Want to look barely made up and glowing

I’m early fifties and I wear minimal make up. I have Bare Minerals complexion rescue as an base that I wear on work days and quite like it, but sometimes I want even less than that.
Does such a thing exist? I’d quite like to ‘glow’ a bit more.

Highlighter is the key to looking glowy. I use Urban Decay which is great and also cruelty free.

Tinted moisturiser might be what you’re looking for? I love it. You can get a nice one by Boots Natural Collection for £2 or £3 and try it before you commit to a spendy version.

My favourite is No 7 tinted moisturiser. It’s got good coverage but is still light and “barely there”.

@SilverChime
Thank you
Forgive my ignorance, I never used to wear make up and now find I look a bit shit without anything.
Is said highlighter a cream, and in one shade fits all type of thing? And do I put it under my bare minerals or instead of?

@Hasthissoddingnamegone
Thank you, I will have a look at those, I have found the cheaper tinted moisturiser tends to sit on my face though.

Sorry to add further info, but I have fair skin and need something with at least Spf30, and I would prefer as few products as possible.

I use Vichy Dermablend compact foundation (www.boots.com/vichy-dermablend-crrective-compact-cream-foundation-12-hour-10g-10172570 ) applied very lightly. I buff it in with a stippling brush to even out my skin tone and it also gives a little hint of glow. Then I finish with the NYX dewy finish setting spray.

You can get powder or cream highlighter, I prefer the cream. You put it on top of whatever base you choose to wear, just on the bits where you’d naturally shine like cheekbones and nose. I often use just a light powder base (I use the Urban Decay Naked Skin powder) with a bit of highlighter on top.

For the SPF I use a moisturiser that has it in, so I don’t need to use heavy makeup with SPF.

Thanks @SilverChime
I’m going to try some highlighter out and chuck away the old stuff I have but don’t like.
