Step 1: Skin Prep – The Base of Glam
Clean skin makes good makeup. I start by cleansing with LMS Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm. I warm the balm on my skin so it turns to oil and breaks down dirt. I then add water; the balm turns milky. It leaves my face clean and smooth. For a low-risk try, you can choose a small size or go for the full bottle if you like.
I then use Clarins Double Serum to add moisture. It works well on skin like my friend Blue’s. The serum keeps skin fresh without weight or shine.
Step 2: Prime for a Smooth, Shine-Free Look
A good primer holds makeup in place. For spots like the nose, center of the forehead, and chin, I apply Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. It keeps skin soft while reducing shine and hiding pores.
Step 3: Flawless Foundation Application
I choose Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation for a bright finish that builds well. The product hides imperfections. I use a sponge for easy blending. I also use Sephora Collection’s Total Coverage Angled Sponge. It works well for all face areas and fills in tight spots around the eyes.
Step 4: Warm Up & Sculpt with Cream Bronzer
To add a natural sun-kissed look, I use cream bronzer. SE Sun Melt Cream Bronzer works well along the cheekbones, jaw, and forehead. I use a sponge or my fingers to blend the product until it feels just right. This step gives me warm, glowing skin without any powdery look.
Step 5: Brighten and Conceal Like a Pro
I brighten the eyes and under-eye area using Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer. This full-coverage concealer hides dark areas and stays in place when set. I apply it with a brush and then press it in with the flat side of my sponge so the product remains smooth and even.
Step 6: Set Without Losing Dewiness
To lock the look in place, I use One/Size Translucent Setting Powder with a puff. The powder is light and lasts long. I apply it under the eyes and on any spots that crease. I then sweep a bit of powder on my T-zone with a soft brush. This keeps my skin matte yet still bright.
I finish by spraying Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Set and Refresh Spray. This spray melts the powder into my skin and adds moisture. The result is a natural glow that lasts all day.
Step 7: Bake and Brighten Key Areas
If I see creasing or excess shine, I use the same One/Size setting powder to bake the areas. I let the product sit briefly and then dust it away. This gives a smooth finish and a light, flattering glow.
Step 8: Eye Magic – A Layered Cream and Powder Blush Duo
I create a bold look without using only eyeshadows. First, I sweep the cream side of Patrick Ta Beauty Cream and Powder Blush Duo lightly on the lids. The cream gives a soft base. Then I press some powder blush on top to add rich color and depth. The cream holds the powder on so the color shows up brightly.
Bonus Tips for Glam Success

• Choose cream products for a natural glow and easy blending.
