{Beauty Tuesday} Get Glowing

Start with a clean face. If you use foundation, put it on prior to highlighting.

Of all the promises and paraphernalia being thrown at us by beauty companies these days, one of the most common phrases I see used is "lit-from-within." This term refers to a state in which the face and skin appear naturally bright, clean, and youthful. Now, I have met a few women with naturally flawless skin. I do my very best not to envy them, but it can be incredibly difficult. The vast majority of us have dealt with any number of skin catastrophes, but fortunately there are ways to adapt and overcome.

Dab a sheer luminizer underneath each eye.

Dot and blend a highlighter (I use Benefit High Beam) right atop the cheekbone...

...underneath and above the brow bone...

...and along the center of your nose.

Blend a tiny dot of cheek tint onto the apples of your cheeks.

Finish with a dusting of bronzer below the cheekbone and under the jaw line.

Happy highlighting!
