How To Achieve A Glowy Makeup Look
The beauty industry has been my passion and job for years. I was adopted from India and have now worked on advocating for inclusion in the beauty Industry as a Digital Creator. I enjoy nothing more than beating my face, soaking my skin in a delicious face mask and telling my Instagram followers all about it.
The beauty of the soft, natural, glowy look is that it is easy to achieve and extremely versatile. Not only is this look incredibly comfortable, but it is perfect for someone who needs to take their look from day to night.
In this routine, Ruchi Page shows us how to make our look glisten, glow and stay all day with her best makeup tips and tricks.
Ruchi Recommends:
- If you’re using a shade that is too dark for you presently you can mix in a lighter concealer to even it out, or just highlight more of your face.
- Remember to take your foundation down your neck!
- Bring your concealer up onto your eyelids for it to act as an eye primer.
- Allow your concealer to set for 30 seconds before blending it in, for longevity.
- Apply powder lightly for a dewy outcome.
- If you get mascara on your eyeshadow - relax, let it dry and lightly remove it with a Q-tip.

How do I get glowy makeup to stay?
A great way to get your glowy makeup to stay all day is by starting with the right primer for your skin type. Of course, most skin types will benefit from a hydrating primer, but if you’re extra oily, or oily in certain areas, try mixing it up with something more mattifying.
Another great way to fix your makeup in place is with a setting powder. You can opt for a light translucent powder or one with a natural, luminous finish if you’re worried about losing that glow. If you have dry skin, try just setting under your eyes and across your T-zone.
Finally, perfect your base with a setting spray. Not only will a setting spray help to lock your makeup in, it also helps the makeup merge with the skin and revives a bit of that glow post-powder.
