HOW TO GET GLOWY SKIN WITH MAKEUP
You guys know how much I love makeup. It completely transforms your look within a few minutes. There are sometimes when my skin looks dull despite of having a good skincare regimen. And that’s when Makeup comes to the rescue! Who doesn’t love a healthy and glowy skin that shines naturally? To make your skin glow in no time, here is a technique that will help you get that instant glowy skin within minutes!
STEP 1: PREP YOUR FACE WITH A GLOW ENHANCING PRIMER
Primer is the key to lasting your makeup. Opt for a hydrating or radiance primer or a strobe cream underneath your foundation to achieve a dewy finish (make sure to apply the primer after moisturizer). Take a small amount of the product and apply it from the center of your face towards the outer areas. Let the primer sit on your face for at least 30 seconds before starting with the makeup. A good primer will help in locking the moisturizer and will act as a barrier between your skin and makeup. It prevents creasing and budging of the makeup.
STEP 2: MIX THE FOUNDATION WITH A LIQUID HIGHLIGHTER
Mixing the foundation with a liquid highlighter is the easiest way to achieve a glowy skin. Of course there are some luminous foundation that will help you to achieve a glowy skin but believe me that’s not going to give you the exact results as it dries out once it sets. So, simply take your any foundation and mix one to two pumps of liquid highlighter and Voila! the glowy skin that want.
STEP 3: APPLY LUMINOUS FINISHING POWDER
While the translucent powder sets your makeup, finishing powder gives you the perfect red carpet ready look. I love the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder which creates the perfect illumination for the face without being heavy and powdery. It gives the most flattering light.
STEP 4: BRONZER, BLUSH AND HIGHLIGHTER
Of course, you want to add some color on your face. You don’t want to look like a ghost, don’t you? Apply a radiant bronzer and then some blush and finish off with a highlighter. Also, lightly apply the highlighter onto your shoulders and collarbones. You want to get the glow on the body as well!
STEP 5: SPRITZ YOUR FACE WITH A FACE MIST
Face mist takes away the powdery look from your face and also locks in the makeup. You can also apply face mist in between makeup (after foundation, after setting powder, before applying foundation). Here’s a tip: At the end of your makeup routine apply a long lasting setting spray 1st and then finish off with a hydrating mist. I always do this to make sure my makeup lasts long while looking healthy and dewy. Mac fix+ is my go to mist to spritz over my face as a last step. You need this! I also love Caudalie Exilir and it smells amazing.
Now you are ready for the perfect glowy skin!
