Brighten up

My final installment on glowing, beautiful skin is all about the finishing touch...Makeup. There are a lot of easy to use products out there that can fake a glow on your skin. The key word to look for is luminizing.
There are primers to apply under makeup or powders to finish the deal - all with little sparkly reflecting bits to create the illusion of glow.
Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize and your skin will be ready for its closeup.
In summer I use Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20, available at Sephora for $32. It has light diffusing pigments and a touch of color - with the spf it's a perfect summer time all-in-one.
One of my all time favorite companies - Benefit, has an iconic skin brightener called High Beam, $24 at Sephora and Ulta. It has a brush applicator and you dot little dots high along the cheekbones, inner eye and under the brow bone, and then blend it in with your fingers.
You can also achieve maximum glow with a powder. Perfectly Lit Oil-free Luminizing Powder by Lorac diffuses lines and brightens the complexion. Comes in two shades and is $32 at Sephora.  Apply all over for a soft glow.

Any one of these products is a must-have for your makeup bag and for the new glowy you.
