Light reflecting products...

I love the 'dewy' fresh faced look, I think that it makes you look younger too!

I use light reflecting foundations (Clinique do a good one) and then put a light reflecting powder lightly over the top to set it.

I use a gel or cream blusher (rather than powder) Ruby and Millie do a great gel stick one or I think Maybeline do a good cream one.

Vaseline is great believe it or not, put a tiny amount on the top of your cheek bones and on your lips (don't overdo it or you will end up looking greasy!).

You can even get nice sheer cream eyeshadows to complete the look but I don't recommend these if you have heavy creases in your eyelids as they can cake.

Estee lauder futurist

you could probably do with going for a foundation with light-reflecting properties. i'd imagine theres quite a few, but one that i know of off the top of my head is estee lauder, futurist. its known as an age resisting foundation because the light reflection detracts from wrinkles but its definitely don't not just old people that wear it! i hope this helps!

Hiya

you could try a moisturising foundation if your skin is dry, that will give a nice shine. you can also get shimmer powders/creams to put on under or over your foundation. You could also try a moisturiser with shimmer in it. I use olay definity and its got tiny shimmery bits in it to make your skin glow. If you like the fresher look, then avoid using powders as these take away the skins natural oils and make you look matte. Although there is an illuminating powder than N0 7 do that you put on to set your foundation that has a nice shimmery glow to it. Hop this helps.
