Hot off the heels of the #glasskin trend came the sunshine skin. From Dua Lipa to Selena Gomez – the fashion crowd has given the trend their nod of approval, and we’re 100% smitten. Dua Lipa took to Instagram to post a carousel of photos that sums up the perfect sunshine skin. Bare, sun-kissed in all the right places, and with a light flush over her cheeks, the pop star looked so darn cute – we love it. The skin trend is guaranteed to catapult your beauty game to an all-time high.
The complexion trick is all about giving your skin a bronzed, beautiful, and dewy glow – the kind you have after spending a day at the beach. If you wanna try this hot-right-now trend, here’s a 6-step guide to slay the look now.
The Ultimate Guide To Give Your Skin A Sun-Kissed Update
Follow A Good Skincare Routine
Following a good skincare routine and being consistent is key to maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. If your skin is properly nourished, the makeup products applied later will enhance your skin’s natural radiance. Using chemical exfoliants with AHAs and BHAs is a great option if you want to slough away dead skin cells. In addition to this, using a Vitamin C product is your way to glow!
Glow-Inducing Primers FTW!
A glow-inducing primer can take your complexion from lacklustre to luminous in a matter of seconds. It adds an instant lit-from-withing glow to your skin and gives your makeup a good head start. If you are going for a minimal makeup look, using a concealer on top of the primer will give you even and glowing skin.
Remember Less Is More
If you wanna keep your makeup base looking fresh and natural, tinted moisturisers are the way to go. They help add instant colour and warmth to your skin while amping up the glow. Bronzer also works well for this purpose. All you need to do is take a loaded brush and sweep it across your forehead, around the temples, and below the cheekbones to gently sculpt the face.
Highlight To Meet Your Glowy Goddess Goals
For an extra dose of luminosity, a highlighter is an absolute must-have. We love creamy and liquid formulas that melt into the skin giving it a sheer, dewy glow.
Try The Sunburn Blush Trend
The sunburn blush trend has been flooding our feeds for quite some time now. It’s key to fake toasted skin. The trend involves placing the blush strategically on your cheeks and nose. Red or coral blushes look super cute on Indian skin tones. Apply the blush to the high point of your face where the sun would naturally hit and you’re guaranteed to nail that Instagram selfie.
Fake That Freckled Face
Freckles scream summer-sunshine kisses in all capacities. There’s something undeniably fresh and playful about a sun-speckled face. And, the good part is that even if you’re not blessed with natural freckles you can totally fake ’em. Brow pencils tend to work great for this purpose or you can invest in a freckle pen. Lightly apply freckles on the face and leave space between the freckles to make them look more natural.
Get, set, glow!
