Glowing skin is alllllllways in, but especially so in summer! These are some of my favorite products to use for glowing skin that will wear well throughout the day. I encourage you to see what you have at home, but overall I recommend all of these if you’ve been interested. ☀️ Glossier. - Futuredew Oil Serum Hybrid It’s an oil-serum hybrid that is multi-use. It can be used under makeup, mixed with foundation, on top of makeup, or worn on the body. I find that it allows glow to shine through whatever is on top throughout the day. Ethereal! $24 COLOURPOP - Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Tinted Moisturizer I’ve reviewed this on Cherie before. It’s so good! Light coverage that evens out my skin tone. It wears well throughout the day and gives a slightly dewy finish. Works so well with creams or powders on top. $14 e.l.f. - Hydrating Camo Concealer is a 100% fave. I’ve mentioned it in other Cherie posts. Great coverage and never looks cakey because a little goes a long way. $6 Glossier. - Lidstar Glistening Eye Glow Though I think lidstars are a bit pricey for what they are, I do love the shade “cub”. It’s a beautiful rose gold that can be sheered out (like in my photos) or built up. I prepped my eyes with MILANI - MILANI Eyeshadow Primer . $18 for 1 or 2 for $30 (lidstar), $7 (primer) Milk MAKEUP - Matte Bronzer in “baked”. It’s the easiest cream bronzer to work with. I’ve been using it for over a year. You get an astounding amount of product for the price. Wish it came in more shades, though. $28 full size $15 mini (mine is full size) TOWER 28 - BeachPlease Tinted Lip + Cheek Balm in shade “happy hour”. I have another shade of these, too. They’re very pigmented but blend like a dream. I don’t like this shade on my lips but on the face it gives a “just sat out in the sun” dewy finish. girlactik - Skin Glow Duo duo in “moonlight”. I’ve had this for a while and it’s still kickin’ just fine. Love the two shades. They can be worn alone or layered. I layered on my cheeks in my photos, as well as applied to the inner corner of my eyes. What are your top glowing skin picks? #CheriePartner

I was looking at my feed & I quickly realized that somewhere along this journey of mine, my content has been more focused on skincare vs makeup. There’s no rhyme or reason except for the fact that my skin is finally in a good place where I don’t feel like I HAVE to cover it up all the time. But the love for makeup is, and always will be here! 💞 So I wanted to share with you all a new product combo that I’ve been enjoying! Touch in Sol just recently released a brand new foundation for their Pretty Filter collection; the Perfect Finish foundation. This foundation is FULL coverage, long wearing and matte - it completely covers pores, fine lines & wrinkles, leaving you with a flawless base. I love a full coverage matte foundation, especially in the colder months. But we are in spring, stepping into summer soon so I like to keep things more glowy looking. It’s no secret that I love adding Drunk Elephant’s D-Bronzi into my morning skincare routine to achieve a natural looking bronzed glow. I wanted to achieve a similar effect with this, so I add one pump of the Girlactik Creme De La Glow in Soleil - it’s the perfect product to add into your matte foundations just to give a little “umph” or life to the formula. The only reason why I can’t give the foundation a full 5 stars as much as I’d love to because the formula is truly BOMB is because of the shade range. It is 2020 and inclusivity should be standard practice at this point. Unfortunately there is only five shades which makes it incredibly difficult for everyone to find their perfect match. On the the upside, the foundation is pretty affordable, retailing for just $26 on their website. 🌸 Creme De La Glow from Girlactik is actually a liquid body shimmer, available in two shades, and the formula is incredible: no stickiness, no transfer, no greasiness, and blends out evenly & beautifully on the skin! It also comes in an airless pump component so there is absolutely no waste! It is hands down my favorite body glow / liquid body shimmer. Girlactik is a small indie makeup brand that is completely underrated. Galit, the founder of the brand, has been in the business of beauty for most of her career. Her brand continues to make revolutionary and innovative products that larger well known brands piggy back off of. For example, Girlactik was one of the original brands to first ever come out with a liquid lipstick! You can find their products directly on their site, as well as online at Macy’s! 🌸 touch in SOL - Pretty Filter Perfect Finish Foundation girlactik - Crème de La Glow Skin Body Shimmer

girlactik - Precise Marker Liner I’m normally pretty bad at applying eyeliner but I’ve been practicing since there’s not much else to do. I got this eyeliner in an Ipsy bag as a gift 🎁 Here are some things I liked 💖 Sharp pen point highly pigmented doesn’t fade and keeps its shape without smudging easy to apply and get a good point on it Here are some things I didn’t like 💔 when I had to fix a mistake I feel like it was so hard to remove! Had to rub hard on it and it moved the color around so there was black smudging! ( only smudges if you rub really hard with makeup remover! Obviously this is going to happen!) Apart from that I thought it was a really good liner and easy to use. My first time trying this brand and I’ve had the liner for quite some time now ( 2 months) and it hasn’t dried out yet. I would repurchase this & also try some other stuff from their brand ☺️
