It's great to get compliments on your hair or clothes, but to be told "What glowing skin you have!" always has an effect. This "brightness" is often attributed to internal factors such as happiness or health and is considered a quality that attracts positively attention. Fortunately, it is possible to "create" it. With a few cosmetics and a touch of dexterity, it's super easy to brighten your cheeks and have a healthy glow.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Prepare the Skin
Step 1. Exfoliate your face
Dead cells, make-up and dirt residue accumulate on the face, making the skin look dull and dull. If you want to have a healthy and radiant face, you must first take care of the skin so that it becomes visibly more beautiful. Make sure you exfoliate it three times a week to remove buildup of cosmetics and oil, so that it is always fresh.

Step 2. Moisturize the skin
Dry skin tends to be dull and cracked, so it's important to moisturize it regularly. You have to do this in the morning, in the evening and when you get out of the shower. Look for creams specific to your skin type.
Hydration is vital for the body in general, so make sure you drink enough water throughout the day. Men should take about three liters, women two
Step 3. Prepare your face
Before you start wearing makeup, you need to apply a primer, which will create a base for your other cosmetics and make your makeup last longer. This product helps to fix the products, preventing them from dripping or creasing. The primer also allows you to smooth the face and create a flawless base for a luminous effect. To avoid having your makeup dripped at lunchtime despite all the effort you put into it in the morning, use the primer.
Step 4. Apply a thin layer of BB cream
The abbreviation "BB" can stand for blemish balm, beauty balm or beauty benefit. In any case, all BB creams have the same goal, which is to perfect the complexion. They even out the skin tone and minimize pores. Look for one with light-reflecting properties to brighten your face even more.
- BB creams are not very opaque, so they won't weigh down your face or create an ugly mask effect under your foundation.
- Many BB creams contain ingredients that act as primers and moisturizers, but using them together with other products guarantees a better result.
Part 2 of 3: Put on makeup
Step 1. Create a flawless base with foundation
To accentuate the radiant effect, it is important to have smooth and even skin. BB creams improve the complexion, but a foundation guarantees greater coverage. Apply it all over the face with the Beauty Blender or a special brush.
Step 2. Correct dark circles
Bags and dark circles immediately attract attention and prevent you from having a healthy complexion. Apply a concealer with a concealer brush, sponge or your fingers. Gently tap the product to blend it well. At this point, fix everything with a compact powder.
Step 3. Enhance your cheekbones with a bronzer
If you contour by applying the bronzer in the hollow of the cheeks, you will sculpt the face and the luminous effect will be much more natural. Apply it with a blending brush working from the hollow of the cheeks to the temples, gradually loading the color. At this point the cheeks should appear defined and sculpted.
If you're having a hard time figuring out where to apply the bronzer, try this trick. Pucker your lips in imitation of a fish and touch your cheeks. At the point where the cheeks are sucked, just below the cheekbones, you will feel indentations: this is where the bronzer should be applied
Step 4. Apply the blush to the knobs
To achieve a glowing effect, cheeks should be pink, so apply a blush of a soft, natural color. If you're not sure where to put it, look at yourself and smile, then apply it to the raised parts of your cheeks. Proceed with a light hand: it is better to gradually load the color than to exaggerate.

Step 5. Apply highlighter to your cheeks
Now that you've evened out your complexion and created a healthy glow, a final (but not least) touch is needed. Buy a clear, pearly highlighter in perfumery. Apply it along the natural curve of the cheekbones with your fingers, tapping it gently. It should be applied to the highest point of the cheekbones, right where the light hits you when you smile.
Together with the bronzer and the blush, the highlighter will highlight the cheeks, making them pink and bright
Part 3 of 3: Creating a Natural Glowing Effect
Step 1. Nourish your skin with a healthy diet
If you do nothing but eat junk food, your skin will suffer. In general, the dish you bring to the table must always be colored, that is, eat leafy vegetables, fruit, vegetables and so on. These foods brighten the skin, and also contain micronutrients that help you enjoy overall good health. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as oily fish, are equally effective for hydrated and glowing skin.
When eating, replace sodas, coffee, and sugary juices with plain water. Dehydrated skin immediately catches the eye
Step 2. Exercise regularly
Include cardiovascular exercises in your workout to speed up your heart rate. Sweating helps to naturally brighten the skin, eliminating impurities and clearing the pores. A good workout not only promotes endorphin production and improves mood, it also offers numerous benefits to the skin.
Sweating while exercising is good for your skin, but don't let the sweat stay on your face for too long. When you are done working out, be sure to wash it. When you sweat, the waste materials are expelled from the pores and come to the surface, then it's up to you to get rid of them permanently with a good cleansing
Step 3. Get enough sleep
This is perhaps the easiest beauty advice to follow there is. When you sleep, the body begins to regenerate. Since the blood flow to the skin increases, the skin will be healthier and brighter. If you've ever spent a sleepless night studying or hanging out with your friends, you know that the next morning your skin looks swollen and dull. Do her a favor by trying to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night.
Step 4. Reload
Safe and serene people shine with their own light. Take an example from them and cheer up when you feel down. Do something you love, spend time with people with a positive disposition, remember all the reasons why you are unique and wonderful or listen to that song that immediately puts you in a good mood. It may seem strange to you, but only genuine happiness can give you a beautiful natural glow.
