This new makeup trend is taking over Instagram and soon, it’ll be one of your favorite steps in your beauty routine.

To start layering your face gloss, Lori Leib, a professional makeup artist and the creative director of Bodyography, recommends using a base that matches the texture of your face gloss. “If I use a face gloss or creamy highlighter, I prefer to layer it on a dewy foundation formula,” she tells Elite Daily.
The next best way to up your glow is by hydrating with either a day cream or facial oil. Then, you’ll want to layer on sunscreen, like Bodyography’s Tinted Moisturizer ($33, Bodyography). This will create a dewy foundation that’ll let your face gloss shine.
Once you get your face gloss, Leib suggests using your fingers or a small, flat brush to gently place your gloss. Because a little gloss goes a long way, either of these methods will allow you to carefully place the gloss in a controlled way.
