Cloud Skin Is Still In — Here Are The 5 Products You Need

Many viral skin trends can feel unworkable for the average person. Take glazed donut skin, for example. Never have we looked in the mirror and thought our skin resembled anything close to the classic pastry. And if it did? We’d be reaching for the blotting papers faster than you could say oil spill. But when cloud skin came onto the scene, we knew it’d have staying power.

Cloud skin draws inspiration from, you know, actual clouds: dynamic, multi-dimensional, soft, fluffy, and lit from within. All the things our skin is on its healthiest days. Because like clouds, skin looks best when it’s got the right amount of moisture and environmental conditions are stable. To achieve a cumulus-like texture, you want to first prep skin with a lightweight hydrator that leaves you with a plump, smooth base. Then it’s about striking the perfect balance between matte and luminous, by layering velvety creams, sheer liquids, and ultra-fine finishing powders that blur imperfections and leave your complexion in dreamy soft-focus.

Scroll on for the e.l.f. essentials that will lift your skin into heavenly territory.
