Why this worksThe secret to a spring glow lies in lightweight products that reflect light and enhance your skin's natural texture. Using sheer formulas allows your skin to breathe while providing a fresh, dewy finish. By focusing on hydration and subtle colour, you achieve a radiant look that feels effortless.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a lightweight moisturiser to hydrate your skin. Follow up with a glowy primer to create a luminous base that reflects light.
  2. Apply Sheer Foundation Use a tinted moisturiser or a light foundation to even out your skin tone without masking your natural texture. Apply with your fingers or a damp sponge for a seamless finish.
  3. Add a Cream Blush Choose a cream blush in a soft, fresh colour to add a healthy flush to your cheeks. Dab it onto the apples of your cheeks and blend well for a natural look.
  4. Highlight Strategically Apply a liquid or cream highlighter to the high points of your face, like your cheekbones and brow bones. This catches the light beautifully and enhances your glow.
  5. Finish with a Setting Spray To keep your makeup in place and boost the glow, finish with a hydrating setting spray. This will lock in your look while adding extra moisture.

Where people go wrong

Many people overdo it with heavy foundations that mask their skin instead of enhancing it. Others forget to prep their skin properly, leading to uneven application. Using too much highlighter can also make the look less natural, so go easy on it.

The pro moveFor an extra glow, mix a drop of liquid highlighter into your moisturiser or foundation for a seamless, radiant finish.
