To achieve a natural and glowy makeup, the key is choosing hydrating products which include active ingredients that provide luminosity and moisture. You should get the tone right, but the composition of its formula is the most important. Select a hydrating foundation, lip balm, and blush to apply on top of your healthy skin after the morning skincare routine.
If you have oily skin, choose products without extra oils so the makeup doesn’t intensify the natural shine of your skin. In case your skin is normal or dry, apply a rich moisturizing cream and allow it to be partially absorbed. Then, apply an hydrating foundation that contains active ingredients with extra hydration, such as hyaluronic acid. You will get a ‘glow’ effect and your skin will feel smooth and elastic.
GLOWY AND MOISTURIZING MAKEUP
Give your skin enough hydration during your skincare routine and also with your makeup. This is fundamental to achieve radiant skin and prevent your skin from wrinkling and aging prematurely. Therefore, it is very important that you give it the care it deserves.
1. Foundation
Hyaluronic acid foundations are one of the most chosen options for faces looking to go one step further. This type of foundation provides extra moisture that penetrates the deepest layers, giving the skin a soft and hydrated appearance all day. In addition, they are oil regulatory and non-comedogenic. Therefore, they are suitable for all skin types: from the driest to the most oily and sensitive.
Buy this hydrating foundation by Clarins
Skin Illusion Teint Naturel Foundation by Clarins is a light foundation with a serum texture that offers great coverage. Unifies the tone, covers imperfections and provides maximum hydration due to its formula with hyaluronic acid, red jania extract, and organic kalanchoe.
2. Lip balm
Hydrating the lips makes them look plump and smooth and make your lipsticks sit much better on your lips. In this sense, a good lip balm can be responsible for repairing, moisturizing and restoring vitality. Tinted lip balms have the advantage that you don’t need to use lipstick on top of it.
Buy this lip balm by Dior
One of the most recommended and versatile moisturizing lip balms is Dior Addict Lip Glow. It is perfect for achieving a radiant look and giving color to your lips while keeping them hydrated. Provides subtle pigmentation that adapts to each skin tone.

Its stick format facilitates its application and thanks to its moisturizing components and its color technology it is capable of reviving the appearance of the driest lips, making it one of the highest quality balms on the market.
3. Blush
Blush makes the face look bright. Cream or liquid blushes with a hydrating feel fulfill three purposes: take years off your skin, instantly hydrate, and make you look more lively and healthy. In addition, thanks to their stick or brush formats, they are easy to apply and you can carry them in your bag to touch up your makeup at any time.
