The Expensive-Looking Golden Hour Makeup Everyone Asks About |

The Expensive-Looking Golden Hour Makeup Everyone Asks About |



If you have oily skin and every glowy makeup look turns greasy by the end of the day, this tutorial is for you.

In this video, I’m creating golden hour makeup for oily skin: soft-matte, sun-kissed, polished, and expensive-looking in every light.

This is not dewy makeup. We’re keeping the center of the face matte, adding warmth with bronzer and blush, and placing highlighter only where it actually flatters the skin.

Perfect for a wedding guest look, summer event, dinner, vacation, or any day you want radiant skin without looking shiny.

    This is extremely fast… how many drops of foundation, please? That seems excessive. A drop and a half from Clinique's Even Better and one is covered fully…. can't imagine 3,4,5 drops… plus adding Serum. It'll slip and slide. Very few foundations look great in the sun. Seems like we need to try this one too… excellent results.. xx..

    Oily chick, here 🙋🏽‍♀️. I prefer full matte, but anyone who can pull off soft matte with a pop of highlighter I tip my hat to. You always look breathtakingly beautiful, Elena, thank you for your informative videos.

  • @connierafferty5522

    This only works on 20 year-old skin. Try that on old skin and you will look like you are wearing cardboard

    Elena I'm coming to you because you're such an expert and no one has been able to help me!

    What brand of powder or foundation should I use if I have acne prone skin? I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) so issues with acne may be life-long. (I don't have a ton of money so it can't be too fancy. Definitely under $50.)

    SOS!!!

  • @deborahdoesscrap

    I need more adjectives to describe just how beautiful you are and how stunning this makeup looks. The tip about looking at the inner lip color to find your perfect shade is so valuable to those like me who are color matching challenged.

    I think the two major differences is making her skin look fresher and bigger eyes.

    I suggest skin care suggested got your skin. You have such a natural beauty that deserves more delicate care. Wish I had your steady complexion, but my rochea complexion will always prevent that.

    Also your makeup talents are great! Makeup is not bad, just envy your natural beauty! I heard oily skin is a pain to find the right skin care products. Good luck! You are beautiful! Without and with makeup.

    Wish I was as good using makeup as you!

  • @lindapb6529

    Very pretty for the sunny outdoors. Would you – or how wouldyou – modify it for indoors?

    I bought some glowy highlighter – and, granted I don’t know how to put makeup on 😅 – and I looked like a nut case with it.

    July 29, 2026 at 1:49 pm
  • @lisanutini5183

    Aha! I have super oily skin and I have always packed powder onto the T zone, waited and brushed off the excess. Before the hour is up the powder sucks up oil. Lightly dusting a tidbit of powder on my face is not nearly enough. Now, this works only when I use my loose powder from T Leclerc. It never cakes.

    I use ND palettes but I find there is fallout with the glitter when using my ring finger. Any suggestions on how to clean up under the eyes? Natasha Danona in her tutorials starts with the eye makeup.
