Techniques for Creating a Natural Summer Glowy Look
Want that sun-kissed, radiant look this summer? This guide is for anyone seeking a fresh, glowy finish without piling on layers of makeup.
The ritual, step by step
- Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a lightweight moisturiser with hydrating ingredients to create a smooth base, ensuring your skin is well-hydrated for that dewy look.
- Choose a Tinted Moisturiser Opt for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream instead of heavy foundation. This provides light coverage while allowing your natural skin texture to shine through, giving you that fresh, summer radiance.
- Add Cream Blush Apply a cream blush to the apples of your cheeks for a natural flush. Cream products blend seamlessly and mimic the skin's natural moisture, enhancing that glow.
- Highlight Strategically Use a cream or liquid highlighter on the high points of your face: cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. This catches the light beautifully and amplifies your summer glow.
- Finish with Setting Spray Complete your look with a hydrating setting spray. This not only sets your makeup but also adds an extra layer of dewiness, ensuring you look fresh all day.
Where people go wrong
Many people overdo foundation, which can mask your natural glow. Others forget to hydrate their skin beforehand, leading to a dull finish. Using powder products instead of creams can also take away from that dewy look.
