That omg glow

From ultra-matte to dripping in gloss, what’s ‘in’ for skin has been through many iterations. But it goes without saying that nailing the perfect canvas is the fundamental building block of a swoon-worthy makeup look. This season, skin looks hyper real (no heavy foundation here) with a seriously dewy glow. At FW19 shows like Christopher Kane and Marc Jacobs, minimal makeup and amped up skin care were used to create the light-reflecting shine that bounced off of models’ cheekbones. The key to getting a covetable complexion? Playing with textures, from facial oils to highlighting sticks and pots. Instead of going for all out sparkle, reach for prods that have more of a soft metallic finish and work in layers. A few dabs of a nourishing elixir from your skin care routine on the tops of cheekbones goes a long way in nailing that wet-look, while a shimmery highlighter on the inner corners of your eyes and Cupid’s Bow secures a lit-from-within glow. Just remember: don’t be afraid to turn it up and shine on.
