From the leaves of literature to glossy magazine pages, writers the world over have used one word to describe a natural and universal concept of beauty: glow. Whether it’s the ‘glow of youth’ or that of a new-found love, this natural radiance is a look that many a beauty brand has tried to recreate with a myriad of products. If you’re looking to incorporate the right shine into your daily make up routine, we’ve got a list of the best tools to ensure your skin is glowing, come rain or shine. 

Charlotte Tillbury – world famous make-up artist and beauty brand – uses porcelain flower extract in the newly launched Hollywood Flawless Filter foundation. This essence, derived from a Thai flower, is made of natural anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that create a brightening effect.

Guerlain’s Météorites CC Glow collection, meanwhile, is comprised of three colour correcting pens that work together to target and banish skin tone imperfections. Each concealer has specific correcting properties, which in turn offer a radiant and rejuvenating effect.

The Hourglass Vanish Flash highlighting stick is formulated with hollow microspheres for the most weightless texture. The skin-saving highlighters adjust to your body temperature, effortlessly blending into the skin and offering an instant flash of light.

Natural Radiant longwear foundation by NARS pairs perfectly with star product Radiant Creamy Concealer. Offering a 16-hour fade-resistance with full-powered brightness, the amino acid coated pigments strongly adhere to skin, binding with a long-lasting effect.

From foundation to highlighter, using the right product can help you to achieve your desired look even when you are not on the cusp of youth… or finding new love.
