1. Prepare your skin

For an all-day glow that doesn’t run, make sure you use a good makeup base, especially in the summer. Skin tends to get oily faster than usual in the heat. Start your makeup ritual with a matifying cream to the T zone. The product’s phytoglycogen hydrates, while the arrowroot powder efficiently absorbs excess sebum for a flawless makeup base without any extra shine.

On the other hand, if your skin needs more radiance, it would be better to turn to the Phyto-glow serum and creams. They’re made with phytoglycogen and encapsulated and stabilized vitamin C to give radiance to the skin and unify the complexion.

2. Get an even skin tone

For the most natural glowy makeup look, start with a lightweight foundation that’s easy to apply on all skin types. Apply it all over your face with a swipe and blend with your fingertips, a brush or sponge to even it out and get a naturally radiant complexion.

3. Cover up under-eye circles and blemishes

4. Bronze and sculpt contour

After a long winter, your skin could use a boost. Apply some bronzer for a radiant effect. Choose a shade that matches your skin tone for contouring so you can add dimension to your face while playing with natural light. If you want a more lightweight and subtle glowy makeup look, you can skip the foundation—bronzer is enough to brighten up your skin.

5. Add a touch of pink

For an effortless glowy makeup look, opt for a lightweight blush that will give your cheeks a hint of pink. Apply it to the cheekbones and then blend the colour upwards.

6. Give your complexion a burst of radiance
