mist over
Become faintly obscured
To mist over is for a surface to become covered with a thin layer of condensation or moisture, obscuring clarity.
Windows mist over in cold weather; glasses mist over when you step into a warm room.
Eyes that mist over fill with tears, usually from emotion rather than grief: Her eyes misted over as she watched her daughter graduate.
