How Do I Look Glowy Without Looking Oily?
“How do I look glowy without looking oily?”
Quick answer
Look glowy not oily by hydrating well, mattifying only the T-zone, applying cream highlight on cheekbones (not forehead), and using setting spray instead of all-over powder. Blot midday oil instead of adding more glow products.
Step-by-step
- 1
Zone your base
Mattifying primer on forehead, nose, chin; hydrating primer on cheeks.
- 2
Sheer base
Skin tint beats full coverage for controlled radiance on combination skin.
- 3
Highlight placement
Cream highlight on cheekbones and optional nose tip—skip the center of forehead.
- 4
Maintain balance
Blot T-zone, leave cheek glow. Setting spray on perimeter, not all over oily zones.
