So you cyber stalk Rosie-Huntington Whiteley, Miranda Kerr, and Candice Swanepoel on a daily basis, wondering how in the hell they always look like a bloody walking candle 24/7?
Fear not fellow matte-faced friends, I have some tips on how to get that Victoria's Secret glow that you can wear all year round ☀
TIP ONE MOISTURISE
The most important tip for that radiance you want! MOISTURISE your face ALL THE TIME, under everything you put on your face! And no whining oily faced people, this includes you too! No matter how late you did tequila shots to last night, if your face could easily supply the oil for a bbq, or how much of a rush you are in, this always comes first! If you have oily skin and don't moisturise, your subcutaneous glands within your skin will produce more oil to compensate for a lack of hydration..
= more oil buildup
= more clogging of pores
= more breakouts urrghh!
One i've been using for years because I simply haven't found anything as good is the LOREAL YOUTH CODE LUMINOSITY DAY CREAM . It would be best to get a moisturiser that claims luminosity, because like this holy grail product, It has light infusing particles that evens out your skin tone more more luminous, youthful skin!
TIP TWO HIGHLIGHT
A touch of highlight really is the icing on the cake for a glowing radiant complexion, however you should use one that doesn't make you look like a disco ball during the day for a more natural look (like the ones swatches) and save the more intense ones for when you go out and know you're getting in photos. Now I have a ridiculous amount of highlighters, but I've done my research, and chosen the ones that doubled as a bronzing affect relative to the Victoria's secret golden glow theme of this blog post.
EXTRA TIP: apply sparingly to tops of cheek bones, travelling up around your eyes to your temples, a tiny bit on the higher portions of your temples (getting more into the forehead), the bridge of your nose, and under the brow on the brow bones so your face can catch the light in all the right places!
Such a pretty highlighter. Comes with a brush applicator, but personally I wipe a small amount on the back of my hand and apply with a regular foundation brush for a more even effect. Bronze, liquid, smooth consistency with a natural finish if applied lightly!
So I uhhh LOVE this product! Never caught onto the hype of it until recently when I purchased in in the colour OPAL... a bronze, sheer, natural glow that makes you look 150% natural, more of a sheen on the cheekbones for a HEALTHY GLOW.
When I purchased this from Lush I was so hesitant because it looks so scary to apply because it is super pigmented and dark. However I have grown to love this little gem, but you have to be very careful to when applying, don't experiment before a night out, have a play around with it at home first. It is a creamy, almost burnt orangy colour with beautiful gold shimmer within it, that when blended properly into the skin created a golden, tanned, shine. I like to mix it in with my foundation (after i've applied foundation without it) and apply it to the tops of my cheek bones, the bridge of my nose and temples for a tan that makes me look like i've been in Bora Bora with the Kardashians for 3 weeks.
So i'm a sucker for cream stick products, be it blush, highlighter, or bronzer. Thankfully NYX brought out two that combines both a highlighter and a bronzing effect in one easy stick applicator. You get so much product too, a great bang for your buck! It's creamy and a little harder to apply than the liquid bronze highlighters above, however it leaves a natural sheen that is worth the tiny bit of extra time :) Today i've swatched 2 colours - "bronzy lambada" which is the darker of the two for a more tanned sheen, and "tango and highlight" which gives the most natural sheen out of all the above highlighter for an effortless glow during the day.
