Beauty queen Chloe Morello is no stranger to a radiant look, but when she posted a teaser for an upcoming video to her instagram with the caption “what would happen if you put too much glow on? Asking for a friend…”, accompanied by the following photo, we knew we needed to know everything she used to get that luminous:

So if you’re as curious as we were, we’ve put together the ten steps Chloe used for her ‘OTT glow’ (or, as we’re calling it, GLO-TT’)
Step 1: Skin prep with Fresh
Every good glowy makeup look starts with healthy and luminous skin, which Chloe achieved using a few different products from the Fresh skincare range.
bh loves: Fresh Rose Floral Toner ($59), Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence ($108), Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturizer With Multi-Action Super Lotus ($72), Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Eye Cream with Multi-Action Super Lotus ($64).
Step 2: Prime
It might seem counter-productive, but a matte primer not only helps to create a smooth base, but it will help your dewier makeup products last longer – especially if your skin is on the oily side.
Chloe used the Smith & Cult BLACKDROP Mattifying Face Primer ($49, adorebeauty.com.au) to brighten and mattify before she started her makeup.
Step 3: Luminous foundation
Using NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation ($75, mecca.com.au), and a damp beautyblender ($30, sephora.com.au), Chloe buffs a couple of pumps of foundation into her face and down her neck.
Step 4: Brush up and set brows
Keeping the brows simple, Chloe skips any stencilling and instead, brushes them up with Benefit Gimme Brow+ to add some voluminous shape and definition.
Step 5: Bronze smokey eye
Using just one palette, the Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look In A Palette Gorgeous, Glowing Beauty ($99, charlottetilbury.com/au), Chloe creates a bronzey, glittery smokey eye that works perfectly with her radiant base.
Step 6: Smoked out liner and curled lashes
With a thick black wing too stark for such a glowy look, Chloe opts for some smoked out brown liner along her lash line for subtle definition instead. The product used? NARS Larger Than Life Longwear Eyeliner ($37, mecca.com.au).
She follows this with a couple of coats of NARS Climax Mascara ($37, mecca.com.au), but not before she curls her lashes for some added lift.
Step 7: Natural looking falsies
Using a pair of falsies from her Eylure collection, Eylure x Chloe Morello – Milano, Chloe adds some natural-looking volume to her lashes.
Step 8: Contour, highlight and blush
In order to make sure powder doesn’t ruin the radiance she has going, Chloe opts for cream formulas for her concealer, bronzer and and blush.
Using NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($46, mecca.com.au), she goes in under her eyes and across her chin, dabbing it seamlessly into her skin with a damp beautyblender.
Then, in the hollows of her cheeks, forehead and under her chin, Chloe uses Nudestix Tinted Blur Stick ($50, sephora.com.au) to create shade and definition, blending the product in with a small buffing brush.
On the apples of her cheeks and up towards her cheekbones, she uses NARS The Multiple ($60, mecca.com.au) in Orgasm for a luminous-looking flush.
Step 9: Natural, plump lips
Chloe preps her pout before colour, using the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Mint Rush Refreshing ($32, sephora.com.au) to gently remove any dead skin.
Her lip product of choice is a plumping gloss, with a (you guessed it) a super-glowy finish. The Buxom one she used is not available in Australia, but Dior Lip Maximiser ($52, sephora.com.au) is a fab dupe.
Step 10: Set everything into place
All of these steps would be pointless if the glow were to melt away within a couple of hours. So to make sure hers lasts all day long, Chloe douses her face with a generous misting of M.A.C Perp+ Prime Fix+.
Then, while that’s still damp on her skin, she lightly brushes Laura Mercier Transulcent Loose Setting Powder ($60, mecca.com.au) in all the places she applied concealer. After all, that’s the places we all want our makeup to stay put.
Fascinating . Love to know what other people do with their makeup.
I love her makeup!
Can’t believe she has her own lashes too!
I love a glowy look
Unfortunately luminous tends to look oily on me.
Now I know why I don't have that 'OTT glow' – because I don't use those products. lol
Not sure if that powder will give glow
I love Chloe’s look. I think she looks gorgeous. And that palette. Oh my, I need it!
Love this look and love MAC prep and prime fix.
Try not to look to glowy or illuminated especially
with my makeup at least not for a more mature woman, try to tone it down quite a bit, have never heard of Chloe Morello but she is very beautiful.
I just love every product and her finish is stunning!
I am in love with the Climax mascara at the moment and Fresh products are lovely – I also wear their perfumes.
I love that Charlotte Tilbury palette.
It did strike me when I saw that photo that it seems OTT glowy. Could look kinda sweatty in real life?
Chloe always looks glowy to me shes a goddess
Loving her brows, very envious indeed!
Luminous healthy skin is everything. If wearing makeup i need to be careful, not to go overboard. I think having oily and well exfoliated skin is a good thing haha
Used to watch Chloe tears ago Brings back memories.
Just looking at the product so achieve this lovely glow is quite expensive. Beyond my budget.
Ive followed Chloe right from the start. Im friends with her Mum and I remember her asking em to please follow her and to help her out in getting followers. Now she needs no help at all ….go Chloe 😀
Way to many products for the lay man in my opinion, but I so agree good skincare is the foundation for the healthy glowing skin. Also a fan of Mac prep and prime though I tend to use it before I put my tinted moisturiser on if I am wanting more of a glow day. Also a good prepping glowing sheet mask like the glow mask from Garnier
Ooh the lip rush in mint sounds so good
Pretty girl. Haven't heard of her, but I don't follow social media.
I love her glowy skin and her videos are fun!
Love this look!! I would go with something more matte as I have an oily t-zone.
Pretty, but way too involved for me.
Beautiful woman!!! Just not a look for me…
She looks lovely, but personally I prefer a matte look.
I've gone glowy a couple times, but I personally prefer a more understated matte look. Otherwise it toggles between glowy and sweaty looking.
I do like that luminous look. I have it, but it comes from oily skin lol.
A little much for me, but this look really suits the gorgeous Chloe
I like a dewy, luminous look myself, but I agree that it can stray into greasy territory if you're not careful. This might be a little too much glow for me personally, but each to their own. I do agree that good skincare prep is important pre-makeup.
That is a lot of products! However, I think it all comes down to the Tilbury. The pallette seems to do all the heavy lifting with this look.
Love a glowing look! A bit of highlighter can make all the difference!
Helps if you are gorgeous to start with
only in winter
I would love to try fresh and charlotte Tilbury products.
Chloe is so pretty and skilled at makeup! Love the radiant glowy skin look, a little bit of highlighter makes a massive difference
Love the glowy dewy look but in summer can easily look greasy and shiny disco ball
She is always looking glowy. Happy to see an article on what she uses.
I have watched this girl from her humble beginnings on Youtube to now. She is awsome and still down to earth even though she is huge all over the world. Go Chloe !!!
OOO gorgeous! I love that Charlotte Tilburry palette looks so nice!
She's gorgeous and I'd love to get that kind of glow minus so many steps. I wish there were some lazy gal tips for dewy skin
Gorgeous. Love this look.
Perfect glowy. Too many steps to follow, happy with one stroke of highlighter with glowy primer underneath
I have that foundation, I find it separates on the skin. Would love to know how to stop that happening!
Some wonderful inspiration from an obvious beauty lover.
As someone with dry and mature skin, I rarely use face powder. I prefer to use a self-setting foundation. However, I recently bought a mini size version of Laura Mercier's Translucent Setting Powder to see why it is so highly recommended by people.
I have reported Adrianna55's post above on the "SERIAL SPAM MEMBER ON BH" thread.
I’ve got to try the FRESH range
I think this is too much glow. Chloe is a gorgeous woman, but she looks sweaty & greasy here.
Will use these products thanks for the article.
