Summertime season is upon us and we’re all yearning to achieve that celebrity sun-kissed glow. It seems like models and celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Chanel and Dascha Polanco have it down packed and I found a way to get a similar effect for us girls at home whether you’re wearing makeup or not.
I’ve been curious about the Estée Edit for a while now, so when I was shopping in Sephora the other day and came across the Flash Illuminators my interest peaked. I’ve been really interested in brands who have been creating formulas that looks great in pictures with social media sites like Instagram in mind (I’ll be exploring this topic later in a future post) and picked it up in Night Light. This is a moisturizing formula that has hyaluronic acid in it that you can use one of two ways for this look: a strober or a primer. I decided to go for the latter to see it’s full effect, which worked really well under foundation.
How To Get The Look:
- Apply a thin layer of the Flash Illuminator onto your skin (They come in four shades and I would use one that is closest to your skin tone if you’re using it as a primer).
- Dab your liquid foundation over the illuminator with a damp beauty blender and set lightly with a powder.
I managed to get my hands on the Glossier Haloscope in Topaz a few days after it’s launch last week. As in I saw the announcement on Twitter, fell in love and ordered it immediately. What’s great about it is that it has sweet almond oil, coconut oil and castor seed oil, which makes this highlighter glide on smoothly and gives you a hydrated dewy finish. If you’re makeup is more on the minimal side (ie. light foundation, bb creams, tinted moisturizer) or you’re not wearing makeup at all then this one is for you.
How To Get The Look:
- Glide the stick onto your cheekbones to the brow bone and making a half halo shape. Then glide it down your t-zone and onto the middle of your chin.
- Gently rub it in.
I think we’ve known for a while now that coconut oil is the key to all of your life’s problems. Your hair is dry? Make a coconut oil mask. You need to take off your makeup? Coconut oil can get it off stat. You want whiter teeth? Mix it with baking soda for a DIY toothpaste. Well I’m here to tell you that coconut oil can also be used as a way to get that dewy glow without even applying any makeup to your skin!
How To Get the Look
- Put a tablespoon of coconut oil into a bowl.
- Lightly dab the tip of your finger into the oil.
- Rub it in onto your t-zone area, your cheekbones and the middle of your chin (Be sure to not use too much oil and really work it in to your skin to avoid a greasy look).
