What Is Mochi Skin (And How Do I Get It?)

Mochi skin resembles the Japanese rice cake snack in the best way: According to Eugene He (skin care expert and founder of Ceramiracle), it's all about skin that is pillowy, supple, and milky with a dewy and translucent look.

"Mochi skin is seen as plump, juicy and hydrated," adds celebrity makeup artist Lisa Aharon. And "hydrated" is the clue that this isn't just a makeup trend. It's centered on good skin care — but makeup can lend a helping hand.

"Mochi skin can be achieved with just skin care alone but it does require a really healthy and naturally glowing complexion to begin with," says He. "Otherwise, it can be achieved with the help of a good primer and foundation."
