1. Massage Your Moisturizer In — Don’t Just Rub and Go
Taking 30 extra seconds to really massage your moisturizer boosts circulation and wakes up dull skin. Think of it like a mini facial before your makeup — no tools, no shimmer, just glow from movement.

2. Rinse With Cool Water (Not Hot)
Hot water can leave your face blotchy and tired-looking. Finish your skincare with a splash of cool or lukewarm water — it helps calm the skin and leaves it looking firmer and more awake.

3. Apply Blush Just Above the Cheeks (Not On the Apples)
By sweeping your blush upward and slightly back — instead of directly on the apples — you give the illusion of lifted, glowing skin without piling on product. Bonus: it gives your whole face a refreshed shape.

4. Use a Damp Sponge to Press in Makeup, Not Just Blend
Instead of swiping or dragging product, gently press it into the skin using a damp sponge or clean fingers. This keeps foundation and blush from sitting on the skin and instead makes it part of your glow.

5. Add a Tiny Bit of Clear Lip Balm to Cheekbones or Eyelids
Dab just a little onto the high points of your cheeks or center of eyelids — it adds a natural, subtle sheen that mimics real hydration and light without a trace of shimmer.

💬 Radiance doesn’t need to sparkle. It just needs a little softness, smart placement, and the confidence to show up as you are.
