There’s something about summer that makes us want to keep our beauty routines light, fresh, and effortless, especially when it comes to skin. If you’re craving that radiant, just-came-back-from-the-beach glow (without the sun damage), this easy three-step routine will get you there: blush, bronze, and glow. Here’s how to apply each one for your most naturally luminous skin.
Step 1: Fresh and Flushed
Start with blush to bring instant life to your complexion.
Smile and tap Lip & Cheek onto the apples of your cheeks, then blend upward toward your temples for a soft, lifted look.
Trend Tip: Try the “boyfriend blush” trend: apply it slightly lower on the cheeks and blend outward for a natural, just-got-back-from-a-walk look.
Step 2: Sunkissed Warmth
Next, bring warmth and subtle definition to your face with Bronzing Balm.
Sweep it onto the high points of your face where the sun would naturally hit: your cheekbones, forehead, jawline, and the bridge of your nose.
Trend Tip: Cream bronzers are everywhere this year for their easy blending. Use a stippling brush for a natural blend, or use your fingers for a skin-like finish.
Step 3: Shimmery Glow
Finish with a touch of Cream Highlighter to amplify your glow.
Dab it on the tops of your cheekbones, the tip of your nose, and the inner corners of your eyes to brighten and lift your features.
Trend Tip: Keep it luminous, not glittery. Highlighters with a soft shimmer are ideal for that lit-from-within look.
