I figured this post was pretty fitting since Mrs. Jennifer Lopez (J.Lo – does she still go by that nickname these days, I don’t know, but it’s catchy) just got named the “World’s Most Beautiful Woman” by People magazine. So why wouldn’t you want to get glowing skin like her- right??
Not a bad title for a 41 year old mother of twins huh?? For some reason it gives me a sense of pride that an over 40, mother of two, was given such an honor as opposed to a 20-something starlet who hasn’t earned their stars and stripes. But that’s the over 30 yr old mom in me;-) I completely agree that Lopez has gotten better with age.
As I’ve been watching American Idol (for the hundredth season), I’ve been amazed by Jennifer’s skin and how it glowy it seems.
So I wanted to share with all of you, my step-by-step tips for getting gorgeous and glowing from within:
1. Start with a skin primer. I used Cover Girl and Olay’s Simply Ageless Serum and Primer ($13.99) before applying my foundation and concealer. This makes all of the other products work to their maximum potential! Make sure to put your concealer under your eyes as well as around the corners of your nose and your mouth to block out any redness or broken capillaries.
2. Wear smokey copper colored eyes for warmth. I used Too Faced Natural Eye Collection ($35) colors for my eye bed. I lined the lower lash line with the gold color, Honey Pot, for some extra shimmery eyes. These colors make the warmth seem like it comes from within. The eyes speak for themselves.
3. Add some shimmer, bronzer, and some peachy blush to make the face happy. All of the pics above show how bronzer and highlighter work together to make the glow most obvious without looking overboard shiny. The tip is to use it in small amounts so you look like you have a “glow”, not a “shine.”
Glow from within ladies! Make how you feel inside show on the outside.
