Beauty Glossy Makeup Step by Step

Having a “healthy glow” is a common goal. Even if your skin isn’t perfect, it’s possible to achieve a healthy glow using makeup. A healthful lifestyle and good skincare regimen will also go a long way in helping you achieve beautiful, glowing skin.

- Choosing the Right Materials

Know your skin. Exactly what you’ll need to achieve a healthy glow will depend on the quality of your skin:

Pay attention to what you look like when you’re flushed. Knowing the natural colors of your skin when it’s flushed (i.e. red/pink) will help you choose which blushes and lip colors to use for a natural glow.

- Creating Glowing Skin

Start with a freshly washed and moisturized face. After washing your face with a gentle cleanser and patting it dry, apply a moisturizer. The moisturizer will create a smooth base that will help your makeup stay on.

Prime your skin (optional). Once your moisturizer dries, apply a very light layer of primer to your face. With your fingers, add a few dabs of primer to the centre of your face (nose, forehead, chin) and then work your way out.

Apply foundation on to your skin. Foundation will help even out your skin’s tone and texture. Using a makeup sponge, dab some foundation on your nose and chin, then blend it outward.

- Highlighting Your Cheeks, Eyes, and Lips

Apply blush. To give your skin a natural flushed look, you can apply blush on top of the translucent powder. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks, drawing the brush upwards towards your hairline.

Apply a creamy, neutral eyeshadow. Pinks, golds, and plums are great shades for highlighting your eyes and keeping them looking fairly natural.

Apply eyeliner. You can keep it pretty natural or very dramatic depending on which eyeliner you choose, and how you apply it.
