Finding the right products to achieve the look of 'glowy' skin when having either oily or combination skin can be a royal pain! After hunting both high end department stores and the drugstore I have finally found three products that work perfectly with my combination skin and give a glowing look without leaving the skin with an oily sheen after a few hours. I have picked three products that are all of different formulas - cream, liquid and powder - and which can be layered together or used alone.
Seventeen Wow Skin 3 Way Highlighter - This product can be used in three different ways - as a primer, mixed with foundation or used on top of makeup as a liquid highlighter but I've been using this as a primer, applying it to all of the areas that I want to add a glow to.
No7 Instant Radiance Highlighter - I like to apply this to the highpoint of my cheekbones, cupids bow and brow bone, either directly from the stick or by taking some of the product onto my finger tips and blending it out using a fluffy brush.
Mac Mineralise Skinfinish in 'Soft and Gentle' - When I want to intensify the glow I layer this over the No7 Instant Radiance Highlighter but find that this highlighter looks just as beautiful when applied by itself. Like the cream highlighter that I mentioned, I apply this to the cheekbones, cupids bow and brow bone as well as using a small eyeshadow brush to apply this to the inner corners of the eyes.
What are your favourite ways to achieve glow skin without getting oily or looking greasy?
