How To Achieve Glowing Skin
We're all about glowy, radiant skin here at VeryMakeupMad Towers. And we wouldn't be without a liquid highlighter or glow enhancer in our makeup arsenal. These shimmering products are so versatile and user friendly and lend themselves to being applied in multiple ways... to give you the luminous, dewy and youthful skin of your dreams!
Now, we're not talking full-on sparkle and shine here. These beauties create more of a soft-focus sheen, that makes your skin look amazing when you move your face in the light.
We love to mix a few drops of these wonder products into our daily moisturiser or sunscreen for a gorgeous, natural sheen. They also work beautifully mixed into a liquid foundation, to 'sheer it out' and make skin look flawless and bright. Then once you've applied your makeup, you can dab and swipe onto your high points, such as your cheekbones and browbones. We also love to tap onto the cupid's bow to emphasise the shape of the lips and make them appear fuller.
So here are our VMM top picks of glowy, shimmery liquids, gels and creams that we just can't get enough of:
Lixirskin Good Skin Shaker Super Dew - We like to think of this as a skin 'waker upper'! It gives your complexion an instant boost, and a shot of luminosity, locking in moisture, making skin feel instantly tighter and bouncy and reducing signs of fatigue. Apply over your moisturiser for a dewy glow, and you can also reapply over makeup during the day for an instant refresher.
111Skin Rose Gold Radiance Booster - This lightweight, delicately shimmering serum is infused with Rose Flower Water and 24K gold, to instantly brighten the skin...the luxury way! We love to add this to moisturiser to hydrate, soothe and nourish the skin, and leave it perfectly dewy all day long.
Dolce Gabanna Solar Glow Universal Illuminating Drops - This soft, petal-pink gel cream seems to suit all skin tones and instantly makes skin look luminous and flawless. It's totally lightweight and silky and has a delicate, coconut-y scent that reminds us of holidays and happiness!
ByTerry Brightening CC Serum - this illuminating primer works wonders on even the dullest, most tired complexions. It instantly brightens skin and gives a gorgeous glow, whilst evening out skin tone and blurring imperfections. We love to mix it with foundation, and the shade Sunny Flash is our 'best beauty friend' in the summer, when we wear it on its own to warm up the skin.
Erborian Glow Creme - we love to use this as a makeup primer. It's the perfect glowy base, that adds just the right amount of pearlescent sheen to the skin and gives a subtle allover glow. It's hydrating too and packed with skincare ingredients to keep skin looking its best.
Rodial Soft Focus Glow Beauty Drops - packed with squalene and glycerin to keep skin soft, smooth and hydrated, this shimmering serum instantly lights up the face and leaves skin looking radiant and luminous. It mixes brilliantly with moisturiser and skin feels plump and dewy all day long.
Juice Beauty Phyto Pigments Illuminating Primer - we love this cult organic and sustainable beauty brand, and this gorgeous primer contains coconut alkanes to nourish and hydrate the skin, whilst using blurring technology to make skin look flawless and lit from within. One to use on 'no makeup' days, to make your skin look gorgeous.
