Glow Up With Me | Easy Glowy Makeup Routine

If you need a confidence boost and you love glowy, effortless, long-wearing makeup, this is the video for you. I've been wearing this makeup look when I want my skin to look glowy, juicy, and perfect. It doesn't take very long to do and it's actually really easy and you get a total glow up. You'll feel so good and this makeup looks good on everyone. So let's get right into it. In my opinion, one of the most crucial and underrated steps of a glow up routine is definitely the skin. I've really been into beauty and skin tech lately, which has led me to a bit of an obsession with LED light therapy. And I've been loving this mask by Current Body. This is their Series 2 face mask and this specific mask uses red light therapy. This is going to make your skin look younger and healthier over time. It's going to help with things like fine lines, dullness, uneven texture, loss of firmness, because it supports your skin's natural cauldron production. And what makes this mask different from a lot of other LED light masks is it actually uses more advanced light technology that can actually reach deeper into the skin instead of just sitting on the surface. At least for me, I don't just want a temporary glow. If I'm going to invest in skincare like this, I really want long lasting results. And I've definitely noticed that with using this consistently. So the mask itself is actually made from really soft silicone. So it fits really closely to the face. This is going to help the light hit the skin more evenly, especially in areas around the jaw and the chin where a lot of other masks actually miss. So I'm glad it has this. Once it's on, all you have to do is just press the on button. Super easy and simple. It is non-invasive, totally painless, and it literally only just takes 10 minutes a day. You can wear it while you're answering emails, cleaning, watching TV, whatever. So one thing about me is that invasive beauty treatments actually freak me out so bad. So that's why I actually love to use stuff like this instead. And for me, what really got me was the clinical testing on this one. So people actually did see improvement in wrinkles, skin firmness, and brightness after using it consistently for only eight weeks. For me, I've definitely seen results in fine lines and wrinkles, but I've also seen that my skin just generally looks more glowy and more even. I'm going to link this one down below if you guys want to check it out. Oh my goodness, you guys, I got like three quarters away through filming this tutorial and realized my mic wasn't turned on. So now I have to reshoot the whole thing. Anyways, so after I do my light therapy, I do like to go in with my skincare. And I've been on Korean skincare lately. It just hits so different. I've been using this Inua PDRN and Hyaluron serum. It is just so glowy, so juicy, so luscious. Let me show you. This is very liquidy, so I do kind of like slowly drip it onto my skin. I use the whole dropper because I'm pretty sure this is like a pre-dosed amount. So like they put the perfect amount in the dropper for you. This absorbs into the skin very quickly because it is so thin, which I do really like. I want my daily skincare to absorb really quickly so I don't have to wait so long before I put my makeup on. And I find this just like soaks right in instantly and leaves the prettiest glow. Oh, I love it. I do like to give that serum a couple of seconds just to moisturize into the skin. And then I go in with the Inua little bestie version to that serum. This is their moisturizing cream, the PDRN and Hyaluron. Still the same family. And I love this packaging. This is so handy. I love that I can just squeeze it out of the tube with this little applicator. It doesn't get all gunky, and it doesn't apply too much. I just like to go in with like that much. And then again, same thing. I just work this into the skin. And again, this is like not super heavy. It's more of like a lightweight moisturizer. But since the weather started heating up, I've gotten to more of a consistent routine. And I've really just noticed results with the skincare plus the light therapy. I think my skin has probably been the best it's ever been. I always bring it down my neck as well. I just find when I'm using this, I get such fewer breakouts than I used to. And my texture is really just like disappeared. I feel like I was starting to get some like lines in my forehead. So I am almost 30 and I don't have any resting lines in my forehead. And I really just think it's from light therapy and good skincare. And also I don't like animate my face too much or try not to be like making a lot of crazy facial expressions all the time. Honestly, I feel like it helps. It sounds weird that I try to like keep my face calm, but I do. But I've never gotten any Botox or fillers in my life because like invasive facial treatments, just like personally, they freak me out because there are a lot of risks. And I'm not bashing anyone, but there are a lot of risks that come with these treatments that people just don't talk about. And I am just not, I don't consent to the bad things that could happen. So I would rather just like take my chances with aging and be really diligent on my skincare and like my facials and light therapy and all that stuff than run the risk of being like botched or messed up. So anyways, that's my little unrelated rant. I know it sounds crazy, you guys, but I really was noticing more resting lines, like in my smile lines, forehead, even like deeper lines around my eye area. But with this consistent routine that I'm using, honestly, like the Korean skincare and the light therapy being really consistent with that, that is when I really started noticing genuine results. And I kind of feel like my skin looks younger than it used to before I started doing all this. I wish I had before pictures, but yeah, honestly, my recommendation to you, if you are trying to kind of glow up, I would invest in a good light therapy mask. Personally, I just think it is worth it for the results and invest in a good skincare routine. Bonus points if it is Korean skincare, because like, are we serious? Anyways, let's move on to the fun part, the makeup. I want my skin to look like skin. I want it to look perfect and flawless, but I don't really want to look like I'm wearing makeup. And so that's kind of the vibe that we're going for today. In case this isn't enough glow for you, I am going to add just a little bit more glow with one of my favorite glowy base products. This is the Say Glowy Super Gel in the shade Star Glow. I'm putting a little bit of this on the back of my hand, honestly, just like half a pump. And I love to just place this on the high points of my face, anywhere I want a little bit of extra glowy, dewy plumpness. So I actually do like to take this underneath my eyes. I know it sounds kind of weird, but does that not look amazing? Like, look at that. This makes anywhere you apply it look so plump, so hydrated, juicy, not glittery. It's like, I don't know, the pearls in this product are literally undetectable. They look so natural on the skin. And you can totally wear this product on its own. You don't need to wear it under makeup, but it just sits so well under makeup. Like, is this base not like the most beautiful glowy base ever? I love this. I'm wearing no makeup. This is definitely what I wear. And I get so many compliments on my skin. Okay. So when it comes to my actual base, like my foundation, I want my skin to look flawless and even and perfect, but I don't want it to look like I'm wearing makeup. I don't want my skin to look heavy at all. So I'm going in with the Ilia Skin Rewind Complexion Stick. I'll link the exact shade that I'm using down below. And hear me out. I never, like in the past, have been the biggest fan of foundation sticks. I always just felt like they were kind of heavy and never applied how I wanted them to. But this one is like, if a skin tint and a foundation had a baby, it gives the most beautiful natural finish and it blends into the skin like butter. Let me show you. I'm using this giant Patrick Ta foundation brush. I actually really love this one for blending this in. And can we just talk about the shade match? I feel like a lot of makeup these days is running really like orange and yellow and warm. This actually is such a beautiful match for me. And it's kind of hard to find a good foundation for very fair skin. I'm usually the lightest shade. I don't know. Are you guys noticing that? Everything is very orange, even like lipsticks and stuff. I find it really weird. I find that using a big brush like this really helps to blend everything out really quickly, which helps just on an everyday basis. I feel like I'm always in a rush, but it doesn't leave any streak marks because I'm using a bouncing lotion instead of a dragging lotion. Since we're going for a very like glowy, effortless sort of look today, I'm going in with this contour by dibs. This is actually a duo product. It has blush on the other side, but I'm using the bronzer side and I'm just applying that on my cheekbones a little bit above where my natural hollows of my cheeks are for a bit of a lifted look. I'm going on my forehead, kind of just where the sun would naturally hit. And just watch how this melts into the skin. Now, this is more of a bronzing product. However, this does not pull orange on me. This actually gives me this really gorgeous tanned look. And just look at that finish. Like, look at how stunning and juicy it makes the cheek look. Very natural. It definitely doesn't look like a stripe of bronzer, which is one of my makeup icks, honestly. I feel like this formula is definitely more on the balmy side, so it blends really easy. Although I will say, the base that we have going on today makes your cream products just melt into the skin so nice. That moisturizer, that glowy super gel, everything that I'm using in today's video is very intentional and everything works together very harmoniously. Even this brush, if you don't have this brush, I feel like you need it because this is so good, the dense side. You can really get into those more detailed areas where you don't want it to be super dispersed and do a rough blend and really pack that color on. And then you can flip it over, use the fluffy side, and then just tap on the edges to make everything so smooth, seamless, airbrushed. Just, this is my favorite cream brush. Cream blush brush. And then when I'm done blending everything, I do like to just tap a little bit on the sides of my nose. Nothing crazy. Obviously, we need a glowy, juicy blush, so I'm going in with another Dibbs product. This is their Glow Tour Duo, and I'm using the blush side. I'm going to place this a little bit higher on my cheekbones because since this product is quite glowy, I actually want to apply it on the high points of my cheek so it catches the light. These Dibbs products are sheer in the best way. Like, obviously, you get a nice wash of color, but you know how some products are just too pigmented and they look really heavy on the skin? These are not like that at all. These melt into the skin very seamlessly and effortlessly. And you see how I'm blending this blush up onto my cheekbone area, how it catches the light? Oh, so stunning. I really love this color too. It's like the perfect pinky blush. I've really been reaching for pinky blushes since the weather has gotten warmer. I don't know what it is. A pink blush just really makes me so happy. When it comes to concealer, you can really ruin a good natural makeup look if you go in with too much concealer, and I recently discovered this one. This is by Natasha Denona. This is the High Glam Concealer, and I've got to say, it's worth the hype, but you do only need the tiniest little amount, so I'm doing very much like a Hailey Bieber method here. Just very tiny little dots of concealer, a little bit under my eye, a little bit on my brow bone area, a little bit in the center of the forehead, tip of my nose, and around my mouth. I do get a little bit red around my mouth, and then any blemishes, I will just cover that up. And I do use a specific technique for concealer when I want my makeup to look more natural. I apply my concealer lower underneath my eye area. I don't apply it right up to my lower lash line. I actually even leave like a little gap. I don't know if you guys can see. I'm not blending all the way up to my lower lash line. I also like to put a little bit of concealer on my lids because I have a little bit of discoloration. I don't apply it down onto my mobile lid. I really only apply it like on my brow bone. And you see how that just looks really natural and not heavy underneath the eyes? And because I'm not going in with a bulk of product right where I get those creases, my concealer is actually going to look really fresh and youthful all day long because I don't have a ton of product sitting in those areas where I do get a little prone to fine lines and creases. How you apply products really is just so important. And then I'm just tapping out the rest of that concealer with the dense side of this brush. And then once I have everything kind of roughly blended out, I do the same sort of technique that I do with my cream blush with my concealer. I take the fluffy side of this brush, which is so convenient, and I just tap over everything. Everywhere I applied that concealer, I just tap on top. This is going to give us a very airbrushed, flawless, seamless effect. Okay, so the base is looking so glowy, so natural. It does not look like I'm wearing heavy makeup in person. I want to lock this all into place because everything is really glowy. Sometimes glowy products can be a little bit prone to slip sliding around. And we're going to go in with powder later, but I feel like, controversial opinion, setting spray on top of setting powder kind of defeats the purpose. Unless your makeup's looking really heavy, I actually want my setting powder not to melt in with the rest of my makeup. I want it to be very powdered and matte in the areas where I apply it. I don't just want it to look basically like I only have cream makeup on. You know what I mean? I'm going in with the Morphe Life Proof Continuous Setting Mist and doing an even layer of that across my entire face. In case the skin isn't glowy enough for you, I will be adding a little bit more glow later on. But in the meantime, let's work on our eyes. I definitely want to keep my eye makeup a bit minimal. I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard. I want to give very much effortless vibes. So I'm going in with the Morphe Moonstone Eyeshadow Palette. This has been one of my favorite eyeshadow palettes for many months now. I've just been really enjoying it and it's quite affordable. It actually reminds me a lot of the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes palette at a fraction of the cost. I recently just did a drugstore dupe video for high-end luxury products and this was in there. I'll put it on the screen if you want to watch it. But I'm mixing these two colors together to create my perfect crease shade. And I'm applying that using a Ruffer 27 brush and I'm really just using the lightest hand. This is definitely more of a cool transition shade, but I did just kind of want it to look almost like a shadow or close to the natural color of like the discoloration on my eyelids almost. I just like to do this instead of going in with something really warm because I really just feel like it gives such a natural effortless effect. And remember throughout this entire video, less is more. It's so much easier to just add a little bit more if you need it than going in too heavy and then trying to remove it. That is just a mess. Trust me, you don't want to do that. And I'm just mixing those same two colors together to put this shadow on my lower lash line. I really feel like my makeup looks weird when I don't do the same thing on the bottom and add a little bit of depth on the lower lash line. And by the way, I am wearing colored contacts. These again are so natural. These are like a really pretty natural green color. I'm gonna link the exact shade that I'm wearing down below. If you're in the market for some really comfortable natural looking contacts, these are it. Since the base is really glowy, I do want a little bit of glow on my eyelids as well. And I'm not typically a glitter eyeshadow girl, but when I tell you this shadow is one of the prettiest shadows I've ever put on my eyes in my life, I am so serious. This is the Half Magic Glitter Puck eyeshadow in the shade of Glimmer Pop. You only need the tiniest bit of this eyeshadow. This would last me many lifetimes. I'm picking up the tiniest amount of that eyeshadow on my finger and I'm gonna let you in on my like ethereal twinkie twinkie twinkly eyeshadow technique. You're gonna start by just tapping all over the lid with the sheerest wash of that color. You can already see it's showing up decently intensely for how very little I had on my finger. And for me, the secret is once you go all over your mobile lid, you don't want to stop there. I actually kind of like flick it up with my finger into my crease up towards my brow bone once the majority of the product is on my mobile lid. This is gonna ensure you're really only getting a tiny amount of product up on the lids and this just gives that very effortless look. I find that if I only apply shimmer on the mobile lid, it looks a little too structured. Once you've got a sheer wash of that glitter, I'm gonna build it up right in the centermost part of the mobile lid. I want this middle part right here. This is what catches the light the most to be the most glittery part of my entire eye. Alright, so look at this eye with the glitter. This eye has nothing. So truly like whimsical. It does not look heavy at all but the way this catches the light is truly insane and like breathtaking in person. I don't think the camera is doing this justice. They have some other really pretty shades as well on the website. I highly suggest checking these out. They are stunning and something I really like about these eyeshadows in particular is that sometimes glitter eyeshadows can kind of like age your eyes and make them look a little bit heavy in my opinion but these just don't do that. They give your eyes this gorgeous wet look. I do not know how they achieved this but it's just next level. I'm going to show you guys the quickest, easiest winged liner but first I'm going to curl my eyelashes. This is the Shiseido lash curler. This is a limited edition version but the regular one is black and it's the exact same thing. I'll link it down below. This is the only lash curler I use. I've been using this for years in my pro kit, in my personal makeup and I just think it makes such a big difference. For liner, I'm going with brown because I want it to look a little bit more soft and again effortless so I'm using this putty single shadow in the shade coco brulee. This is a Korean makeup product and the formula is just so interesting to me. First of all, the color is so gorgeous. I'm only focusing this on the outer corner of my eyes. I just want like the babiest subtle little wing. This definitely gives like a really amazing pigment, definitely on the level of like a kohl or a liquid liner but it's so forgiving like a powder shadow and it's also kind of soft like a powder shadow. That took me like no time at all and I really feel like this would be so good for beginners or just anyone who struggles with their winged liner. If you want something forgiving but still like intense and color payoff, this is so stunning and I've honestly never seen a texture like this before. Very cool and that's what both eyes look like done. It took me no time at all and so pretty. This is a step that I haven't been missing lately even when I'm in a rush. I don't know why, it just makes the biggest difference to me. This little tip is something a lot of pro makeup artists do so I'm going in with the Dior show stilo waterproof creamy eyeliner pen in the shade matte black and I'm just lining my tight line with this. You really have to be careful about what products you use on your tight line because they sometimes will smudge and it'll ruin your entire makeup look. This one does not do that. Can you guys tell the difference? Because I definitely can. For mascara, I'm using my favorite mascara, the L'Oreal Paris telescopic mascara. This is definitely the most like effortless looking mascara. It's not heavy, it never clumps and I really feel like when I do that little tight line hack, my lashes just look so insanely long and I love that the brush is tiny so I can do just a little touch on the bottom lashes and when I say like the little touch, I mean the tiniest touch. I don't like a lot of bottom mascara at all. Okay, so the weather has been a little bit warmer and when it comes to lip products, I feel like I just want them to last longer throughout the day. I don't want my makeup to be melting off and this lip liner is one of the most long-lasting lip liners I've ever used and the color is so good. This is the Juvia's Place long wear lip liner in the shade signature and I love to overline my lips with this. This is like the perfect overlining lip liner and now these do set pretty quickly so I do kind of like to touch them and just soften them up as I go. I like to follow my natural lip shape especially in the outer corners. I don't overline as much. I focus most of the overlining in the center most parts of my lip so the cupid's bow and the center of my lower lip. I also talked about this in my recent dupe video. This is the Essence the slim stick lipstick and I'm just tapping this in the center of my lip. This is the prettiest matte lipstick and it's so inexpensive. I think it's like six or seven dollars or something like that and excuse me this color for an everyday nudie peachy pink. Yes, I love to wear this lip combo on its own but I'm gonna add a little bit of gloss today just because everything's so glowy and juicy. I'm going in with the Huda Beauty faux filler light sealer lip gloss and one thing about me is I love a concealer lip so on Huda Beauty, release these. I was so happy. What do you guys think of concealer lips? I know they're kind of like a controversial subject. I am obsessed but I know a lot of people hate them so let me know in the comments down below what you think. The only thing I don't like about this gloss is it's a little a little sticky a little stringy but I do just love what it did to this lip combo. Okay, now going in with powder we're going to be very strategic because we want to keep all of this glow obviously. I do want to go in with a very finely milled powder underneath my eyes just to keep that concealer in place throughout the day so I'm going in with my Pat McGrath skin fetish sublime perfection blurring under eye powder in the shade light. I'm using a morphe dual-ended brush and picking a tiny amount of that powder up and I'm just dusting it right on my under eye area. This powder is so finely milled so it's not going to settle into our fine lines and creases as much and it's just going to make our concealer last all day. I also like to put a little bit on my smile lines and around my mouth here because I don't really like to be shiny around my mouth and again I don't want to use a powder that's heavy that's going to settle into my creases in that area and I do want to add powder on my face but I want to keep the glow so I'm going in with the hourglass ambient lighting setting powder. I'm going to mix these two shades here together and I'm just going to lightly tap that all over my entire face. This is not going to take away the glow but it is going to extend the wear of our makeup. I feel like this does give a little bit of a blurring flawless candlelight effect to the skin. These powders are really so gorgeous in person and like I said I've been loving pink on the cheeks so I just want a little bit more of a pop of color. I'm going in with this kohsas blush in the shade butterflies. Looks crazy in the pan but so pretty on the cheek. I'm picking this up on a shoto 05 brush from rapper. This is so good for blush and you only need a tiny bit. Okay this blush also keeps the glow which I love. I don't want to mattify my cheek but I do just want a little bit more intensity on the cheek. This blush is so fun and it looks so good on deeper skin tones as well and I'm kind of like blending that up into my under eye area just a little bit. Gorgeous! Last but not least to finish off the cheek I want a little bit more glow. I actually don't know the name of this product because it's all in Korean but I will have it on the screen and down below. This is a clear highlighter balm so I'm actually gonna pick that up on my finger. I like to do this to warm up the product and not disrupt any of the makeup underneath and then I'm just gonna tap that on the high points of my cheek. Oh I love I love a highlight balm that's not like glittery. I just want to look like I'm glowing from within. Oh my word that is so stunning. This reminds me of the victoria beckham highlighter stick but this one is way more affordable. Look at the skin so glowy so juicy. Let me know down below in the comments if you are team glowy skin or if you're team matte skin. I recently did a video on more matte skin and a lot of you guys were team glowy skin so let me know if you like this tutorial. If you want more natural glowy skin videos from me definitely give this video a thumbs up so I know you want more and thank you so much for watching. I will see you in the next one!
