Trust Me: These 5 Takes on Glowy Skin Are Too Good Not to Try

"A really great skincare routine reigns supreme for getting a true,

believable glow, so I always combine a little bit of vitamin C serum with a light-weight, oil-free moisturizer before I start in with my foundation. This one from Derma E is dreamy, and has both vitamin C, which brightens skin, and hyaluronic acid, which is a magnet for moisture. It makes skin feel and appear more hydrated, plump, and healthy. Next, I've been loving Physicians Formula Organic Wear Foundation for a little bit of coverage. It has a lightweight, serum-like consistency and is surprisingly buildable, depending on how much coverage you want. I'm also obsessed with Black Opal's Foundation Sticks. They're SO good, and the coverage is so seamless and easy to blend. In fact, I'm so obsessed with the formula, I've started using a darker shade as a contour/bronzer situation. It looks so much more natural and radiant than a powder.

"I'm pretty much over huge eye shadow palettes. I've been gravitating toward easy-to-use quads like this natural one from Antonym. I used the lightest matte shade all over my lid as a base, and then I worked the shimmering light pink and copper hues into my crease and outer corners. To finish, I swept a flat eyeliner brush through the matte-black shade for a flick of a cat eye. It's not as pigmented as it would be if I wet the brush or used a liquid liner, but I prefer it for daytime. I love RMS Beauty's Lip2Cheek creamy blush as a multitasking lip and cheek enhancer, and I definitely prefer it to powders when I want a lit-from-within glow. I just use my fingertips to dab and blend it onto the tops of my cheekbones. Last but not least, GLOSS! I never used to wear lip gloss, but it's all I've been wanting to apply since quarantine started. Lipstick just feels like too much right now, so a sparkling, pigmented gloss is just the ticket for a minimalist look that still adds a little pop of shine and color."
