Having skin that glows is the proverbial holy grail of the beauty industry. We all want it for different reasons, but mostly because glowing skin radiates youth and health, and let’s be honest, we all want that. Unfortunately, getting skin that glows, like my dear friend, J-Lo (she doesn’t know we are friends yet), can be an uphill battle. Being proactive by using the best skincare and cosmetics is an essential.
If you want skin that glows for fall, here are my top 8 glowing skin beauty essentials that will definitely give you the glow your skin is craving.
Skincare for Glowing Skin
You can use all of the cosmetics you want for glowing skin, but it’s the condition of your skin that really matters. In order to have skin that everyone else wants, you need to be taking care of it.
(Stepping on my soap box)
Seriously, take care of your skin first. It’s the largest organ you have and the only skin you will ever have. In my opinion, using amazing skincare product is a far better financial investment than the latest purse trend.
(Stepping down now)
Here are a few skincare products for glowing skin that have worked really well for me. These are general picks, so for the most part, they should be pretty good for all skin types.
Korres Wild Rose Face and Eye Serum: This Vitamin C packed face and eye serum from Korres will be your skin’s new best friend. If your skin is dull, using this will not only help brighten the skin, but will help with the overall texture and clarity, as well.
Glam Glow Mask: This skincare mask has become one of the most popular skincare masks of all time because it actually works.
Clarisonic: What I love about Clarisonic is the deep pore cleaning it gives. By doing this, it not only promotes the overall health of your skin, but it makes your pores look smaller.
Koh Gen Do Cleansing Water: This is one of the best cleansers and makeup removers out there because it replenishes your skin while it cleanses. I personally use this on all of my makeup clients because it cleanses so well, yet is gentle and leaves the skin radiant and fresh.
In addition to good skincare, having good cosmetics and makeup application tools is a must for glowing skin. Here are some cosmetics and makeup tools that have not only helped me get my glow, but helped my clients, as well.
Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation: If you want radiant skin, using the Koh Gen Do Moisture foundation will give it to you. This paraben-free, high-definition foundation is formulated with 60% water, 30% highly refined oils, and 10% powder for all-day glowing skin.
Beauty Blender: Having foundation that sits on top of the skin is a sure way to not get glowing skin. By using the beauty blender, you can press your foundation into the skin for a flawless face.
NARS palette: This fresh new palette from NARS is perfect for getting skin that glows. It’s not only in a compact case that is perfect for on-the-go touch ups, but it also has a highlighter, blush, and a bronzer!
NARS Kabuki brush: Once again, using the correct tools for application is key and that’s why I am showing you this makeup brush. It has a dome shape to it, which is perfect for highlighting above the cheekbone and for contouring as well.
