Afternoon beauty fix: Add a little glow to your skin without looking shiny
What’s the best way to make my skin look dewy without appearing shiny? This fix is actually a very simple one: select products with a metallic finish and blend them into your regular beauty routine—literally! For example, instead of applying foundation like you normally do, mix it with a pea-sized amount of brilliance: a luminizer.
Nars Illuminator in “Copacabana” ($29, narscosmetics.ca) is fair and silvery, like the inside of a seashell. If your complexion is a bit deeper, try the golden “Laguna” shade. If you don’t use foundation regularly, you can add some shine at the moisture level by spreading a cream like Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay illuminating serum ($32, tartecosmetics.com) over your skin (after your SPF, that is)—it has antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E, plus a glossy finish to highlight your face’s high points and satisfy your appetite for light.
