Glowy radiant skin


As I have very dry skin, it can often end up looking dull and dehydrated but recently I've found a few products which, when used together make my skin look glowy, dewy and radiant! The first step in my routine is the Soleil Tan de Chanel, this is a recent purchase but it's a product I've wanted to try for ages! I simply lightly swirl my Sephora Mineral Powder Brush into it and apply all over my face and down my neck, I think this is great if your foundation is slightly too dark for you, if you want to look like you've been on holiday or if you just want to look more radiant! Next I mix Nars Copacabana illuminator with Nars Sheer Glow foundation, Sheer Glow is a foundation that makes your skin look very healthy anyway but when I add the illuminator, it makes it look even more amazing! If I want more coverage then I sometimes skip mixing the illuminator in with my foundation and use it on my cheekbones instead. To set my makeup I use the Bourjois Java powder, this is similar to the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders, it just adds a lovely glow to the skin. On my cheekbones, I use my favourite highlighter, Mac Soft and Gentle. This is such a beautiful highlight and it works with so many different skin tones! These products together create the most beautiful base for my makeup and it's great if, like me; you have dry skin!

  4. Aah I visited the Nars counter for the first time today and she applied the radiant creamy concealer and sheer glow on me, very tempted to purchase the two of them as I love how radiant and healthy my skin looks! The price kills me though haha x

  6. I really want to try that Bourjois powder, I hate the matte finish on me (it makes me look dead with my dry skin) so the Bourjois powder sure will add a nice glow and let me set my makeup! x

  7. I'm a longtime fan of the Nars Sheer Glow foundation but I've never thought to mix it with an illuminator! Fab idea, think I'll have to try that xx
