How I make my skin GLOW...it's all fake

Unless you are under the age of 10 your skin really doesn't glow on its own.

My 4 year old has amazing ...glowing ...lit from within skin. But shes 4!

So I fake mine.

......Being that I have not always had clear skin. You can read more about that Here and Here.  I have found a makeup regimen that really works to make my skin look flawless when it's really not...and this one works for just about anyone!

Being that I don't tan my skin at all with the sun or from tanning beds...read more about that Here.

I only self tan...you can read more about that Here...

So I always have to blend my face and neck with my body as I don't self tan my face for fear of acne.

Sooo here's my makeup routine for that.

Post am cleansing routine .....read about that Here.

1.  I use This SPF Every single day of my life! No matter what the weather I never leave my house without my SPF!! It helps prevent sun damage, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, rosacea...you name it ....it helps it. It's the single best this for anti aging!

2.  Then I apply This as my foundation and all over glowiness! Plus it has more SPF in it! I also use it down my neck and chest. 

3.  I love a great bronzer! I add bronzer to the sides of my forehead, temples, chin. I smile before adding my blush and apply is directly on the apples/largest part of my cheeks...the part that's raised when I smile.
As my bronzer and blush I use E.l.f Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder St Lucia

OR this pink blush or this pink blush... If I am wanting more pink. Don't be scared of the color...it goes on very sheer! And I use the ELF bronzer if I'm wanting to add a bit more to match up with my self tanner.

4.  Then for the FAUX GLOW e.l.f. Studio Baked Highlighter 83704 Moonlight Pearls
 I apply it to the inner part of my eye...not the lid..the skin area by the tear duct, the top of the cheekbones, and the brow bone..underneath your eyebrows. It is the SECRET to get the glow in my skin! 

5.  I hate when mascara runs...I also don't like flakes and I especially don't want to tug on my eyelids as this causes wrinkles and fine lines...SO....I use  blinc Amplified Mascara Black 0.3oz. It allows me to remove my mascara with only water...you will see the tiny tubes come off in your hand..don't worry it's not your eyelashes..it's the product!

6.  As for lips...I use  Juice Beauty Reflecting Lip Gloss Pink .14oz
Or
This

That's it...It takes me about 7 minutes total to do the basic face from start to finish.
