... Read moreOkay, so you've seen my go-to glam routine, but let's dive even deeper into making that look truly unforgettable, especially for those nights out or special events! I’ve learned so many tricks over the years, and I’m spilling them all.
First up, let's talk about those highlighted cheekbones – because who doesn't want to glow from across the room? While my original steps mention applying highlight, I’ve found that the type of highlighter can make all the difference. For true glam, I lean towards liquid or cream highlighters under my setting powder for a seamless, lit-from-within look, then a touch of powder highlighter on top for that extra pop. My secret for a super snatched look? I always apply a tiny bit of highlighter right on the highest point of my cheekbones, blending it upwards towards my temples, and yes, a little on the bridge of my nose and cupid's bow really completes the effect. If you're new to this, start with a subtle shimmer and build up! It completely transforms the face and makes you look so radiant.
Next, let’s get into the charm of peach blush glam makeup. There’s something so fresh yet sophisticated about a peachy flush that just works for a glam look. It’s less intense than a bright pink but still adds a warm, youthful glow. When I'm going for full glam, I don't just dab a little on; I really build it up, blending it from the apples of my cheeks upwards towards my bronzer and highlighter. This creates a beautifully sculpted effect. I usually choose a blush with a slight shimmer or a satin finish to complement the highlighted cheekbones. Don't be afraid to experiment with different peach tones – from soft apricot to deeper coral – to see what brightens your complexion the most!
And for the perfect finishing touch, let's talk about achieving that chic, effortless lip combo, especially if you're aiming for a look inspired by the classicallylaurensky nude aesthetic. A nude lip doesn't have to be boring, especially not in a glam context! I love using a gel lip liner in a shade slightly deeper than my natural lip color to define and slightly overline for a fuller pout. Then, I fill in with a creamy nude lipstick or a hydrating lip gloss that has a hint of peach or rose to it. The key is finding a nude that doesn't wash you out but rather enhances your natural lip tone. My absolute favorite trick for making any lip combo last through a long night is to blot after the first layer, then reapply. For extra long wear, I might even dust a tiny bit of translucent setting powder over the blotted liner before applying gloss. This ensures your lip combo stays flawless, even after a few drinks or conversations.
Finally, to tie it all together and ensure your glam makeup lasts all night, don't underestimate the power of a good setting routine. After perfecting my base with a tinted serum and sculpting with contour and bronzer, I always use a generous amount of setting spray. My tip? Layer it! A spritz before powder, and another after, especially if you're using a hydrating mist. This really melts all the products into your skin for a seamless finish that looks more skin-like and less 'made up.' Getting ready for a night of dancing or a special event? These extra steps make all the difference in keeping your glam look perfect from dusk till dawn!
Love seeing your face😍
