By Chrissy Yassim

With summer just around the corner, it's time to ditch the winter blues and amp up your makeup routine for those sunny days ahead. Whether you're jetting off to a tropical destination or simply looking to add some warmth and luminosity to your everyday makeup, achieving a summer glow is a must. Say goodbye to winter and hello to a radiant complexion that's ready to shine under the sun.

Step #1: Prep Your Face

To achieve that coveted summer glow, start by prepping your skin with Holy Hydration! Face Cream and mix in 1-3 drops of Bronzing Drops. This combination will give your skin a natural, sun-kissed glow from within.

Step #2: Apply Face Primer

Next, smooth out your skin's canvas by applying Liquid Poreless Putty Primer using the Putty Applicator Tool. This primer has a lightweight silky texture that not only extends the wear of your makeup but also minimizes the appearance of pores for a flawless complexion.

Step #3: Complexion

Follow up with Halo Glow Liquid Filter using a Complexion Duo Brush. Halo Glow Liquid Filter boosts your skin's glow and can be worn alone for a natural, radiant look with sheer coverage. Next, apply a hydrating concealer under the eyes to conceal any under-eye shadows and help brighten.

Step #4: Setting Powder

To keep your makeup in place, use a Halo Glow Powder Puff and Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder. This will help to give you a flawless finish without any shine.

Step #5: Add Cream Blush and Bronzer

To help add warmth and dimension to your complexion, apply the Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand to the tops of your cheeks and forehead. This contour has a buildable formula that melts seamlessly into the skin. Use Camo Liquid Blush for a natural, colorful glow on your cheeks. The blush blends easily into your skin for a fresh, dewy look.

Step #6: Eyeshadow and Mascara

To achieve a long-lasting, high-pigment color on your eyelids, first apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer. Next, use a metallic eyeshadow stick for a glossy finish that stays in place.

Next, apply 1-2 coats of Lash ‘N Roll Mascara for maximum curl and lift. Use a deep brown for a softer effect. Complete your eye makeup by brushing your eyebrows upwards with Brow Lift and the Brow Lift Applicator for a defined, feathered look.

Step #7: Lips that Shine

For a summer makeup look, start by using Cream Glide Lip Liner to shape and define your lips before adding a glossy finish.

Then, slick on some Glow Reviver Lip Oil for a sheer wash of color and all-out shine for a luminous pout that's pillowy soft and non-sticky.

Step #8: Set Your Makeup

Finally, set your makeup in place with Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray to grip your glow for long-lasting wear. This final step will ensure your makeup stays flawless, no matter where the day takes you!

With these products and tips in hand, you'll be ready to slay the season with a radiant summer glow that turns heads wherever you go. So go ahead, soak up the sun and let your inner glow shine bright this summer!
