The 12 Essential Products For That Glazed-Donut, Luminous Skin We All Want
by The Candidly Team
For any of our 40+ comrades marching steadily away from the year 1990, despite it feeling only like twenty years ago (ahem, it’s actually thirty years ago), we have discovered the secret to luminous skin, minimized wrinkles, smoothed pores, and disappearing eye bags. And that secret is?
Glow.
When we get older, we must run as fast as we can, away from powders and cakey foundations and opaque textures, right into the arms of sheer, exfoliated, glow-giving luminosity.
So many of us make the mistake of using thick products or “full-coverage” makeup thinking it will hide our age. When in fact, those products exacerbate our bags, texture, our wrinks, our crags.
We’re not trying to look young. We’re just trying to look rested, gorgeous, natural, healthy, ageless. And these 12 products are a good first step in that dewy direction.
Let’s go.
At The Candidly, we try a lot of stuff so you don’t have to. We only recommend things we truly love, and that we think you’ll love, too. All products are chosen independently by our creative team, and all details reflect the price and availability of products at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to, The Candidly may earn a commission.
We have to eat.
