Achieving glowing skin is no easy feat, but achieving glowing skin that’ll look flawless on camera? Almost impossible. Fortunately, @milkeu_tea who recently went viral for her radiant selfies on Instagram, just shared her totally inexpensive secret for taking the perfect glowy selfie – let’s check out her top tips!
According to @milkeu_tea, the first step to taking a glowy selfie, is creating a dewy, light base with a tinted moisturiser or BB cream. She uses Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream ($15.90). Step 2 is all about highlighter. You’ll need a cream or liquid formula for best results, much like @milkeu_tea‘s Maybelline’s Master Strobing Stick ($18.90). If you’re using a strobing stick, the team recommends warming the product up with your fingertips before tapping it onto the highest points of your face. Doing so will help the highlighter melt into your skin more seamlessly as opposed to swiping it on directly from the stick – creating that natural, glowy finish.
Now, the final most important step to pop that highlight is to find a sunny location to shoot your selfie. The more sunlight the better. “This honestly makes the biggest difference,” @milkeu_tea wrote. She even showed the difference between indoor lighting and direct sunlight in her post, and damn, it does make a difference. After taking your selfie, @milkeu_tea suggests upping the warmth level of the picture before posting it on the gram. This “makes you look so fucking sun kissed and glowy,” she explained.
Check out the full rundown on how to take the perfect glowy selfie below. Now that you’re equipped with some top tips, may your next Instagram selfie glow for the gods.
