Let's admit it. Trying to achieve makeup looks, such as YouTube's top beauty gurus is hard. Especially, when it comes to getting the effortless flawless glow that they seem to achieve so easily. Now that it is still winter, and the sun-kissed tan has officially disappeared, it seems so much harder. Even though it is winter, it doesn’t mean that I nor you can’t achieve a “natural” glow with your makeup.
Creating glowy skin is what I seek to achieve every day! Is it so bad that I want my face to look as soft and smooth as a baby's butt? Not saying that I always want to have a glam look, but I do enjoy my skin having a flawless, natural finish. I have been perfecting my natural glow all winter. With the products I use, it is easy to turn your look from day to night, soft to full glam. If you are a beginner with makeup or just want to try out some new products, here are some great, everyday products that I use to get my “natural,” glowy skin!
What are some of your favorite makeup looks and products? Comment below because I am always looking forward to hearing from you guys!

MAC COSMETICS FIX+
This spray is one if not the best setting spray I have tried. The great thing about this spray is that it can also be applied to eyeshadow brushes, so the shadow will become more pigmented and prevent less fall out.
CLINIQUE MOISTURIZING GEL
The key to a natural, flawless look is in the base of your makeup. That means what you wear as a primer and foundation is important! If you are laying down a layer of foundation on dry or oily skin, your foundation can and will come off as cakey. I have been using this baby since day one and it has yet to disappoint. Clinique Moisturizing Gel is a good product, especially if you're like me and have dry skin. The brand also offers various other face-cleaning products.
STUDIO FIX FLUID SPF 15
This is an 8-hour long-wear, full-coverage foundation with buildable coverage. Ever since I've been using this foundation, my skin looks better than it ever has with previously used foundations. It can even be put to better use during this summer because it has an SPF 15 included in the formula.
THE JACLYN HILL EYESHADOW PALETTE
Jacklyn Hills has hit the nail on the head with this diverse pallet! This pallet includes 35 different shades and can create many different looks. There are mattes, shimmers, satins, foils, and glitters, all in ONE palette. On top of that, the eyeshadows are so freakin' pigmented!
L'OREAL PARIS VOLUMINOUS LASH PARADISE
I easily can compare this drugstore mascara to Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, except it's cheaper! It is formula curls, lengthens, and thickens lashes. The spoolie de-clumps and is an easy applicator.
ANASTASIA DIPBROW POMADE
If you don't know about Pomade, then now you do! Anastasia has the best products for eyebrows. I can easily shape my eyebrows using this product. And your man can take you swimming while wearing it because the Pomade is smudge-free and waterproof!
PATRCIKSTARRR SET POWDER
I adore Patrick Starrr and his MAC collection powder does not disappoint. The formula is fine and soft with a peach undertone. When I set my under-eye, it not only brightens the area but also softens the face.
MAC COSMETICS GOLD DEPOSIT
We all want our highlight poppin'! I find that this highlight gives a bronzy, glowy, and natural accent to the skin. This highlighter will look amazing on any woman of color. I find that some highlighters are dry, but this highlighter is creamy and luminous. However, do not go too heavy with the highlighter because no one wants to look like a glowing disco ball.
BLACK OPAL- RUE COLOR SKIN PERFECTING STICK FOUNDATION SPF15
Even though this is a contour stick, it is perfect for contouring and sculpting the cheekbones. The formula is moisturizing and is an easily blendable, velvet, matte finish.
It is almost February and that means Spring is almost upon us!
