The post facial glow you have after receiving a professional skincare treatment is one that everyone should experience in their lifetime. You’ll marvel at how amazing your skin looks and how soft it feels and wonder why it took you so long to book that appointment in the first place. But then you’ll look at the costs and come back down to earth and remind yourself that although professional treatments produce amazing results, they usually require multiple sessions, which doesn’t always fit into the budget. 

Summer isn’t just a season, it’s a lifestyle. From the clothes, to the activities, to the long, sunny days, we love being able to swap our snow clothes for swimsuits and enjoy more time outdoors. In the same way you swap out your wardrobe, summer is the perfect time to swap out products. Don’t do anything drastic (like changing your ENTIRE routine) but take a good look at the products you’re using and see if maybe a few can stand an upgrade to compete with the heat, sweat and sun.

It’s a fact of life, everybody makes mistakes. But some could be wreaking havoc on your skin without you even realizing it. So instead of ignoring our issues, let’s get your skincare routine on the right path and learn from our mistakes, shall we?

For Spring '19, we're loving neutrals with pops of color. One of our newest Desk to Datenight kits, Bon Voyage, features a warm palette with a pop of coral (on trend with Pantone's Color of the Year, Living Coral). This introductory kit includes four expertly chosen products that make getting ready for day or night a breeze. With a mini Shadow Quad and full size Blush, Precision Lip Pencil and Gloss, you'll be ready for wherever your journey may lead.

Looking for your next great adventure? Then set sail with our latest Desk to Datenight kit, Hey, Sailor. This collection provides gorgeous shades that remind us of deep waves and sandy shores, with bronzed neutrals and a pop of deep navy. You'll have no trouble getting ready for work or a night on the town with our expertly chosen kit that features a mini Shadow Quad and full size Blush, Precision Lip Pencil and Gloss.

Waking up to with a pimple emergency is never any fun. Sure, it’s not the end of the world but it can be a blow to your confidence for the day. Not to mention the added stress when it comes at the same time as a particularly big event like a work meeting or date.

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, our office is buzzing with talk of Thursday night plans. For most people, Valentine’s Day can be a polarizing holiday- some plan months ahead for the perfect evening, with dreams of chocolates, roses and maybe even engagement rings in their future, while others choose to spend time with friends or even alone, fully embracing the #selflove mantra. We feel the same way, which is why we created 3 easy looks so that you can enjoy Valentine's Day no matter your plans for the evening.

Whether you watched the big game yesterday because you love football, love somebody who loves football or just had nothing better to do, we can bet you probably noticed a fully stocked buffet and bar. Game day snacks and refreshments are almost as important as the game itself and we all know how tempting it can be to ditch your diet for the day and indulge. If you’re like us, feel free to admit that you threw caution to the wind and had yourself a day (and night)- we’re here to help you restore your skin for good.

When it comes to New Year’s Eve, we love going all out with our look. Sure, staying home and relaxing can be great but getting made up to ring in the new year is hard to beat. While some of you may have had your outfits planned since Thanksgiving, we know there are a few of you who may still be searching for that perfect beauty look for your big night out.

When building a skincare regimen, it is essential to first determine your skin type if you want to see the best results from your products. Similarly, buying products that also address your unique skin concerns can drastically improve how you feel about your products. If you have oily, acneic skin, you’re likely going to hate a rich face moisturizer because it will exacerbate your concerns instead of alleviating them. Without knowing your skin type and skin concerns, it is almost impossible to choose the right products. Especially because there are some products that sound appealing even when they’re not meant for your skin type. If you fall for the benefits without considering your skin type you will be upset when the product doesn’t perform how you want.

April is without a doubt a ‘spring’ month, but with all the rainy days, it can seem a little more gloomy than one would hope. If you’re struggling to get into the springtime mood and not yet ready to break out your pastels and florals, we suggest looking at our Bon Voyage Eye Shadow Quad to achieve an easy spring eye shadow look. It’s the perfect neutral palette to complement any skin tone, with hints of cream, blush, taupe and brown. Use one or two colors for a simple wash over the eye lids or amp it up for a softer version of your favorite smokey eye.

With the fairly recent rise in #InstaBrows, it should come as no surprise that the brows are an incredibly important feature of the face. Aside from their health benefits (keeping sweat, water and debris out of your eyes), eyebrows are vital to conveying emotion through nonverbal communication.

It’s easy to grab a red lip and call yourself Valentine’s Day ready, but this year, we wanted to amp up our usual date night routine for something a little more dramatic- without adding any extra time. Enter the dark red lip. It’s not your usual bright, blue-red hue, but a rich, cool red that adds depth and dimension to any look. Pair it with a vibrant plum-berry liner and you’ve just transformed your look into something unexpected- we know your valentine will love!

Some things in life are just better together: peanut butter and jelly, a smoky eye and nude lip and our Boost: Repair and Boost: Hydrate serums. If you have followed the release of our new Daily Power C and Daily Power C+ Vitamin C serums, you’ll know that skin concerns like early signs of aging, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture are all caused by free radicals we encounter every day. Incorporating a Vitamin C product into your daily skincare routine is one of the best ways to protect skin from these environmental damages.

Highlighting and contouring has been a popular topic in the beauty industry. From celebrities to YouTube stars, everyone seems to have tips and tricks for creating the perfectly highlighted and contoured face. Glo Skin Beauty has a perfect step-by-step guide on contouring and highlighting featuring our Senior Global Makeup Artist & Educator, Janeena Billera, with our Liquid Bright Concealer.

We love a golden summer glow as much as the next person, but there is more than one way to get that bronzed look. Instead of tanning (remember, there’s no such thing as a safe tan!), stick with a spray or airbrush tan and add some warmth into your everyday makeup routine. Sort through your cosmetics collection and find gold, bronze and copper shades, everything from eye shadow to lip gloss.

From an everyday office look to a dramatic smoky eye for a night out, Glo Skin Beauty Cream Stay Shadow Sticks can be used as a primer, shadow and liner to create effortless looks that complement any wardrobe. Today we’re sharing our tips for applying these cream eye shadows for buildable, blendable, all-day eye wear.

By now we’re all familiar with multi-masking, applying various masks on different areas of the face to treat multiple skin concerns. Guess what? Priming is now personalized, too! Anyone can prime like a pro with Glo’s signature Block Priming Technique.

It doesn’t take much color to create a big impact. With this fun and flirty Valentine’s Day makeup look we subtly enhanced the eyes using neutrals and went big on the lips with an electric watermelon shade. This look is all about lips and lashes!
