Get Glowing With Katie Fang’s New Kit

Glow Recipe has teamed up with one of its top supporters since day one, Vancouver-based beauty and lifestyle content creator Katie Fang, on a new kit of her all-time favs from the brand: the Get Glowing with Me by Katie Fang set. The set includes three convenient travel sizes of Katie’s go-to routine for a sun-kissed, dewy glow:

1. Watermelon Glow Pore-Tight Toner gently refines pores and hydrates with PHA and BHA.
2. Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream hydrates and plumps the skin.
3. Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops instantly evens tone with a warm glow and brightens the skin over time.

Katie, your Get Glowing with Me set is all about achieving that perfect sun-kissed, dewy glow on the go. What inspired you to choose these three specific products from Glow Recipe for this kit?

The watermelon toner wasn’t even a discussion the Glow team and I had to discuss, we just knew that it had to be included in my kit (IYKYK). The Plum moisturizer is perfect especially in the summertime because it gives you that hydration while being lightweight. I hate the feeling of heaviness on my skin and this moisturizer works wonders. Finally, when I think about summer, I think glowy and tan skin. The Hue Drops will give you a beautiful sun kissed glow. It’s a product where you can mix in with your Moisturizer or on its own, and it also doubles down as a primer!

With over 5 million followers on TikTok, you’ve become a major influencer in the beauty community. How does it feel to now have your own collaboration with a brand like Glow Recipe?

It feels so incredibly real. I don’t think anything could’ve prepped me for what I felt during and after my launch: gratitude, excitement, and a sense of accomplishment that words can not fully capture.

You’re known for your relatable beauty and lifestyle content. Can you share a funny or memorable moment from your journey as a content creator that still makes you smile?

Meeting my followers and seeing their excitement will never get old. In the early stages of my career, I had someone come up to me super frazzled and shocked but I was just as shocked as her. I looked around and said “what’s happening, who’s here?”, she goes “KATIE FANG!”. 

The Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops promise an instant warm glow. What’s your favorite way to incorporate these drops into your makeup routine for a flawless look?

I absolutely love mixing the Hue Drops in with the Plum Cream. The duo together just brings out such a beautiful warm and hydrating glow onto your skin. On days where I want to achieve that “no makeup, makeup look”, I apply the due drops like a bronzer and blend with a brush to achieve the most natural looking tan. 

As a Vancouver-based influencer, how do you adapt your skincare routine to the changing Canadian seasons, and how do the products in your Get Glowing with Me set help with that? 

Although my kit is known for its usability in the summer, the three products are also usable all year round in changing seasons. Plum Cream is lightweight for the summer, but also provides enough moisture and hydration in the winter. Hue Drops for a year round warm glow, especially in the winter when the summer tan fades! Watermelon Toner helps with pores and is always the first step in my skincare routine.
