Make up Monday | Radiant illuminating skin (Cheats edition)

It is that time of year when we all want to get that summer/ spring glow so I thought I would share some great products that I use to get as close to that as possible. 

For the base I have actually been using aka borrowing my mama's NARS sheer glow foundation. The shade isn't quite right for my skin tone but I use the tiniest amount and blend it in. It is great for those of you who still want some coverage on your face without it looking overdone. The formula is perfect especially if you have a yellow based skin tone. 

It is perfect for this time of year as it gives a nice luminous look to your face without feeling like a foundation. It feels like a tinted moisturiser with the coverage of foundation.

Bronzer is always a must too. Keep it light and subtle but enough to give you that sun kissed look. My go too and the only bronzer I own is the Arbonne bronzer*. Gives you colour without looking cakey. 

I generally skip the blush on a regular day during this time of year and go straight to highlight. Keep it cream or liquid as they are long lasting and look more natural especially in the warmer months. Benefit do amazing ones so go swatch them. My  one at the moment is the Benefit's Watts Up highlighter but I have my eye on the others. The Sleek highlighter is also a long time favourite. 

And those are my favourite make up products to achieve the radiant skin look. On a side note the key to gaining an actual glowy complexion is through looking after your skin and exfoliating weekly.
