This Is The Makeup Look We All Want, Isn’t It? Here’s How To Get It. It’s Easy.
by The Candidly Team
Makeup trends come and go. Cat eye liner sharp enough to kill a man. Faux freckles. Red lips. Blue (shudder) eyeshadow.
But there is one look that, if we’re being honest, is basically how we want to look now, today, forever. It’s not complicated, it’s not setting the world on fire, it’s just, well, perfect.
And here it is…
Hazy, unfussy eyes. Glossy skin. Balmy lips. It’s an extremely overused and mostly annoying phrase but this makeup really exemplifies that “lit from within” look that feels like it just … happened. Almost by accident.
And guess what? It’s supremely easy to achieve. You don’t need a shred of skill. You just need these exact products.
Let’s go.
1. SKIN
Purito Oat-in Calming Gel Cream
Every single makeup look you’ve ever loved starts with extremely fresh, plump, hydrated skin. THIS entire routine is unbelievably affordable and all on Amazon, but if you want to start with one key thing, make it this moisturizer. It gives you that glass skin look without ever making you oily because it’s a gel. And even if you’re on the dry side, this is like a huge drink of water for the skin.
Price: $13
Clinique Moisture Surge™ Sheertint Hydrator Broad Spectrum SPF 25
Choosing a foundation is the single hardest part of makeup. We know. It’s why THIS article went viral. And most of it has to do with how utterly confusing it is to choose a color. Undertone? What? How? But this one has very few shades, and all of them are wildly flexible so if you take a rough guess, you’ll be right. It’s also the perfect blend of dewy coverage while looking exactly like your skin. Just a lot better.
Price: $44
Jones Road Miracle Balm
This product is very polarizing. A (small) group of you say you can’t deal with how glowy it is. The rest of you, like us, wear it now exclusively because it’s truly like a lightbulb for your cheek—and it means you don’t need anything else on your face. No highlighter, no bronzer, nothing. All the shades work on almost everyone, but dm us if you want to see swatches or want advice on which color to choose.
Price: $38
2. EYES
Jillian Dempsey Lid Tint In Bronze
This is the hero product of this entire look. This sheer eye tint gives you that next-day eye that looks 500 times better than when it was first applied. It’s glossy but doesn’t crease, and this exact color is it. Smear it on with your finger. The messier the better.
Price: $28
Clinique High Impact™ Mascara In Black Honey
This color is key! And it also happens to be an excellent, long-wearing mascara that never clumps.
Price: $26
Mac Eyeshadow In Woodwinked
Smudge this on your lower lash line, haphazardly, and it will finish the whole eye, while not looking “done.”
Price: $25
3. LIPS
Dior Lip Glow Oil In 001 Pink
The only lip product used for this look is a balmy gloss. And it is for that reason we feel ok about recommending this somewhat maddeningly priced product.
Price: $40
And….that’s it. Not bad, right? Extremely easy to throw on, with a pay off like you won’t believe. If you get stuck, just dm us. We’re always there. Which is probably not healthy but there it is.
