Here’s the thing with glowy skin. In photographs, it is lost in translation. That glossy, glassy skin looks a bit too much and can simply look greasy. But what’s the alternative? Super-matte skin that makes you look dead? No, there’s a balance. Start with a makeup primer that gives a glow, but not too much. Avoid oily foundations. Only highlight key points, like the top of the cheekbones (no one needs a highlighted forehead) and always have a finely milled translucent powder to hand.
