Natural, Glowy Makeup with 5 Products!

Less is always more when it comes to makeup, especially in the summer. Today - a natural, glowy makeup with 5 easy-to-use products from Almay! Almay is well-known for its range of "smart shade" makeup - a line that melds with the colour of your skin upon application. Cool, eh? 

Products Used: Almay Smart Shade CC Luminous Primer, Almay Smart Shade Skintone Matching Makeup in 200 Light/Medium, Almay Smart Shade CC Concealer + Brightener in 200 Light/Medium, Almay Smart Shade Powder Blush in 10 Pink, Almay Liquid Lip Balm in 700 Cantaloupe

< one > The Almay Smart Shade CC Luminous Primer is a pink-toned primer is perfect for cancelling and correcting the yellow tones on my face. The primer itself has a slight hint of coverage to even out the skintone and add luminosity.

< two > The Almay Smart Shade Skintone Matching Makeup in 200 Light/Medium is pretty amazing. Out of the tube, the product is white but as blend the product into the skin, little beads of pigment pop to match to your face. The end-result is slightly light and overly pink for my summer tan but since the coverage is fairly light the shade difference is unnoticeable. The product yields a natural satin finish (neither matte nor dewy). 

< three > The Almay Smart Shade CC Concealer + Brightener in 200 Light/Medium is a concealer duo. One side is an orange-salmon toned concealer and the other is a cream pink-toned highlighter. I apply the concealer underneath my eyes and the brightener at the tops of my cheekbones, on the eyelids as eyeshadow and on the cupids bow of the lip for some soft-focus highlighting. 

< four > The Almay Smart Shade Powder Blush in 10 Pink is so fool-proof that you could pile it onto your face and it would still look natural..But be forewarned, there's quite a bit of chunky glitter. 

< five > To complete the look, the Almay Liquid Lip Balm in 700 Cantaloupe is a light orange. It's sheer enough that it adds the slightest bit of an orange tint to the lips. I've used it in a natural makeup look but I can imagine it would pair well with a dark grey smokey eye. 

All in all, Fuss-free shade matching and flattering tones make for a simple makeup look. These 5 products work perfectly together to create a natural, glowy make up look!
