The perfect glowing skin

How to create glowing skin
A guide to creating the fresh, air-brushed glow seen on celebrities in the glossy magazines and on the red carpets.

Step-by-step guide to glowing skin

Step 1
Apply your foundation as normal. Then, choose a blusher which is very close to your natural blush colour. To find out what your natural blush colour is, look in the mirror and pinch your cheeks without any make-up on, the colour which comes through will be your natural blush colour.

Step 2
Apply the blusher on a brush starting close into the nose and brushing down onto the cheek and then lifting gently up into the hairline to create a soft glow.

These areas are where you naturally blush so using the blusher here won't look like make-up, it'll just look like your natural colour coming through..

Step 3
Whatever you have left on the brush warm up the forehead, nose and chin to bring the colour together for a very natural, all-over glow.

Step 4
The next step is using the "shimmer brick". This gives the skin a lovely shimmer without looking too glittery or frosted. Swirl a big brush over the whole palette and use just above the blush you've already applied. This will catch the light and give an amazing air-brushed look to the skin.

Use the shimmer brick to highlight the brow bone and brush a little down the centre to finish off the look. This takes the face from a very natural finish to a glamorous glow.
