If you've ever wanted that fresh, radiant "nothing on" look, yet still looking perfectly groomed, healthy, and well-groomed, then this blog is for you. Trends like "glass skin" and "dewy look" have been ruling the beauty scene for years, and for good reason: they focus on the health and natural beauty of the skin, rather than covering up imperfections with layers of makeup. The good news? To achieve this effect, you don't need an arsenal of products, but a few quality skincare favorites and a few tricks that will give your skin that fresh glow from within.
Below, we reveal how daily skin care can become your best makeup base and how to combine hydration, natural pigments, and lightweight textures for the perfect glow. The tips are ideal for daytime outings, dates, weddings, summer parties, or simply days when you want to feel beautiful without any effort.
1. Skin preparation: the foundation of every glow look
Radiant skin starts with proper care. If the skin is tired, dehydrated or rough, not even the best highlighter will save it. That's why the glow routine should be started from scratch.
Preparation steps:
- Thorough cleansing: uses a mild but deep cleanser that does not dry out the skin. The cleansing foam of the La PIEL LAB collection is ideal for morning and evening face washing.
- Toning: helps restore the pH balance and prepares the skin for hydration
- Serum: hyaluronic acid, vitamin C or niacinamide are excellent choices for daily glow and even complexion
- Moisturizing cream: lock in moisture in the skin and prepare it for further make-up steps
- Facial massage: Gua Sha stone, rollers or fingers can stimulate microcirculation, reduce puffiness and give a natural lifting effect
2. GLOW cream as a base and a glow in one
Recommended product: La PIEL GLOW face cream
La PIEL GLOW cream is a true multitasker: a light daily moisturizer, a luminous makeup base and a delicate highlighter in one. Enriched with reflective pigments, vitamins and hydrating ingredients, this cream gives the skin a "lit-from-within" effect.
How to use:
- Apply it as the last step of your care, instead of a base
- For a stronger glow effect, use it over foundation on strategic points of the face
- You can mix it with light BB creams or liquid foundations to create a personalized glow
- Ideal for dry and normal skin types, while for oily skin we recommend using it on targeted areas
3. Oil highlighter for a subtle glow
Recommended product: La PIEL THEIA oil highlighter
THEIA is an oil that combines care and make-up. It contains natural nourishing oils and fine shimmer particles that reflect light and emphasize the structure of the face without a greasy feel. It is ideal for a subtle but noticeable glow.
How to use:
- Apply a small amount with your fingers or a sponge to the tops of your cheekbones, above your upper lip, on your eyelids or above your eyebrows
- You can mix it with GLOW cream or powder for an all-day glow
- It is also perfect for the body: décolleté, shoulders, lower legs
Additional tip:
- Use it as a liquid eyeshadow for a "wet look" effect on the eyelids
- For a bridal look: mix with body lotion and apply all over your body
4. Kabuki Brush for Perfect Blending
Recommended Product: La PIEL Kabuki Brush
Without a good tool, there is no perfect application. The Kabuki Brush from the La PIEL collection has a thick, silky head that blends skincare and make-up without a trace. It is ideal for all liquid, creamy and oily textures.
Tips:
- Lightly "tap" the brush with the product instead of smearing it
- Use circular movements for flawless blending
- Clean the brush regularly (at least once a week) to avoid the accumulation of bacteria
Bonus trick:
- You can also use the Kabuki brush to blend cream blushes or bronzers for a natural "sun-kissed" effect
5. Shimmering Body Oils: Radiant Skin from Head to Toe
Glow doesn't have to stop at your face. Your entire body can look more nourished, smooth, and sensual with a few drops of the right oil.
Recommended product: La PIEL Beach BABE Shimmering Body Oil
This dry oil absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a greasy film, and leaves your skin shiny and soft to the touch. It's the perfect addition to summer nights out, photo shoots, festivals, and special occasions.
How to use:
- Apply to collarbones, lower legs, upper arms, and décolleté
- For an extra glow, mix it with body lotion
- Ideal with dresses, strapless tops, and casual boho outfits
Less is more (when you know what you're using)
A natural glow isn't just reserved for makeup enthusiasts, makeup artists, or influencers. With a few smartly chosen products and a little routine, each of us can achieve the effect of glowing, healthy, and youthful skin. Hydration, radiant pigments, reflective textures, and the right tools are the keys to success.
Whether you're going on a date, a business meeting, the beach, a romantic wedding, or simply want your skin to look "awakened and vibrant," GLOW cream, THEIA highlighter, Beach BABE shimmer oil, and Kabuki brush are your allies for a glow that can't go unnoticed.
Because the best makeup starts with well-nourished skin. ✨
