Layer moisture step by step
Remember the prep from lesson 2? Apply a light hydrating serum and moisturizer in two small layers, patting thoroughly. Make sure no excess cream sits on top so the base won't slide.

Apply a sheer hydrating base
Keep the foundation sheer as shown in lesson 5. Spread a glowing base from the center of the face outward, then tap with a damp sponge to press in the moisture and enhance radiance.

Highlight the 3 key glowing points
Take a tiny amount of liquid or balm highlighter on your fingertip. Lightly tap onto three key areas: the upper cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the tip of the chin.

Powder only areas prone to shine
Using the powder technique from lesson 9, sweep a small brush lightly over only the under-eyes, sides of the nose, brow bone, and jawline. Leave the cheekbones and nose bridge luminous.

- Greasiness is broad oil spreading over the face, whereas glass skin is targeted moisture reflection.
- Cream or balm highlighters look much more natural and dewy than coarse powder shimmers.
errorCommon mistake
Applying a heavy full-coverage foundation hides natural translucency and can look cakey when mixed with oils.
