With the practice and use of highlighter, you can achieve a great glow any time of the year. From medium end to low, there are many great alternatives. I've tried them all and depending what I'm going for, I use accordingly.
Low end- physician formula has a great one, and it is not too shimmery or light, it's actually just right and a matte finish
Medium- benefit watts up or high beam. Watts up is a lovely champagne hue, and high beam is a pinky beige that casts a lovely light
NARS 413 BLKR is another medium end brand that delivers. The beauty of this is you can do both, illuminate OR highlight. You can mix in with foundation for a glow boost or alone as a highlight. It is a multi functional product.
I love all of mine and usually I switch from cream or liquid to powders for fall and winter.

Makeup refresh
Do you change your makeup with the seasons? I do. Often, I opt for a natural, glowy look for the summer followed by a bold tangerine or coral lip. For fall, I really love a matte complexion with a raspberry or red lip. Winter, I really adore shimmers with a subtle pink lip. Spring, I look to pastels. Right now, it is summer, so it's all about the glowy look.
Here are a list of some of my go to favorites:
NARS blush in ORGASM. There's no going wrong with this shade. It gives you such a beautiful ethereal glowy look. Bonus, it's universally flattering on every one! Perfect for a bridal look
NARS Sugarland eyeshadow duo. Matte and shimmer shadows play out a lovely natural look
Benefit watts up highlighter- a glowy look isn't complete without highlighter. I run under brows, across forehead, and temples.
No summer look is complete without at least 30 spf. I love L'Oréal silky sheer lotion for that.
Above all, primer is a must. If you don't use it, your makeup simply won't look it's optimum. If you don't prime, you pay the crime! ☺ SMASHBOX photo finish is my personal favorite.
Lastly, if you haven't discovered BB cream by now, you really need to! This tinted moisturizer has spf AND 5 benefits of use. I never go without my BB! Personally, I use garnier BB cream. I've used it for 3 years and ive liked that one the most.
Do you like to switch your looks up too?
