What Is It

We have all taken photos in the late afternoon when the sun is going down, and there is nothing but beautiful light swimming on our features. It is the golden hour and tends to make us look golden as well.

However, this look is unfortunately only available for about an hour out of the day, and then we go back to being our normal selves until now. Golden Hour Skin is a way to do your makeup that ensures that you have that glow all day long.

How To Get It

At the golden hour, the light is, well, golden. The light that settles onto your face creates a glow like you will never be able to achieve at another time during the day and seems to highlight all of your best features.

The only way to recreate this is to use products that do the same thing. We all know how to highlight our faces, but getting Golden Hour Skin involves layering liquid, cream, and powder products onto your skin so that your skin glows no matter the time of day.

You don’t want to look like a glazed donut, though, so it is important to apply a thin layer of each product so that you get just the right amount of glow. You can start by using a brightening primer and then layering highlighting products onto your skin in all the places you usually highlight.

Bottom Line

If you want to look like a golden hour is following you around all day, trying Golden Hour Skin is the answer for you. The trend is becoming more and more popular, and some makeup artists have already released tutorials online.

Try this trend so that you can look sunkissed throughout your day and will always be photo-ready.
