Get the Look: Glowing Skin

Date October 6, 2006

In the ‘90s, Madonna’s heavily powdered look gave way to J.Lo’s infamous glow. Fast-forward to today and our current matte obsession is fading in favour of a dewy face—and that’s a good thing for our skin. A light-handed luminescence is the perfect fix for dull complexions come winter. In fact, illuminated skin was all over the runways (Calvin Klein, Balenciaga and Christopher Kane, to name a few). The key to wearing this luxe finish on the street is the micro shimmer of modern highlighters (read: light-reflecting rather than glitter-loaded).
