Glow without shine – how to create a natural, radiant complexion
The trend for 2025 is clear: naturally radiant skin without the greasy or glittery effect.
The 'glow' that professionals talk about isn't a makeup trick, but a balance of care, texture, and light reflection.
At Diana Beauty & PRO HAAR you will learn how to create a healthy glow – fresh, flattering and completely natural.
1. The basics: healthy skin = natural glow
A real glow doesn't start with makeup, but with skincare.
✔ Cleansing: Remove daily dirt and makeup residue with a gentle cleanser.
✔ Exfoliation: Use mild acids (AHA/BHA) 2–3 times a week to remove dead skin cells.
✔ Hydration: Choose serums with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or niacinamide.
✔ Diet: Eat foods rich in omegas, antioxidants, and vitamin C.
Expert advice: Healthy skin naturally reflects light – you can't fake that with highlighter alone.
2. Primer: the invisible preparation
An illuminating primer is the perfect base for makeup.
✔ Choose a primer with light-reflecting pigments, not glitter.
✔ Apply thinly to the cheeks, bridge of the nose and chin.
✔ Use matte primer only on the T-zone for oily skin.
PRO TIP: Mix primer with day cream for a subtle, from-within glow.
3. Foundation: transparent is the new perfect
The time of thick layers is over.
✔ Use a light foundation or tinted moisturizer with skincare ingredients.
✔ Apply with a damp sponge for feathery coverage.
✔ Reveals freckles and texture – making the look more vibrant.
PRO HAIR advice: Choose foundation with a “radiant” or “natural satin finish” – never shimmer.
4. Highlighting without glitter
The trick of professionals is diffused light , not shimmer light .
✔ Use liquid or cream highlighter with microscopic pigments.
✔ Apply to cheekbones, cupid's bow and inner corner of the eye.
✔ Avoid harsh lines or metallic sheen.
Expert advice: Blend with your fingers for a skin-on-skin effect – no streaks, just subtle reflections.
5. Blush and bronzer for depth
Glow is not flat, but layered.
✔ Use cream blush in warm tones (peach, terracotta, rose).
✔ Add light bronzer for softness and dimension.
✔ Blush high on the cheeks gives a 'lifted' effect.
PRO TIP: Mix blush with a drop of highlighter for a natural satin sheen.
6. Finishing touch: setting is missing
A hydrating setting spray fixes make-up without a matte effect.
✔ Look for ingredients like panthenol or aloe vera.
✔ Spray from a distance of 30 cm and allow to dry naturally.
✔ For extra glow: spray on a makeup sponge and dab onto cheekbones.
Diana Beauty advice: this is the secret behind the glass-skin, shine-free look.
Conclusion: glow is balance, not shine
A natural glow is the result of healthy skin, transparent makeup and light reflection .
It's the difference between glow and shine – subtle, feminine, professional.
At PRO HAAR we believe: real glow comes from within, makeup only enhances the outside.
