GLOWY MAKEUP ✨
The easiest way to get glowy makeup without using tons of products is skin prep!! I use hyaluronic acid, rhode glazing milk, eye cream (different ones I rotate), as well as a good thick moisturizer such as the rhode barrier butter. The saie glowy super gel is my favorite makeup product for these kinds of looks too since it is more like a skincare product and gives you the most insane glow. From there I spot conceal, add a tiny bit of blush and mascara, and that’s it! 🤍
Creating a truly glowy makeup look really starts with great skincare prep, which makes a huge difference without needing to pile on product. I’ve personally found that incorporating a combination of hydrating and brightening treatments creates a perfect canvas for radiant makeup. For example, consistently applying hyaluronic acid helps maintain deep hydration, plumping the skin for a fresh appearance. I rotate eye creams regularly, especially formulas that target dark circles and wrinkles infused with Vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and peptides, to brighten and smooth my under-eye area. Rhode's brightening and tightening eye cream has proven effective for this, and pairing it with their rich face concentrate and glazing milk keeps my skin feeling replenished and glowing. A rich moisturizer like Rhode Barrier Butter seals in moisture and acts like a protective barrier, essential for a luminous look that lasts all day. On top of this skincare base, a lightweight, gel-like product such as the Saie Glowy Super Gel is my go-to—it feels like skincare yet delivers an incredible natural glow that makeup alone can't replicate. From there, I keep my makeup minimal—spot concealing where needed to maintain an even tone, adding a subtle blush for a healthy flush, and just a coat of mascara to define my eyes. This approach not only enhances my natural features but also keeps the look effortless and fresh. For summer especially, this routine prevents heaviness and allows my skin to breathe while still shining beautifully. Additionally, layering products strategically can enhance the luminous effect without looking cakey. The key is using products with skincare benefits, such as those containing Vitamin C and peptides, which improve your skin’s texture and brightness over time, making your glow even more natural and lasting. I recommend experimenting with different combinations of these elements to find your ideal glow—whether you prefer a dewy finish or a radiant sheen.
