6 Steps To Glowing Skin This Winter

CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BECCA

Backlight Priming Filter, £23.80 (was £28)

Glowy make-up doesn’t start with foundation. It starts with a primer that has skincare benefits. Make sure you choose one with a radiant formula, like this one from BECCA, which gives a multidimensional luminosity to the skin, thanks to soft-focus pigments. Massage in the featherweight texture and you’ll soon see the liquid gives an incredible glow-from-within finish that lays the foundation for further dewiness. Plus, the addition of vitamin E and nourishing liquorice extract will stop any dryness (the enemy of glowy make-up).

Under Eye Brightening Corrector, £17.85 (was £21)

This corrector is loved by the pros. An amazing pearl finish leaves a soft glow where the skin needs it most –under the eyes, to cover redness and any uneven tone. Pink-toned particles neutralise the blueness of dark circles and broken capillaries, while the formula itself leaves behind a veil of colour that not only conceals, but brightens too. On good skin days, this can easily be used as a foundation replacement because it’s beautifully light, endlessly blendable yet invisible to the eye – except for that faultless glow.

Pop Goes The Glow Face & Eye Palette, £33.60 (was £42)

Add the same luminescence to your eyes with this full-face palette. Its five reflective shades each bring warmth and light to the skin. Try a wash of the gold hues over your eyelids and don’t be afraid to brush some along your cheekbones, nose and cupid’s bow. These areas are where your face moves, so the pretty pigments will give the illusion of an all-over glowiness – think ‘your skin but better’ effect.

Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter, £25.50 (was £30)

Dab on touches of highlight with this award-winning baked luminiser. With it’s butter soft texture and ultra-fine luminescent pearls, it’s no wonder it’s a makeup artist favourite and the number one highlighter in the US. Determine where to apply it by looking at your face and where it catches the light. The trick is to avoid applying it all over. You just want to add shape and dimension, otherwise you run the risk of the highlight creasing on your skin. As a general rule, apply it to the tops of your cheekbones and just the bridge of your nose. Leave the chin alone – applying it there will result in oiliness not gleam. It has the perfect amount of shimmer in it (i.e. barely any) so you can continue to build upon your dewy base for a look that’s healthy and reflective.

Hydra Mist Set & Refresh Powder, £27.20 (was £32)

To make your glow go the distance, go over your make-up with an illuminating powder. BECCA’s Hydra Mist Set & Refresh formula will seal make-up into place, but maintain a glowy radiance that other powders don’t. Formulated with 50% water and glycerine, it leaves skin feeling hydrated and comfortable, without any dry, chalky sensation. Apply it with a light hand in deft motions with a brush. This will mean there’s less risk of depositing too much, so you’ll still see a light come through.

Party Popper Ultimate Lipstick Love Mini Kit, £27

If you want to maintain the gloss on your lips, look no further than BECCA’s new Mini Lip Kit. With three wearable shades, each formula combines hyaluronic acid and nourishing avocado oils for a glowy, moisturising texture that’s not sticky or tacky. Each one is beautifully sheer with just the right amount of pigment for a polished, high-shine finish you’ll love.
