From a dewy base subtle enough to give you I-woke-up-like-this" vibes to an awesome airbrushed finish (#NoFilter), we’ve cracked the code on natural-looking glowing-skin makeup.

How Do I Get Glowing Skin?

The glowing skin makeup look's all about that fresh-faced finish, with just enough light reflecting in all the right places. Ready to hone your inner glow? Go for our fantastic products to get you glowing all day, every day.

Body Lotion

From an awesome glowing skincare routine to the best dewy foundation and natural highlighters, it’s time to discover the products to give your makeup routine the glow-up of your dreams.

Clean Base = Glowing Face

Glowing skin starts with a good skincare routine, so show your skin some TLC before the glam. Start with a good cleanser to eliminate excess makeup, dirt and dead skin cells. We have lots you'll love, from Vitamin E-infused to cream cleansers to give you that brightening boost. Cleansers and toners are basically BFFs, so you can’t leave either one out. A gentle toner can go a long way in prepping the skin for a smooth, glowing makeup base: it works to shrink your pores.

Next: our super-important face moisturizers, probably the most essential hydrating skincare must-have. Lock in your skin’s natural moisture and prep up for a fresh makeup look. Pick one of our hydrating skin products, including essential ingredients from hyaluronic acid and retinol to the all-important SPF.

Get the Perfect Dewy Base

It’s all about that base when it comes to mastering the glowing skin look. So prime up that base and let your foundation know it ain’t goin' nowhere... Because our slick primers create an un-budgeable canvas for your makeup to stay in place throughout the day.

Cleanser

Find the best dewy foundation for a seamless glowy base with our wide variety of foundations. From dewy-look liquid picks to fuss-free foundation sticks, find a foundation in the shade and consistency that suits your skin. Remember: a little goes a long way when creating the perfect dewy makeup look. So apply a little product evenly over your whole face using a foundation brush or beauty blender

Primer

Time to enhance your natural beauty (and concealers are all about that life). Pick a concealer that’s one shade lighter than your foundation to create that luminous highlighted effect. Apply some under your eyes, right under your cheekbones, a little on your forehead and along the middle of your nose and blend, baby, blend....

Using a damp beauty blender will make sure you get the most out of the products, and it helps evenly blend foundation concealer for a seamlessly flawless finish.

Flushed Blush & Glowing Highlights

Shed some positive light on those cheekbones with a pick from our collection of highlighters. From subtle powder highlights to creamy natural highlighters, and liquid picks that work like literal drops of perfection, these babies will be like a halo for your face.

Blush

Wondering how to use highlighter? Our go-to glowing skin hack is easy: use a highlighter brush to apply it wherever you want popping selfie lighting. So think cheekbones, above your eyebrows, cupid's bow and a tiny bit on the tip of your nose, and you’re good to go.

 Time for a Juicy Lip Finish

Pucker up! No glowing natural makeup look's complete without the perfect natural lipstick and wet-look gloss. Start with a neutral lip liner to outline and enhance your pout. Next, pick one of our natural lipstick shades. How about classic nude? Or a classy lovely light brown?

Dewy Skin

Like some natural lip gloss to finish the look? From clear high-shine lip gloss to plumping picks for a perky pout, we have the perfect lip gloss to finish your glowing makeup look.

Lock it in With Setting Spray

Keep your glowing face in place all day long with the help of good setting spray. Just spritz the glowy mist all over your face after you’ve done your makeup, and trust that glow not to budge one bit.

Setting Spray

Don’t be fooled by the lightweight feel: these babies have your glow on lock – around the clock. Plus, they give instant hydration for dewy-looking skin.
