i really wanna know how influencers get that super glassy, reflective finish using makeup. my base makeup looks clean and fresh, but it’s more normal glow.. not that mirror like shine you see on instagram

I’ve seen people use things like:
Liquid highlighters (like nykaa glow liquid highlighter or similar ones)
Strobe creams (like hilary rhoda skin shine one or d&k strawberry dew one)
Mixing highlighter into foundation or moisturizer
Applying extra glow on high points (cheekbones, nose, etc.)

do these actually give that glass skin effect, or is it more about layering makeup in a certain way?
