during the summer, the glowing, dewy face is in, but it takes the right products and application to get this look just right.
start off by prepping your face with a good 15 spf moisturizer. after that has dried and soaked into your skin, apply a primer if you like. for a summer face, i like murad skin perfecting primer in “dewy finish” if you are dry to normal skin and in “matte” if you have oily skin (with oily skin, you don’t too want many layers of “dew”)
top your primer off with a skin illuminator that won’t run and lasts all day without making you look like a rejected dreamgirl.
a popular, “almost everyone likes” product for this is nars “orgasm” illuminator. another good option is clinique “up lighting” illuminator and victoria’s secret “pro face” illuminator.
light up your face and it will be sure to light up any room you grace.
what say you? do you dig the dewy look?

money, yes they do. illuminators are not designed to be “obviously” placed on the skin, but give you a glisten when you turn your face or are in the sun, so these do work very,very well for all skin types and colors.
if you are very dark, say like alec wek’s color, then i’d try the nars illuminator and you can also try it over a bronzer if you want it to go on even darker.
these would look fabulous on dark skin!
do all these products work for really dark skin??
no, i don’t, but i’ll do one this week just for you indigo. :)
Thanks. I had been looking for something to give myself that “glow” without looking ashy. Do you have an article on body bronzers?
