Is the "glass skin / lit from within" thing achievable or is it just filters and good lighting?

Every "lit from within" photo I save turns out to be ring light, a filter, or someone with genuinely great skin who'd look like that regardless.

I've spent hundreds of dollars chasing it. I tried many highlighters, and the closest I've gotten is a very subtle look. In person it's fine. In photos it's either invisible or I look sweaty.

So is this a real achievable look with products, or is it a photography thing we've all been sold? And if it IS achievable what did u guys use and what's your skin type?

What’s ONE Western product you replaced with a K-beauty/J-beauty alternative and will NEVER go back to?

I’ve been slowly switching my routine over to Asian beauty products for the past few months, and honestly my skin has never been happier. But I’m still holding onto a few pricey Western staples (like my moisturizer and sunscreen).

I really want to completely switch over, so I’d love to know: what was that ONE Western product for you that got completely replaced by an Asian beauty alternative? What made you switch?
