Featured Products

Whether you’re new to the glow game or just want to perfect your makeup routine, you’ll learn exactly how to prep, prime, tint, and top it all off using our Halo Glow Collection. From cleanser to skin tint to the final swipe of gloss, every step works together to help visibly boost hydration, lock in your base, and keep your glow balanced.

Step One: Before Applying Makeup, Always Start with Skincare

Great makeup starts with great skin—and the easiest way to get that lit-from-within glow is by setting the stage with the right prep. Before you even think about picking up a brush or sponge, make sure your skin is clean, fresh, and ready to soak up all that radiance.

Start with our Holy Hydration! Daily Cleanser to help remove any dirt or leftover makeup. Next, smooth on Holy Hydration! Daily Moisturizer for lightweight hydration that layers beautifully under makeup. Want an extra boost? Add a few drops of our Thirst Burst Hydrating Drops for extra dewy moisture, and tap in Bright Icon Vitamin C Serum to help visibly brighten and even the appearance of your skin tone.

Step Two: Apply a Mattifying Face Primer

When your whole look is about that fresh, lit-from-within glow, it’s key to keep the balance just right— we want dewy, not greasy. That’s where a mattifying primer steps in to save the day (and your T-zone).

Before you reach for your Halo Glow makeup products, smooth on a few pumps of our Power Grip Matte Primer to help lock everything in place. This matte primer grips onto your makeup so it lasts all day while helping to blurr the appearance of pores and keeping extra shine in check. Think of it as your invisible filter without killing your natural radiance.

It’s especially perfect for warm weather or when you want your glow to stay put all day. Apply a thin, even layer after your skincare, focusing on your T-zone and any spots that tend to get extra shiny. This way, your radiant base stays fresh and balanced—not greasy.

Step Three: Apply a Complexion Booster with Our Halo Glow Liquid Filter

Time to dial up that glow! After your mattifying primer does its balancing magic, reach for our Halo Glow Liquid Filter—your go-to for that dreamy, lit-from-within radiance. Think of this as your glow amplifier and complexion booster all in one.

Apply it as your first makeup step right after your face primer but before Halo Glow Skin Tint. It helps to smooth, blur, and deliver a soft-focus glow that takes your makeup base to the next level. Want a subtle sheen or full-on radiance? Halo Glow Liquid Filter is super buildable.

Choose from 15 flexible shades designed to enhance every skin tone—so you get that perfect filter-like finish every time. Dot it on high points for targeted glow or blend a thin layer all over for that all-around dewy boost.

Step Four: Apply Your Makeup Base with Our Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50

After boosting your base with Halo Glow Liquid Filter, it’s time to help even things out with the Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50. This lightweight, buildable skin tint with SPF leaves your skin looking naturally radiant, never cakey.

Not only does this hydrating skin tint deliver that signature lit-from-within glow, but it also packs a skincare bonus with mineral SPF 50 for the ultimate sun protection and flawless finish in one step. With 18 flexible shades to choose from, there’s a shade match for every undertone and look.

For the smoothest application, grab our Halo Glow Angled Silicone Makeup Sponge—it hugs every curve of your face and blends the tint seamlessly into your skin for a natural, streak-free finish. Just bounce and blend until it’s melted into skin.

Step Five: Apply Contour with Our Halo Glow Contour Wand

Once your makeup base is glowing and even, it’s time to bring back some shape and warmth with our Halo Glow Contour Wand. This game-changing contour wand makes adding definition easy—no harsh lines, just soft, natural sculpting that blends like a dream.

Thanks to its cushion-tip applicator, it’s super precise and mess-free. Choose from five flattering shades that work beautifully on every skin tone. Just dot it on areas where you want extra depth and dimension—think sides of the nose, along the forehead, under the cheekbones, and along the jawline.

Blend it out with a makeup brush, beauty sponge, or your fingertips for that seamless, sculpted look that keeps your glow looking fresh and balanced. The result? Subtle definition that enhances your natural features without overpowering your dewy base.

Step Six: Apply Blush with Our Halo Glow Blush Wand

No glowy makeup routine is complete without that fresh, healthy flush—and Halo Glow Liquid Blush Wand does just that. This blush wand is your secret to that just-pinched, naturally radiant look that ties your whole complexion together.

The soft cushion-tip applicator means you can dot and blend with zero streaking or ruddiness. Just tap it onto the apples of your cheeks for a classic rosy glow or sweep it along your cheekbones for a lifted, sculpted flush—it’s totally up to you and the makeup look you’re going for.

With six natural-looking shades, there’s a blush for every mood and every skin tone, from soft pinks to rich berries. The lightweight, blendable formula melts right into your base without disturbing your skin tint or contour—so you stay glowy, never streaky.

Step Seven: Apply Highlight with Our Halo Glow Highlight Wand

Time to top off your glow with the ultimate finishing touch: the Halo Glow Highlight Wand. This liquid highlight wand is your ticket to that next-level radiance that catches the light just right every time.

The cushion-tip applicator makes it easy to swipe on and blend exactly where you want it—no glitter, just a soft, dewy sheen that looks like your skin, but glowier. Dot it on the high points of your face: cheekbones, brow bone, cupid’s bow, and down the bridge of your nose for that fresh, lit-from-within makeup look.

Now available in six shades (including three brand new ones!) so you can find your perfect match or mix it up depending on your vibe. Pair it with our Halo Glow Skin Tint, contour wand, and blush wand for a complete makeup routine that’s equal parts effortless and radiant.

Step Eight: Set Your Makeup Look with Our Halo Glow Setting Powder

Lock in that flawless glow while keeping shine in check with Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder. This weightless powder helps set your makeup base with an air-brushed finish that blurs imperfections but still lets your radiant skin peek through. Available in six flexible shades, it’s designed to work with your glow—not hide it.

For best results, grab our Halo Glow Powder Puffs—the Triangle Powder Puff or the cute Pinkie Powder Puff Set —and press the powder gently into the skin. Focus on your T-zone or anywhere you want to keep that glow looking fresh, not greasy.

Need a little more coverage? Sweep on a thin layer of Halo Glow Powder Filter Pressed Finishing Powder for a soft-focus, filtered finish that takes your look to the next level. With 12 shades to select from, you’ll find your perfect match for a smooth, seamless glow that lasts.

Step Nine: Create the Ultimate Lip Combo with Our Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm

No makeup look—especially a glowy one—is complete without the perfect lip combo to tie it all together. Enter Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm, your new must-have for soft, juicy lips that shine just as bright as your skin.

This tinted, nourishing balm melts right onto your lips, delivering a wash of buildable color plus a hit of hydration that keeps your pout looking plump and fresh all day. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients that feel as good as they look—no sticky gloss, no drying tint, just pure glow.

Whether you swipe on a sheer layer for a hint of tint or build it up for a bolder pop of color, this hydrating balm is the final touch your dewy makeup routine needs. Toss one in every bag—you’ll thank us later!

Step Ten: Finish Your Makeup Look with Power Grip Setting Spray

You’ve layered, blended, and glowed to perfection—now make sure all that work stays put with the final step: Power Grip Setting Spray. This setting spray acts like a magic shield for your makeup, locking everything in place while keeping your skin looking fresh and dewy (never stiff or cakey).

Formulated to grip your look just like our cult-favorite face primer, it helps Halo Glow Skin Tint, blush wand, highlight wand, and contour wand last longer—so you can glow on without touch-ups. Give your face a few spritzes once you’ve finished your makeup look, and you’ll instantly feel the refresh.

Pro tip: stash it in your bag for mid-day touch-ups when you want to revive your glow and keep your skin looking juicy and hydrated!
