April 2, 2008 Be in the Spotlight!

I’m about to tell you the quickest way to get that “glow” that is so coveted. It’s the look of clean polished skin that reflects light in just the right places ala Beyonce, J.Lo, and Charlize. You want to know the products, and I’m about to call them out!

If your skin is a rich olive tan to the deepest ebony, please choose a hilighter with a warm golden or bronze tone such as M.A.C. Creme Colour Base in Bronze ($16.50 at maccosmetics.com) or NARS Sparkling Pressed Powder in Gold Rush ($30 at narscosmetics.com).

If your skin is fair to medium, go pick up High Beam from Benefit Cosmetics ($24 at benefitcosmetics.com) or e.l.f. Mineral Glow in Shimmer ($8.00 at eyelipsface.com) featured above, which have more of a pink tone.

Now here are the rules to glow by Love Muffins. If your skin is naturaly oily, choose a powder based product and blend it from the apples of the cheeks to your cheekbone only. If your skin is more normal to dry, you can apply either liquid, cream or powder (preferably cream if you’re drier) to your cheeks, bridge of nose and forhead. Blending is the key for a natural look. Have fun with this Love Muffins and try mixing your highlighter with your favorite cheek color and see what you get!
