Blurred, back-lit skin will replace our obsession with glow—here are the best products for a velvety complexion

Two models with blurred skin and wavy hair backstage at fashion week.

I’m not about following trends for trends' sake, but when it became clear from the spring/summer 25 catwalks that glowy skin was “out” and velvety, blurred skin was in, I was immediately on board. Why? Well, as a beauty editor with oily skin, our collective obsession with mega-watt shine over the last few years has been pretty hard to duplicate.

Trust me, I already have plenty of natural shine and trying to amp up the dewiness means that most of my make-up has disappeared from my face by lunchtime. However, this spring we’re set to see a more dialled-down complexion reign supreme. Soft focus, blurred, yet still utterly radiant, this approach to skin proves that you can still look healthy and bright without having to recreate the shine of a disco ball.
