Get Glowy Skin Like Blake Lively

Jan 21, 2012 @ 10:00 am

At a screening of Haywire in New York City, Blake Lively‘s flawless complexion was front and center, even in the dead of winter. If your skin is naturally clear, a tinted foundation topped with a sheer highlighting powder can take it to the next level. The lightweight lotion will even skin tone and lend extra radiance; a gentle dusting of powder brightens dull areas and can provide a bit of extra coverage. Apply powder in a polishing motion, using small circular motions to ensure it’s fully blended and doesn’t settle into fine lines. For more tips on how to make your skin look its best, click through the gallery!
