Skincare-wise, everyone always seems to be chasing a natural-looking glow. But how, exactly, does one achieve a cherub-like visage? Chugging a HydroFlask? A monthly membership to a hot yoga studio? Pregnancy?? Thankfully, Nam Vo has all the answers. The beloved makeup artist is renowned for her high-watt “dewy dumpling” glow; if you could get a degree in mastering the shimmery, glassy complexion look, Vo would have a PhD.
Like any generous teacher, she’s willing to pass down her wisdom to those of us who aren’t as well-versed in obtaining glowing, healthy skin. Ahead, Vo shares the skincare treatment she’s obsessed with, her favorite mask that has a fluffy cloud texture, the cleanser that gives your skin a glassy lift, and more.
Flex MD LED Light Therapy Device
“This is one of my items I call the ‘This isn't cheap, but neither are you.’ It's about $2,500, but it is truly the gift that keeps giving. The whole family could use it. You could use it for acne. You could use it for anti-aging. You could use it for pain management. I feel like it recharges the batteries, keeps the skin tight, and stimulates collagen. It is a long-term investment, but I swear it's going to save you from getting lasers and Botox.”
Stabilizing Cleansing Mask
“Another product that I've been obsessed with for years is the Natura Bisse Stabilizing Cleansing Mask. It's like a glassy facelift for the face. I swear it sucks all your pores clean and leaves you tight and glassy. Before I film any glowjob, I usually use this to snatch my face. I love it.”
Jet Lag Mask
“Another product that I love is Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask. I feel like you could use it as a moisturizer. You could use it just around your eyes, too. The texture is super special because it really feels like a fluffy little cloud. And when you put it on, it's like your face just had a drink of water.”
Backstage Glow Face Palette
“I'm a highlighter whore and I’m always using this palette from Dior. You could use it as blush, you could use it on top of blush. You can use it on lighter skin tones, you can use it on deeper skin tones. I could use it on top of blush. Again, not cheap, but neither are you, plus it’s such a versatile product.”
Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick
“I’ve used this sculpting stick for years, and my favorite shade is Pearlescent. It's almost like a crystally, pearly, reflective situation so it’s perfect if you like that wet, dewy look.”
Luminous Dewy Skin Mist
“Another dewy dumpling staple is Tatcha Dewy Mist. I just love it because it adds a sheer veil of dewiness. If you're feeling dry, this will add a softness to the skin. I think it's absolutely gorgeous.”
Contour Stylus
“What's really nice about this is that the texture is beautiful and it’s super easy to use. It's compact. It blends beautifully, and it photographs beautifully.”
Forget The Filler Lip Plumper Gloss
“I have five of these lip glosses and I literally can't get enough. When you look at it you're like, ‘This is nothing special,’ but once you put it on, you’ll really get it. The shade I use is called Rosy Outlook, and it looks like rosewater; it looks clear with a slightly pink tint. You can wear it with lip liner, on top of lipstick, or alone. It’s so reflective and glossy. I absolutely love it.”
Radio Frequency Treatments
“I'm also a big radio frequency whore. Anybody that wants to give me a radio frequency treatment, whether it be with microneedling like Morpheus8 or whatever else, I’ll take it. I love radio frequency because it wakes up the skin's collagen and tightens the skin. I feel like it's a corset for the face. I've been doing it consistently for five years, and I honestly feel like my skin is tighter now than ever before.”
