Below, you’ll find each hack explained in detail, easy ways to do them at home, and curated product suggestions in 💎 luxury, 💖 midrange, and 🕊 budget tiers to fit every beauty lifestyle. Whether you're prepping for a girls’ brunch, a romantic evening, or just want to feel radiant before a Zoom meeting, these tips are here to elevate your glow.
✨ Hack 1: Mix Liquid Highlighter with Your Moisturizer
This glow hack is perfect for mornings when your skin looks a bit flat or you want to fake 8 hours of sleep. By adding a few drops of liquid highlighter into your regular moisturizer, you get an instant radiant boost without looking glittery or overdone. Instead of sitting on top of your skin, the glow blends seamlessly and leaves you looking like you just stepped off a beach holiday or woke up from a luxury facial.
Why it works:
This method combines hydration and illumination. Moisturizer plumps your skin, while the highlighter adds a soft focus effect that diffuses imperfections. Together, they reflect light naturally and make your skin look smoother, fresher, and more even-toned.
How to do it at home:
Take a pea-sized amount of your daily facial moisturizer.
Add 1–2 drops of your favorite liquid highlighter.
Mix the two together on the back of your hand.
Apply to your face using fingertips or a damp beauty sponge.
Pro Tip: Apply it while your skin is still slightly damp from toner or essence — this helps the glow blend in like a second skin and gives that dewy, plump finish.
Product suggestions:
💎 Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter — for a lit-from-within glow that photographs beautifully.
💖 L’Oreal Lumi Glotion — a lightweight glow lotion with skincare benefits.
🕊 e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter — a fantastic dupe with hydration and soft radiance.
🌈 Hack 2: Use a Chilled Jade Roller After Serum
A jade roller may feel like a TikTok trend, but it’s actually rooted in centuries-old traditional Chinese skincare. It has real benefits when used consistently and correctly. When chilled, it helps boost blood circulation, reduces puffiness, and gives you a natural, healthy flush — all while helping your serums absorb better.
Why it works:
Cold therapy reduces inflammation and encourages lymphatic drainage, which helps de-puff and sculpt your face. The roller also presses your serum deeper into the skin, making it more effective and enhancing hydration.
How to do it at home:
Place your jade roller in the fridge for 10–15 minutes (or store it there overnight).
Apply a hydrating serum or essence to clean skin.
Roll gently upward and outward across your face, focusing on cheekbones, jawline, and under eyes.
Use light pressure and allow the cool stone to wake up tired skin. It’s a quick morning ritual that makes you feel fresh and pulled together in just a few minutes.
Bonus Tip: Use the smaller end of the roller for under your eyes, temples, and around the mouth to target fine lines and swelling.
Product suggestions:
💎 Skin Gym Amethyst Face Roller — known for durability and a cooling, soothing feel.
💖 Mount Lai De-Puffing Jade Roller — a classic and beautifully crafted tool.
🕊 Amazon Basics Jade Roller & Gua Sha Set — effective and affordable starter set.
🌟 Hack 3: Tap Facial Oil onto Cheekbones for a Natural Dew
Facial oil isn’t just for nighttime routines or dry skin types. When used in small, intentional amounts, it creates the most ethereal, candlelit glow — especially on the high points of your face. Unlike shimmery highlighters, facial oils reflect natural light without looking artificial.
Why it works:
Facial oils mimic the skin’s natural lipid barrier and help lock in moisture while giving your complexion a subtle shine. When strategically placed, they act like a light reflector — catching the sun (or ring light!) for that glass-skin effect.
How to do it at home:
Warm 1–2 drops of facial oil between your fingers.
Lightly tap onto your cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of the nose, and even your collarbones.
Press the oil in with soft fingers — don’t rub. This helps preserve your base makeup and keeps the glow refined.
Use this hack as the finishing touch to your skincare or no-makeup makeup look. It’s ideal before taking pictures or stepping out for a golden hour walk.
Product suggestions:
💎 Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum — packed with nutrients and a cult favorite for a reason.
💖 Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil — brightens and deeply hydrates.
🕊 The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil — lightweight, nourishing, and budget-friendly.
