Luminous, Dewy and Healthy Looking Makeup

[Belowen]

Anyone has some advice how to get healthy looking glow on my face and cover little spots up without using too much make up

I dont use foundation etc.. justbecause i dont like it, so does anyone has some tips?

I agree with the tinted foundation suggestion... IMO it's the best way to get some sheer coverage/glow without the impression of wearing too much makeup...

^Agree with that too. Love love love Laura Mercier and Shiseido!!

I want to buy Benefit High Beam highlighter, any reviews? And where can I buy it? (a site that ships to Europe...)

I've never ordered products online before, should I upgrade to FedEx (another £8)? Or is the regular delivery safe enough?

Oooh, I do like it. And it lasts a long time. You should definitely give it a shot - looks wonderful in photos and at night.

I don't know if Sephora ships to Europe... but Ebay is always an option.

If you think the Belgian postal service is ok, then there's no point in paying for FedEx I've never had any problems with shipping from hqhair.

Thank you both! I'll give it a try. Exciting^^

Sephora don't. It's an absolute pain. My life would be so much easier...
I still check the website regularly for reviews though.

I used this last night and it really makes a difference. It gave a nice shimmery glow to my cheeks and lasted all night. I have it on the apples of my cheeks here:

Ooo, looks great! Healthy, dewy.
You have good skin though. I hope it has the same effect on my mixed skin (oily t-zone, dry cheeks). But I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Photos - proof! Good idea.

Please excuse how terrible I look here... and how unruly my eyebrows appear! But here I am wearing High Beam last August...

And this is from the same dinner, but from afar (and blurry

Oh, come on, you look great!
The High beam does look really good. Highlighted yet not too shimmery.

and I looove your dress btw, or at least what I can see from it

High beam works on some skin tones, I'm naturally tan so whenever I use highbeam it looks so off and awkward. What I do is I use a great concealer like Dior Skinflash and then I use The Multiple by Nars (in Portofino or Maldives..Orgasm is a great color too). I very much prefer it over Highbeam...It's much more natural and subtle.

Honey you are H-O-T

Has anyone tried the NARS Orgasm Illuminator? I'm assuming it gives something of a similar look to the Benefit High beam? It's on my wish list.

I use Guerlain meteorites , skin looks nice and radiant, but this product isn't good for dry skin...

I have it and love it.
I haven't tried Benefit High beam but the Illuminator is very sheer and gives leaves your skin with a bit of gold sheen. I wouldn't go as far to say sparkles.
I wore it out this weekend just on my cheeks and got alot of compliments on it.

^^^ Do you have photos??? I'm interested in this NARS Orgasm Illuminator... how much is it??

I have it and love it. It gives a much warmer glow than High Beam. I use it after my Smashbox primer and it makes a flawless base for my foundation. I can't wait to use it this summer when I go out a night.
