Glowing Skin & Clean Girl Glam with Georgia Caine

On Friday, I had the absolute pleasure of glamming the gorgeous and incredibly kind Georgia Caine. Georgia was visiting from Melbourne, and since we’ve worked together before, I was so happy we could line up our schedules again.

She requested a soft and timeless clean girl makeup look think radiant skin, a wing, and just the right amount of glow. I was gifted the new Benefit Glow-La-La highlighter and this was the perfect opportunity to use it.

Let me tell you — this highlighter delivers. Glow-La-La is a silky-soft powder with the most stunning high-sheen payoff. It glides effortlessly onto the cheekbones and gives that gleaming, light-reflecting finish we all love.

The secret?

A hybrid formula made with finely milled powders combined with nourishing oils and gels, making it feel almost creamy while still being a powder.

I used the shade Raya, which gave Georgia that lit-from-within glow — fresh, effortless, and long-wearing.

And speaking of long-wearing, Glow-La-La ticks all the boxes:

  • 12-hour wear.

  • Waterproof & humidity-proof

  • Transfer-proof & smudge-proof

  • Fade-proof

  • Non-comedogenic

Top tip: Sweep Glow-La-La along the cheekbones and make sure to blend the edges well. That soft diffusion is key to a seamless, skin-like glow.

Creating this look reminded me just how powerful subtle details can be — a soft wing, radiant highlight, and fresh skin never go out of style.
