Gone are the days of heavily matte skin instead gorgeous, glowy skin is the ultimate focus and thanks to this trend (which is definitely here to stay) there are hundreds of products on the market that can give you gorgeous Victoria Secret skin in a heartbeat. Those with oily skin, don’t have to fret just yet, trust me, you can still rock the luminous look.
The Skincare: If your skin is super lackluster try a whole skincare line dedicated to giving you a healthy glow, otherwise a serum, which is designed to brighten your skin will suffice.
The Prep: Don’t use a moisturiser, instead just use a small amount of facial serum to prep your skin. Not only will makeup last longer, but your skin will also look fresher. Follow with an illuminating primer that will reflect light to set the perfect base for your makeup.
The Foundation: If you have oily skin and want to avoid looking greasy, then sticking with your matte foundation is a must. Mix a drop of liquid illuminator in with your foundation and then apply, the illuminator will reflect light making your skin look healthy, but not oily. Dry skinned gals will benefit from an illuminating foundation.
The Highlighter: A creamy illuminator patted onto the highest points of your face will give you ultimate structure and a gorgeous glow, plus it looks amazing on all skin types and tones.
The Powder: Powder can look cakey and unnatural so either ditch it altogether or keep it strictly on the t-zone (the forehead, nose and chin). If you can’t bear to ditch the powder; set your makeup with a radiance enhancing setting powder.
TIP: You also get major bonus glowy points for using liquid/cream based formulas of illuminators, blushes and bronzers, just make sure you don’t apply them on top of powder formulas or they will look muddy.
