Top 5 | Best Products for Glowing Skin

Kim December 14, 2018

Everyone loves a good glow and the trend still lingers to this day. There are so many amazing products out there and I tried my fair few. Here are my go-tos to achieving fresh, dewy skin. You'll notice I have a mix of skincare and makeup because I find the best glow comes from the skin first. Enjoy!

  1. By Terry CC Lumi Serum.

    This is heaven in a bottle. Not only is it skincare and makeup all in one, but it also neutralises skin tones and helps to correct any discolouration. The lumi serum has been a cult classic for a while now and I finally know why. It imparts the most healthiest glow and can be worn by itself or under makeup.

  2. Korres Wild Rose Oil

    This wild rose is quite different from the rest. The super lightweight texture is highly absorbent and doesn't feel like you're suffocating under a heap of oil. Mixed in with your moisturiser or your favourite full coverage foundation, you're in for the healthiest glow.

  3. RMS Living Luminiser

    RMS never fails at achieving glowing skin. With it's smooth coconut based formula and fine specks of shimmer, this product offers the most natural, wet-skin, glow. Used under of over foundation, you'll be able to see your skin glisten like never before.

  4. Hourglass Ambient Strobe Blush - Incandescent Electra

    Incandescent light has got to be one of my favourite strobe powders from Hourglass. It's actually better when mixed with the blush. When Hourglass released the Incandescent Electra blush I was totally on board. Use this blush and you've got compliments galore! Great for events when you need that extra sheen on the cheeks.

  5. Hourglass Vanish Stick - Champagne Flash

    Vanish sticks had their hype time but I'm here to tell you they are still so relevant and are here to stay/ These are so versatile! They can be built to a high sheen or a subtle glow. Worked underneath your foundation or on top, you'll get a beautiful glow that isn't too glitzy.

Advice | Remind Yourself of Your Goals
January 13, 2021

The start of the new year is always a challenge, especially for freelancing. You come off the high from the crazy working hours of the holiday period only to be met with the low season of the new year. Motivation is low as we enter back into the work year. Like many, I experienced this slump during the first few weeks of 2021.

Top 5 | Tinted Moisturisers
November 19, 2020

I've compiled a list of my top 5 tinted moisturisers for both myself and clients. 99% of the time, I'm living in a tinted moisturiser because of the ease and natural sheen it adds to my skin. The recent trend toward more natural looking makeup is a train I can definitely jump on board with. These products have been tried and tested. They provide the right amount of oomph and mojo for me to even write about them, that’s saying something.

Advice | Achieving Healthy Skin
October 28, 2020

Over the years, I've been able to nut out the fundamentals to achieving healthy skin. Skin that is in it's healthiest state is plump, hydrated, bouncy and glowy. This isn't a post on how to reverse time. It's not about anti-ageing techniques. I want you guys to have healthy skin that can be achieved at any age, any time.

Product Review | Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner
August 23, 2020

Korean skincare is no easy feat. The difference between Western vs. Eastern skincare is the cultural buying habits. Western skincare love ingredients and statistical claims, whereas Eastern beauty prefer the layering of multiple products, texture, and packaging. Ingredients have recently become a trend in the Asian market which is why you see more brands using key ingredients to market their products.

Advice | What Would You Do With $500?
April 30, 2019

When I earn money from a job, its so hard not to spend it all on products. Being in the beauty industry, you easily get sucked into new, shiny, products to stock in your kit. There are thousands of influencers and makeup artists who have holy grail items and you get tempted buying all of it in the hopes that your artistry will look the same. This was a downward spiral that I did NOT want to be stuck in. I wasn't saving money and my 'investment' back into my kit wasn't getting me the results I wanted.

I can’t wait for some fun colours to be released. Shades mentioned: ✨ Endless Cacao (greyish brown) ✨ Limitless Brown (warm, dark brown) ✨ Wherever Walnut (neutral rose) ✨ Anywhere Caffeine (warm spice brown)

A new favourite added to the collection. It literally combines all the scents I grew up with. It’s insanely fresh whilst enveloping you in a warm spicy cloud. I prefer scents that aren’t overpowering to my nose but still remain interesting (especially if you stand close by). @shiro_japan Spice of Life
