Makeup Artist Bobbi Brown’s 5 Ways To Add Glow To Dull Skin

BY BOBBI BROWN, FOUNDER OF JONES ROAD BEAUTY

"I am pro-aging, getting older is a gift." - Bobbi

As we age, our beauty needs evolve. Instead of focusing on looking younger, we should focus on looking better.

Luckily, this is easy to achieve. We can start with using products that work well for our skin, living a healthy lifestyle, and embracing our features. Below are my top tips to help you look and feel your best.

1. Use Skincare, Makeup Hybrid Products

As we age, our skin changes and our beauty needs evolve. Our skin becomes drier, duller, and it loses collagen.

Traditional makeup can be very powdery and cakey, sinking into lines and making them look unnecessarily worse. By using skincare and makeup hybrid products, you are nourishing and replenishing your skin with moisture, instead of drying it out even more.

“I find that the old-school flat makeup can actually make a lot of women look older." - Bobbi

My suggestion? Swap the traditional, full coverage makeup for something lighter and moisturizing.

2. Use Less, Better Products

The more makeup you pack onto your face, the more mattifying it becomes - and that will actually take away your glow. By focusing on fewer, higher quality products, your face will be left feeling fresher, cleaner, and have more of a glow.

My suggestion? Find versatile beauty products that enhance your glow instead of covering it up.

3. Moisturize and Drink Lots Of Water

I firmly believe in beauty from the inside out. What we put in our bodies, what we eat, how we take care of our skin, and how much water we drink greatly affects how we look and feel. I aim to drink as much water as I can and always use moisturizer. It makes a big difference.

I now try to use makeup that also is skincare. That’s one reason why What The Foundation is so great, it’s equal parts skincare and makeup.

Most days I don’t even need another moisturizer, I just apply What The Foundtion as my step one. It gives me a little bit of color and a beautiful, healthy looking glow.

4.Embrace Your Features And Don't Cover Up

I don't believe that makeup should be used to cover up. I don't believe in contouring to change the shape of your face, and I don't like full coverage foundation that tries to cover up.

We all have beauty within us, so I like to use makeup to accentuate our best features and just provide some "support" where it can help without trying to mask or contour.

It's as much about confidence and feeling good in your skin as it is about how you look.

I love a glow on a fresh look that makes you feel confident. I don't think anyone feels or looks their best with flat makeup that strips the glow and sinks into wrinkles.

This is what makeup is all about: enhancing your features, not hiding them so you not only like how you look, but I want you to love how you feel.

5. Trust Reliable Sources

There’s no shortage of new, viral beauty products with bold claims, but I’ve found that the outcomes rarely live up to the hype in those products.

Instead, follow trustworthy guides to find the best makeup products for you. Makeup Artist, Bobbi Brown, has been a leader in this space for decades and knows a thing or two about how to make the highest quality products to accentuate your features.

Have Your Best Skin Day Every Day

What The Foundation couldn't be easier to use. I made it so anyone from a non-makeup person to a pro-makeup artist can use it. There are just a few simple steps.

First, use your index finger or the spatula to lift a pea sized amount of WTF. Apply the product directly to your face, avoiding the eyes, using either your fingers, the Skin Brush, or a dry sponge. Layer as needed.

How to pick your shade

Finding your shade is actually very easy. We have 16 shades; some that provide just a tint, some that are a blush, and some that are bronzers.

I made a 5-question quiz that takes a minute to complete and recommends your shades. The quiz makes it easy and accurate to find your best shades online.

If you are at hesitant to try this product, rest assured we have a 30 day free return policy and 45 day free exchanges so you can shop with confidence.
