Achieve a Radiant Glow by Mixing Highlighter with Foundation

Do you aspire to embody the look of a glowing goddess but want to avoid an overly dramatic strobe effect? We completely understand how easy it is to go overboard with highlighter (we all want that unicorn glow!). A simple yet effective tip for achieving a dewy, radiant complexion while maintaining a natural appearance is to blend your favorite liquid illuminator with your foundation. Instead of applying highlighter directly onto your skin, mix a drop of our All Over Glow: Lightly Sun Kissed or Deeply Sun Kissed into your preferred liquid foundation. Our All Over Glow contains light-reflective golden pigments that offer a natural shimmer, enriched with nourishing ingredients like pomegranate seed oil and goji berries. Dispense a quarter-sized amount onto the back of your clean hand, then add a drop of All Over Glow on top. Blend with your finger and use a makeup blender or a cruelty-free kabuki brush to apply it to your face. Voila! Say hello to your newly transformed self. This technique is perfect for music festivals or any occasion where you want to be the center of attention. It’s particularly useful during winter when your skin may appear dull and lifeless. If you’re eager to combat the winter blues, check out our additional tips on how to warm up winter skin.

Make a Bold Statement with Colored Mascara

You may have been told that your mascara should match your natural hair color. While it’s common to match our eyebrow makeup to our hair, there are always exceptions (hello, rainbow-colored brows!). If you want to create a look that truly exudes runway chic, opt for a colored mascara instead. Choose a mascara that contrasts with your eye color for a striking effect that’s sure to captivate attention. When selecting a colored mascara, consider complementary hues—those that sit directly opposite each other on the color wheel. For instance, if you have green eyes, our Fruit Pigmented® Ultra Lengthening Mascara in Blackberry will beautifully enhance your eye color. Similarly, if your eyes are brown, try the deep denim blue of our Fruit Pigmented® Ultra Lengthening Mascara in Blueberry. The color contrast will be particularly eye-catching when you’re in the spotlight. You can confidently share with your followers that your luscious lashes are made with natural fruit pigments instead of harsh chemicals.

Brighten Your Look with White Eyeliner

Are you aware that using white eyeliner can create the illusion of larger, more awake eyes? Our Bright Eyes Creamy Long Last Liner does more than just brighten your gaze. It’s aptly named “creamy” because it glides on smoothly, thanks to luxurious seed oils and shea butter. Apply this silky eyeliner along your waterline to enhance your overall radiance instantly (and it nourishes your skin with Vitamin E!). For a subtler glow, dab the liner onto the inner corners of your eyes. Additionally, our white eyeliner works wonders as a highlighter; you can precisely define your brows by applying it beneath your brows along the brow bone. Did you know this versatile eye pencil can be used outside of the eye area too? Adding a touch of white eyeliner to your cupid’s bow can create a beautifully pouty look. It’s truly a mighty little pencil that can elevate any makeup look!

Enhance Your Lips with Bamboo Blur Powder

Our Bamboo Blur Powder acts as an incredible makeup hack all on its own. Dust it over your foundation to achieve a poreless and soft complexion—creating an airbrushed effect without any need for Photoshop! Many of our fans have likened its effect to an “Instagram filter.” Besides setting your makeup and prolonging its wear, this silky powder absorbs excess facial oil, keeping shine at bay and ensuring you look flawless from day to night. Did you know you can also use it to amplify your lipstick’s vibrancy and create plump-looking lips? Just dab a tiny pinch (a little goes a long way) onto the center of your lips with your finger or a brush to enhance color payoff and truly make your lips stand out. Additionally, this fine bamboo powder can instantly turn your favorite lipstick into a matte masterpiece. To achieve this with our Fruit Pigmented® Pomegranate Oil Anti Aging Lipsticks, apply the lipstick first, then place a tissue over your lips and dust a layer of Bamboo Blur Powder through the tissue using a Cruelty-Free Flat Kabuki Brush. No need to worry about it touching your lips since it’s formulated with 100% natural bamboo silica and is also vegan!
