Natural glow makeup is about light reflection with comfort. Think soft radiance on cheeks, hydrated lips, and defined eyes that never feel heavy. RAL formulas focus on skin-loving ingredients so your glow looks smooth up close.

Prep For A Healthy Glow
Great glow starts with smooth, moisturized lips and a calm eye area.
- Gently polish lips with the Lip Exfoliate Stick then condition with Rallye Balm for a soft base.
- For lids, use Prime Time Eye Primer so soft shimmers stay crease-resistant.
- If you patch test new products at home, the American Academy of Dermatology outlines a simple approach to testing skin care on a small area.
Dermatologists also suggest avoiding products that sting or irritate when lips are chapped. See the AAD’s tips for healing dry, chapped lips.

- Base: Keep coverage light. A touch of concealer where needed so skin texture still shows through.
- Eyes: Sweep a soft satin from talc-free eyeshadows, define with gentle eyeliner, then lift with mascara.
- Cheeks: Tap on a natural flush using talc-free blush. Add a whisper of warmth with Sundrop Bronzer.
- Lips: Choose a hydrating shade from Hydrating Lipstick, define softly with a creamy lip pencil, then tap on gloss at the center for light catch.
- Finish: Mist with water or pat a clean sponge around edges so everything melts into skin.
