1. Give your skin a good scrub (h/t Eman)
The steps to getting glowing, youthful and healthy skin starts before you put on your makeup. Make sure you exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. This removes dead skin cells and dullness, to give you fresh, smooth skin perfect for a flawless makeup application.
2. Apply a primer (h/t MakeupBySarahButler)
Whether you prefer a creme or spray primer, make sure you invest in a good one, particularly one with blurring properties. Primers will help hide imperfections and create a smooth canvas for your makeup application. They're essential to getting a nice glow from your makeup.
3. Mix your foundation with a liquid or pigment highlighter (h/t NikkieTutorials)
We honestly can't believe we didn't try this sooner. NikkieTutorials dropped a bombshell -- you can mix either liquid or pigment highlighters into your foundation to start your glow from the base layer up. While the effect is soft and dewy, it's the perfect way to build up gradual glow that seems to come from within.
4. Swipe shimmer on your lids for a dewy natural look (h/t Haley Kim)
When achieving glowing skin, make sure not to leave out your eyelids. Whether applying a full eye shadow application or just a swipe, make sure you include shimmering light tones to subtly highlight the eye region and give yourself a fresh, youthful appearance.
5. Contour the face and hide under-eye circles for a fresh look (h/t Tat Makeup)
The number one killer of glowy skin dreams? Dark circles under the eye. Use a strong, solid concealer to completely cover dark circles and give yourself a blank canvas to work with that looks fresh, wide-awake and ready to get your glow on.
6. Get a natural glow with a liquid illuminator (h/t Shelby Triglia)
We love powder highlighters as much as the next person, but you can't beat the glow-from-within look of a liquid illuminator. Rubbing a liquid illuminator into the high points of your face, like the crescent moon your cheekbones create around your eye region is the perfect way for your glow to look lit from in and completely natural.
