How To Fake A Healthy Glow

How To Fake A Healthy Glow – Yep, it’s here! This is a post that a lot of you have been asking me about, it’s how to fake a healthy glow.

With summer on the way, I’ve selected a variety of products that are lightweight, natural and give your skin a beautiful, healthy – natural look.

How To Fake A Healthy Glow – Before Makeup

OK, so after cleansing your skin and before applying any makeup, I’d recommend using a lightweight facial oil like The Body Shop Vitamin E Oil.

I know it’s more of a night-time/before-bed product BUT this is great to use as a base – it’ll nourish your skin during the day (as you wear it) and due to the formula your skin will instantly have look healthier.

How To Fake A Healthy Glow – Makeup

I’ve picked a few products ranging from affordable to high-end as I feel these work best for me personally when I want to fake a healthy glow.

If there’s other products that you prefer then feel free to use them! 🙂

Starting with the Clarins True Radiance Foundation – it’s in the name really!  I love this foundation as the formula is really lightweight, gives your skin a lovely glow plus it has brightening properties which is perfect for the look you’re trying to achieve.

I normally apply it using the Nanshy Angled Brush but lately I’m also loving the B. Blending Sponge .

As this is quite a natural look, I’ll skip the bronzer but you can add some for extra depth if you wish.

On the apples of the cheeks (plumpest part when you smile) apply a cream blush – I love the Essence Cosmetics Soo Blush as it’s a cream-to-powder meaning it applies like a cream and dries into a powder……once it’s set – it’s set!

Highlighter is a must when it comes to faking a healthy glow – if you have perfect skin, I’d say use highlighter and mascara only!
The KIKO Highlighting Ball is a product that I didn’t think I’d like as much but this creamy highlighter blends along the cheekbone beautifully and again, sets like a powder and looks great all day long!

Followed by 2 coats of the Elizabeth Grand Entrance Mascara and like I always say, use black mascara – it’s so much better and defines your eyes instantly!

Finally a touch of the Revlon Colorbust Lip Stain – I apply a few dots and then using my ring finger blend/dab into skin for a ‘stained‘ look…..I also think it lasts longer this way too!
