How to Use the Glow Skin Balm for a Natural Highlight

Quick Answer

Use the MISSHA Glow Skin Balm as a cream highlighter by tapping a small amount onto the high points of your face after moisturizer and before or after foundation for a natural, dewy glow.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Glow Skin Balm as a Natural Highlight

1. Step 1: Prep Your Skin: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply your usual serum and moisturizer, then wait 1–2 minutes for them to absorb. The Glow Skin Balm works best on slightly tacky skin. Skipping prep can cause the balm to slide or not blend evenly.
2. Step 2: Warm the Product: Use your ring finger to scoop a tiny amount of balm (about half a grain of rice). Rub it between your fingertips to warm it up. This step is crucial for a seamless blend. Using too much product or not warming it leads to a patchy, streaky finish.
3. Step 3: Apply to High Points: Gently tap the balm onto the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, your cupid's bow, and just above your brow arch. Use a dabbing motion—never swipe or rub. Applying to the wrong areas (like under the eyes or all over the nose) can make your face look oily instead of glowing.
4. Step 4: Blend with a Damp Sponge or Fingers: Use a damp beauty sponge or clean fingertips to softly bounce over the applied areas. This diffuses the product for a natural, second-skin glow. If using foundation, apply the balm on top for a luminous finish. Blending too aggressively can remove the product entirely; use a light hand.
5. Step 5: Set (Optional): If you have oily skin or want longer wear, lightly dust a translucent setting powder over the balm with a fluffy brush. For a dewier look, skip powder entirely. Setting with a heavy powder can dull the glow; use the lightest dusting possible.
