mist up

Get hazy, glassy

To mist up is to become clouded with fine water droplets, typically from condensation or tears.

Windows mist up in humid weather; glasses mist up when you come indoors from the cold.

Eyes that mist up are welling with tears: She misted up when she saw her daughter in the wedding dress.
