Sam's Healthy Glow

Sam's Healthy Glow tutorial is a glowing natural look inspired by the warmth of sun on a summer day, when your skin is perfectly dewy and your natural beauty shines!  Watch it here to see how Sam uses simple tricks with her Real Techniques brushes to create a dewy makeup effect - and learn some amazing tricks, like how to use glitter for eyes (and make it last!) and how to apply cream eyeshadow and blush.
Below, we'll take you step-by-step through Sam's tutorial and makeup choices.

Flawless Finish:

• Using your Essential Foundation Brush, apply a tinted moisturizer to even out skin tone for a smooth, natural glow.  Sam uses Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 (1) for ~$42.

Enhanced Eyes:

• Keep brows natural by using your Lash-Brow Groomer to brush through and shape brows.
• Tip > Real Techniques brushes are perfect for cream makeup products - ideal for creating that dewy look!  For enhanced eyes, use your Base Shadow Brush to smooth on a warm eyeshadow tone.  Sam uses shades fromLaura Mercier's Bonne Mine cream palette (2) for ~$48.
• Curl eyelashes using your favorite eyelash curler (Sam uses MAC's Full Lash Curler, ~$16).
• Softly line your eyes with a brown liner.  Sam uses Bourjois eyeliner in Bronze, but you might have an easier time finding Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Bourbon (3) for ~$19.
• Try brown mascara for an effortless look.  Sam uses Barbara Daly's, but you might have an easier time finding Benefit BADgal in Deep Brown (4) for ~$19.00. Comb lashes through with your Lash-Brow Groomer's precise eyelash comb.
• Tip > Add glow to your eyes with this professional technique! Apply sparkle by using your Shading Brush to gently press on a crystal glitter.  Sam uses MAC Reflect Glitter in Pearl (5) for ~$21.00.

Perfect Finish:

• Finish your flawless base by using your Pointed Foundation Brush to swipe on concealer where you need it.  Sam uses MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer (6) for ~$16.50.
• Use your ingenious Kabuki Brush open to smooth on a cream bronzer - it fits perfectly into the contours of your cheekbones.  Close the brush for a delicate touch of bronzer around the face.  Sam uses a cream from Laura Mercier's Bonne Mine cream palette (2) for ~$48.
• Tip > Your Stippling Brush is the perfect tool for creating a perfect, glowing finish.  Use it to create an airbrushed look with a luminizing product.  Sam uses Make Up For Ever Uplight (7).
• Use your Buffing Brush to finish with a cream blush.  Sam uses a blush from Laura Mercier's Bonne Mine cream palette (2) for ~$48.
• Wrap up your natural look with a sheer sweep of clear gloss, using your Detailer Brush.  Sam uses MAC Lipglass (8) for ~$14.50.
