Scrolling on TikTok one day, I came across the Joah Beauty Crystal Glow Peptide-Infused Foundation ($16). Inspired by the Korean beauty trend glass skin, the formula boasted the ability to make your skin flawless, glowy, and hydrated. Once I discovered that it's also infused with skin care, I knew I had to try it out myself. The lightweight product is packed with good-for-you ingredients, including plumping collagen, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and nourishing peptides.

When it comes to makeup, I gravitate toward a natural look, so this glowy formula sounded perfect for me. As soon as I applied it, my skin felt soft and dewy — it made me forget I was even wearing it. Ahead, I share more about why I love the Joah Beauty Crystal Glow Peptide-Infused Foundation and how to use it.

What I Like About the Joah Beauty Crystal Glow Peptide-Infused Foundation

This Joah Beauty foundation gave my skin a natural-looking glow immediately after applying it. It looks and feels like I'm not wearing anything on my skin at all. The foundations I have used in the past have made my skin feel dry after an extended period of time, but this one has the opposite effect. Throughout the day, it continues to feel hydrating thanks to a blend of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. Now that I discovered this formula, I could never go back.

How to Use the Joah Beauty Crystal Glow Peptide-Infused Foundation

First, you need to shake the foundation bottle to ensure it's mixed. The brand recommends "for lighter coverage, use a dampened sponge or your fingers," and "for full coverage, stipple with a foundation brush."

After I wash my face, I like to apply moisturizer to my skin before putting on foundation. I use a lightweight moisturizing lotion and let it soak into my skin before applying anything else. Then, I blend in the Joah Beauty Crystal Glow Peptide-Infused Foundation by dabbing the foundation onto my skin with a sponge. When I feel like I need a bit more coverage, I used my fingers to apply it.

What to Consider Before Trying the Joah Beauty Crystal Glow Peptide-Infused Foundation

This is a medium-coverage foundation, so if you're trying to achieve a full-coverage base, be sure to apply more than one layer. I found that letting the foundation sit to dry slightly gave me heavier coverage than if I blended it right away.
