Makeup Products I Can’t Live Without for Glowy Skin!

It has been quite awhile since I last shared a makeup products review! I wanted to share now because I’ve really switched up what I’m using lately. As we head into the warmer months, I like light makeup. Something not too heavy but natural and glowy.

For awhile now I haven’t been wearing much makeup. I feel like that was partly because of the pandemic but I really have come back to it. I wanted to get and try out some new products as I get back into makeup. I love watching videos and reading posts on makeup product recommendations so I hope you do too!

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation- Shop Here

I actually purchased this new foundation on a whim when it came out. I was hoping it was similar to the It Cosmetics CC cream but it’s actually so much better. Because it has they hyaluronic acid in it already, it keeps your skin hydrated and glowy. I really love this stuff, I just wish I had gotten a slightly darker shade so I can wear it all summer!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer- Shop Here

I’ve had my eye on this concealer for awhile now and I finally went for it. I absolutely love it under my eyes and to cover blemishes. It seriously is great and long lasting. Lately, I’ve just been wearing a little concealer and calling it a day. I know as it gets warmer I’ll definitely be skipping foundation all together so this will be perfect.

Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek Stick- Shop Here

I love this blush!! It is so creamy and easy to use. It’s easy to blend and sits so nicely on the skin. This is actually my first Milk product and I am super interested in getting their bronzer version. I think the key to glowy skin is cream products that will really melt into your skin.

Beauty Counter Think Big Mascara- Shop Here

I was gifted this Beauty Counter mascara for Christmas but it easily has become a staple product for me. First of all, it’s a clean makeup product but it actually works well. It doesn’t clump but helps make my eyelashes super long and big. If you get anything from these products, this is what I would say you have to get!

Laura Mercier Translucent Powder- Shop Here

I know I’m late to the game on this powder but I love it. The Laura Mercier translucent powder is perfect to put in the areas that you don’t want to get super oily. I love a glowy look that’s not too greasy so this helps to counteract my oily skin throughout the day and keep my makeup in place.

As you can tell from my last glowy makeup routine post here, I really have switched it up! I honestly like wearing just a little concealer and some color on my cheeks. I’ve been patiently waiting to see if I can get my hands on the contour wand by Charlotte Tilbury but it’s so hard, let me know if you’ve tried it out!

I hope you get some inspiration from these makeup products! If you’re interested in trying them check out my affiliate links! Also be sure to subscribe here to the blog so you never miss a post!

My Favorite Glowy Face Makeup Products

We all are after that summer glow and today I am sharing some of my favorite products to achieve it. These glowly makeup products are my go to for summer when I want some coverage and a nice glow. If you know me, I rarely wear heavy makeup but the way this brand makes my skin look is like no other!

glowy makeup products

Step 1: Skin Care

The most important step is skin care because it will really enhance your glowy makeup products. I recently shared my skin care routine here, so be sure to check that out to find out how I prep my skin for products.

Step 2: Foundation

I almost never use a makeup primer so if that is important to you, definitely add that before you jump into this step. My go to foundation lately has been the Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation. This is honestly the perfect coverage for me. It is definitely buildable so you can start out light and then go as heavy as you need. I love how this makes my skin look. It is even and has a nice, subtle glow.

Step 3: Concealer

I don’t go far without my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer. This literally has been my go to for years and I just don’t think I would stop. It conceals and brightens to give you the most flawless look. I even wear just this sometimes when I’m going for that no makeup, makeup look.

Step 4: Bronzer

I’m a huge Hula Bronzer girl. I feel like bronzer can sometimes be tough because some bronzers have an ash tone and others are a bit warmer. For me, this is the perfect shade for summer and even year round. I also like a powder bronzer because I feel like it’s lighter on my skin and doesn’t sweat off!

Step 5: Highlighter

Run don’t walk to get this Rare Beauty Liquid Highlighter. I have mine in the color enlighten and omg it is amazing. This gives me the most perfect glow wherever I put it. I love this product because you can put a little or a lot, it is buildable and gives you room to get the glow you want. This product is the key to my summer glowy makeup look.

Step 6: Blush

This is another one from Rare Beauty. Their soft pinch liquid blush made me like blush. I have it in the color joy and am seriously obsessed. I was one to just skip over blush but this changed my life and my glowy makeup routine. This product is everything and more for me. I love how it pairs so well on the check with my highlight and bronzer.

Obviously I do sometimes go in with a lip gloss and use my bronzer in my eye creases for color. I like to keep it very minimal in the summer because sometimes I just can’t handle things on my face.

Hopefully you got some summer glowy makeup products inspo from this post and want to try out some new products! I am always interested in hearing some product recommendations so leave some for me in the comments below!

Fall Foundations I Can’t Live Without

fall foundations

Something I rarely talk about here on the blog is makeup. I definitely don’t wear it that often but I find myself in the winter putting it on more often. I self-tan a lot over the winter and I also just feel like no matter what you do, your skin is just duller in the winter. Although I am wearing foundation, I make sure it’s still clean and not too heavy. There is literally nothing I hate more then a thick and cakey foundation that you’ll wear on your skin all day. Most of my favorite foundations are actually CC creams or tinted moisturizers because they provide coverage but they’re not too heavy. Choosing your fall foundations might be hard but it’s so important to set your skin up for success in the winter.

It Cosmetics CC Cream

This seriously is my go to winter foundation. It helps to keep my skin moisturized in the winter months and gives me some coverage to help with the dullness in my skin. Buyers beware though, the shade range is very little. I wear Light but honestly it only looks great when I’m self tanned. I like to apply this with a beauty blender because I feel like it helps to blend it out much easier.

Tarte Amazonian Clay

Don’t be afraid of this foundations because it may look like full coverage. I find that if I use a little bit, it not only covers but its also not cakey at all. This foundation is seriously one of my favorites of all time because it’s create in the summer and winter. It’s super moisturizing for those winter months which is something that I really like to have. If I’m using it in the summer, I just apply extra setting powder and I know I’m good for the day. Highly suggest trying this one out and this has a much wider shade range. I also like to apply this with a beauty blender.

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

Bare Minerals is definitely stepping up their game and coming into modern times. I used to use Bare when I was in middle school and needed something for my sensitive skin. Now I like Bare minerals because of how light coverage this foundation is. I really think that this is merely a tinted moisturizer but it is so great. It’s not heavy on my skin at all and it feels like its barely there. This product is also awesome because it comes in a gel formula and also a face stick. Seriously an amazing product and definitely a go to for a fall foundations.

As you can tell, my reoccuring theme is that I do not like heavy coverage foundations. If I’m going to wear makeup, I want something that’s barely there and these are definitely my top three. Fall foundations are so important because as the air gets cooler, your skin starts to need more moisture. By choosing a lighter, more moisturizing fall foundation, you’re sure to keep your skin happy and healthy all winter long!
