Hey guys welcome back to my channel we are getting ready to glow up today
i'm gonna be going through my complete step-by-step
process on how i achieve this glow right here which i'm really excited to tell you guys about because like i said i'm going through
oils i'm going through moisturizer i'm going through these specific brushes that i recommend all my best tips and tricks and
post highlighting process so get really excited i'm using the brand new sigma beauty
Chroma glow palette i partnered up with sigma to bring you guys this video before the launch day even happens so this
palette is not launched yet mark your calendars because
honestly i think after you watch this video it's gonna speak for itself you're going to want this palette in your life because it is
just, it's beautiful let's go ahead and get into the video don't forget, to subscribe or write them lu
before we hop in and they go lega lega
lega to get that bomb ass butt lining highlight you definitely want to start your
highlighting process in your
Moisturizers in your skin prep that's what's gonna give you the most blue the most bang for your buck so i always like to go
In with the tarte drink of h2o hydrating boost i don't even know how many
Bottles or tubs of this i've gone through i have probably repurchase this i don't even know six seven times because it's
So bomb it's a gel moisturizer so it's great for oily skin types i have oily skin and i love it and it's really lightweight
So when you smooth it onto your skin you just get a lot of hydration a lot of doing this but it never makes your
makeup look too cakey or too heavy it's
Amazing, so i always like to do a little thin layer of that before i even start my foundation or primer and then primer gotta
go with a primer oil honestly when you're going for that super intense highlighted look primer oils are where it is at
So i love this one this is the smashbox photo finish primer oil this one is really nice because it's meant
To be a primer so it actually does have a little bit of a tackiness once you blend it into your skin but you definitely
get that do enos
that we're living for our last step in the skin prep i know this is a little bit of a process if you really want
that glow this is what you
So the last step is mac cosmetics strobe cream i again i've been using this for
years, now i think i've used this for
three four years
something like that it's an og product it's a really og product most professional makeup artists have something like this in their kit
Because it is honestly pretty incredible so this is actually a lotion and you can see it literally comes out as a lotion?
But when you rub it in it just gives the most beautiful luminosity, to the skin
i only place this on the high points of my face
this gives us a beautiful base for any highlighters that we're gonna be putting on top because it honestly just looks like you're
Glowing from within and this is the shade gold light so it does have some gold reflect in there there are a couple different shades
I believe but this one's definitely my favorite and the one that i get the most use out of
So do it up mac strobe cream okay those are all the steps that i take before i even start with
foundation i make a
Bronzer everything like that but once i finish off the base of the makeup and i'm ready to go to highlighters i always
always like to use a liquid highlighter
before a powder highlighter so this is a liquid highlighter that i've been using a lot lately this is the sigma beauty liquid highlighter in
the shade afterglow this one's really nice because you can actually apply it over powder and it still blends in really nicely i usually apply
this just with my fingertip because i feel like the warmth of my finger will really press the product into the skin and again
just, allow everything to blend together really really nice and easy you can see that in itself rt brings us
To such a nice starting point when it comes to the highlighter and i really feel like
liquid highlighters or cream colors whatever you want to use
will make a difference when you're applying your powder highlighters on top trust me on this guys this technique is
going
To do the justice it's gonna be good now moving on to our powder highlight i'm gonna be using the sigma beauty it chroma glow
highlight palette oh my god you guys these highlighters are out of this
Frickin world i just want you guys, to see this?
yeah, there are six different shades in here and honestly they're very like unique shades but i still feel like they're super wearable they're so
pretty they were telling
that one kills me that's like unicorn
dreams right there but they were telling me that these are actually they're loose shimmers press down into powder form and that's why they're so
pigmented like these are metallic highlighters if you like a metallic
bright shining blinding highlight this is what you need in yo life i
love that one i like this one for a blush i'll probably use it for my blush today that's another little trick well i'm kind
of jumping ahead but that is another trick that you can do if you really want
just an all-over glow use a
highlighter like this that's a little bit more you know coppery toned and use it as a blush topper i
love all the shades in this palette i think that they're really unique they're not just like your typical
Highlighter shades which i think is really cool to just kind of like think outside the box but before we even get to the application
I need to tell you guys about my brushes that i recommend because honestly i've said this so many times throughout my channel but?
brushes are your best friend brushes are your tools
brushes
Are there to help you they're there to guide you they're gonna make your makeup application
So much easier especially if you use the right brushes
so these are the three highlight brushes that you
Need in your life my friends you need them in your life so the first is my strobing
Fan f42 from sigma i don't even know how many times i've talked about this guy but it is so
incredible you guys i have never used a highlighter brush like this it's a very small
Precise fan brush i literally have two extras right here because if i ever
Did not have this brush i don't know what i would do like i would honestly go into panic mode
Because this is the most incredible highlighter brush so basically what i love about it is that it's really small so you get
precision when you're applying your highlighter but because it still has that beautiful
Fan shape about it you're getting it an airbrush finish so it really does blend out the edges nicely and it just makes everything look
Perfected it's incredible if you don't have it in your life please do yourself a favor i will have them linked below along with any
discount codes that i have for sigma my discount code is
theresa so
be sure to use that at the checkout it is an affiliate code which just means that i make like a small percentage of the
commission but you guys can trust me i would never ever in my life recommend something that i
genuinely love like genuinely love and i think y'all know by now this is right or die
ride or die so
moving on to my slightly less loved but still equally as
important to highlight are brushes these aren't actually meant for highlighting but they definitely are essentials for my
Highlighting routines so the first one that i'll talk about is the sigma small tapered blending e45 this one i use to
really pinpoint like the tops of the cheekbones the brow bone down the center of the nose anywhere that is a
specific high point so i'll take this one first and just go in and pinpoint it and then i blend it out with this blend
Out all the edges just to make sure everything is just
perfect and
how i want it i'm getting very pass throughout this video because you guys know i love
highlighting i live for highlighting and it's just a strong strong i feel i feel very strongly about this video my last
Essential when it comes to highlighting brushes is actually a pencil brush this one's the e30 from sigma and this one i use to
even more precisely go over those areas that i just hushed up
just dropped like four things
So this one i use in the inner corners i'll use this on the tip of the nose?
Right here on the cupid's bow and then anywhere else that i feel needs a little extra the smaller you have your brush the more
precise and the more blinding that highlight is going to be deposited into that area which i think is really important to
Understand and remember so when you're going with this guy
it's gonna be blinding it's going to blind all the haters in your life and make them just shut the door and i
don't know where i'm going with this but you guys know i mean it's really really gonna do something for you and
that's why you need these in your life time for some application i'm gonna take this highlighter
To the next level right now
So i'm gonna be using the shade
bedazzle which is this guy down here it's a really pretty peachy shade and i'm taking that on that sigma e45 and
really pinpointing the top of the cheekbone down the center of the
A little bit on the chin and a little bit above the eyebrow then i like to go in and
blend out those edges i did pick up a little bit of the shade peaceful which is the lightest shade in the palette whoa
The key to achieving a really nice
Blinding highlight that looks like your skin like you don't want it to look just like a stripe of highlight you want it to look
like it's just melting into your skin and the key to doing that is that technique of applying precisely and then
blending it out just so that it really creates a nice layer of highlights and just starts to look like glorified sweat i
mean that in the best way possible and you guys know a drill by now for those
smaller areas the more precise areas i go back in with the e30 and
I just, do some precision
Highlighting so especially on the cupid's bow the inner corner of the eyes and then right on that brow bone and like i mentioned before
i also go in and add just a little bit of the shade lush which is that really pretty coppery shade
right, to the apples of the cheeks the most important part of this whole
highlighting routine is the after portion the post highlight these two products are really gonna take your highlight to the next
level like we're already pretty much beaming throughout the whole universe right now but honestly with these guys
People are gonna have to wear sunglasses
when they pass you by on the street cuz you're gonna be
glowing to that extent the first one that i really want to recommend to you guys is the tatcha luminous
dewy skin mist this guy i feel like is such an og product you've probably heard it talked about before but it
Really is incredible i spray it all over my body and it just gives you the most beautiful
glow but it really does like melt down
powders or any type of highlighter that you have on and just make it look
wet you just need two sprays of this because this stuff is pricey so you don't want to use too much honestly but just a
little
that's it
Soak it in soak in all the goodness and then this is not optional this is not an option if you are a rock star
if you're a true rock star you need this in your life i've probably gone through
20 bottles of this in my lifetime it is mac cosmetics
prep and prime fix plus setting spray or i don't think it's called a setting spray but it's fixed plus i use it as a
setting spray most days because this will help melt down any powders on your and to make it look like your skin is just
Beaming this stuff my bathing like i honestly use half the bottle in one sitting so we're just gonna go for it
