover how you can achieve—and perfect—the blurred skin makeup trend loved by these Thai celebrities.
Rebecca Patricia Armstrong
For Becky, blurred skin is not merely a trend—it’s a crucial part of her signature look. More than glossy foundation, Becky favours the clean, timeless beauty of a matte finish. Her take on blurred skin makeup is seamless and distinctly matte, which can be achieved by prepping the skin with a mattifying primer. This helps to minimise the appearance of large pores, and ensures your foundation can stay matte for even longer.
For more dimension, Becky adds a pop of pink blush to her complexion. You can achieve the same full-matte look with a soft mousse or powder blush right under the eyes for a more youthful take.
Freen Sarocha
Compared to Becky, Freen Sarocha’s take on this trend is far more glowy. The Thai actress’s typical makeup usually features a natural glow-from-within type of look that’s best achieved with a lightweight cushion foundation. When working with a high-coverage cushion foundation, it’s imperative to keep the layers thin—especially around the nose—for a more flawless finish.
Freen likes to pair her blurred skin base with soft, glossy lips. This is a great way to reintroduce some highlight into your look when tackling this trend. The skin sets the stage for the lips to do the talking.
Tu Tontawan
As for Tu Tontawan, the Thai star embraces the blurred skin trend with a more youthful twist. When attempting a matte base, it’s easy to take things too far. Overtly matte complexions sometimes appear more mature, since the dryness can highlight fine lines and blemishes in the skin. To combat this, opt for a soft-matte foundation product and use a restrained hand when powder-setting your makeup.
Like Tontawan, you can also keep your lips and brows full for a more sprightly look. Brush the hairs upwards to mimic the look of bushier, feathery brows, and lock it all in with a tinted brow gel.
Namtan Tipnaree
Namtan Tipnaree doesn’t shy away from bold makeup looks—she more often than not dons a smoky eye with deep earth tones to intensify her smoulder. And if you’re anything like the Thai actress, the blurred skin makeup trend just might be the thing to transform your looks from everyday chic to red carpet-ready glamour.
With a clean—almost airbrushed—base, dramatic eye looks can take centre stage, without muddying your entire look. Keep the face clear of unwanted blemishes and odd discolouration with a creamy balm concealer, so the pigment stands out even more. Très chic, no?
