Your Instant Bare Glow: How To Use Our Buzzy New Collection

By Jen Anderson | May 2, 2019

There’s nothing more enviable than an all-over glow that seems to radiate from the inside out. Unfortunately, a monthly rejuvenating vacation in Fiji doesn’t agree with our schedules (or our wallets), so we like to use bronzers and highlighters for a natural-looking (and totally sunless) glow.

That’s why we dreamed up the Clean Glow collection, a summer-ready assortment of innovative pressed and liquid bronzers and highlighters and a Kombucha-infused setting spray. Each product is designed for mixing, blending and layering to create a custom glow.

Just in time for the sunny weather ahead, we’ve compiled our favorite ways to use the new collection.

Double Up on Liquid and Powder Highlighter

The right way to maximize shimmer? Layers are the key to a luminous, never-shiny look. After your foundation, but before applying any powder products, dot on your BAREPRO GLOW liquid bronzer and highlighter. Then, after applying the rest of your face makeup, go back over the same places you applied the liquid with ENDLESS SUMMER Bronzer and ENDLESS GLOW Highlighter for added oomph. This trick also works for refreshing your look throughout the day — just toss the pressed formulas in your bag to revive your glow on the go.

Use Primer or Setting Spray to Make Your Highlighter *POP*

Just like primer and setting spray prevent your foundation and eyeshadow from fading or creasing, they can also help highlighter last well past the A.M. Before applying BAREPRO GLOW Highlighter, dab on a very light layer of liquid primer — like our PRIME TIME Foundation Primer — to the high points of your face. To enhance pressed formulas, spray your brush with DEW MIST Setting Spray after swirling in the pan and press onto the high points of your cheeks for next-level luminosity.

Don’t Forget the Rest of Your Body

Why give your face all of the attention when you can just as easily add some shine to your shoulders, arms and legs? For an eye-catching detail with off-the-shoulder or strapless tops, use your hands to rub a light layer of BAREPRO GLOW Highlighter on the tops of your shoulders and clavicles. For a subtle, sun-kissed body bronzer, add a pump or two of BAREPRO GLOW Bronzer to your everyday moisturizer before applying to arms and legs. It’s the perfect bronze for weekend brunch, if you ask us.

Mix Liquid Bronzer with Face Oil for No-Makeup Days

Some days, we’re all about the full-face makeup look. But when the weather gets warm, we just want a fresh, easy look. On those days, it’s all about making skincare do the work. As a last step in your skincare routine, mix a half a pump of BAREPRO GLOW Bronzer (or liquid highlighter if you’re on the fair side) with face oil. Distribute the mixture evenly for an “I woke up like this” radiance.

Coordinate Your Eye Makeup with Your Face Makeup

No shade to eyeshadow, but highlighter can look just as good on the eyes as any shimmering neutral shadow. For a wash of eye color, use a fluffy blender brush to apply a darker shade of ENDLESS GLOW Highlighter from the lid to the crease. Then, dip a flat detail eyeshadow brush in the same highlighter shade you used on your cheeks and dab on the inner corners of the eyes and below the brows. One minute eye makeup? Check.
