So whats the trick for apply blush on the cheeks?? I know to have a "glow" look , you apply balm on lips, cheeks and inner corner of eyes.

To glow... First, I go from the apples of my cheeks up to my temples and I dust on my bronzer/blush with a kabuki brush, the brand is Bare Minerals/Escentuals shade "Warm Radiance" AKA "Warmth."
And then after that, I dust on an illuminator by Neutrogena Minerals Sheer Blush. "Sable," (I think is the name of the shade I use?) ontop of the bronzer. And don't worry it doesn't look nearly as pink as it does in the picture or in real life, it applies more apricoty/peachy
And then as a final touch, I apply white eyeshadow in the creases of my eyes... for instance on your left eye you would do a sideways "v" with the shadow > like that.
All of the above is quick and makes for a very healthy/glowy look!

There's a line name GloMinerals that's a little hard to find; a nice privately owned boutique close to me carries it. There's this product they make called GloShimmer Brick Highlight Powder in Luster, and it gives me the most incredible glow you've ever seen in your life. This one product got me into the brand, hardcore. I can wear it day, night, whatever. It looks unbelievable. Subtle enough that you can't really tell I've got it on, but it makes a huge difference.
First, apply blush/bronzer as usual.
Then highlight with a shade lighter than your foundation, just above that.
And a shade darker than your foundation, below the blush/bronzer.
Blend.
Don't forget foundation primer. I use that stuff like moisturiser, it's the bomb. I could not live my life without it. MAC's prep+prime makes you glow like a beacon.
Get the fuck off my harbl, yo'.
Firemaiden, I have seen glowminerals at Whole Foods, and at several botiques near me. I don't think it'll be too difficult to find. I haven't tried Luster, or anything. But I have played around with their other products.
For a glow, First of all, water water, and more water. If you're dehydrated, you're going to look dull no matter what- And get enough sleep too. Second, Use a highlighter on top of cheekbones (I also highlight the V in my top lip, the inner corners of my eyes, and I use my pinky finger to drag the highlighter down the center of my nose), a brown powder to conour slightly underneath them, and a pinky blush on the apples of your cheeks/ temples and blended out.
The brush you use to apply blush can make a huge difference too. I just ordered the "Yachiyo" blush brush from their website- still waiting on it to come in the mail, but you can see youtube vids demonstrating the difference it makes. I've also heard the Bloom blush brush is good, but the Ulta near me quit carrying them before I'd heard of it.
I have also heard to set your foundation with mineral powder/ foundation instead of regular powder for a glowy look.

Drink heaps of water
Get adequate sleep
Then, what I do is apply a nice dewy foundation, with minimal concealer...and then put some either light powder or mousse/liquid blush on the apples of my cheeks, and then add highlighter/illuminiser or whatever you call it just on my cheekbones, just above where the blush is, and also in the corners of the eyes, on the cupid's bow of my lips, and also on the tip of my nose, as I find it makes my nose look more up-turned than usual, which I like. Kinda lifts the face a bit.


Thanks ladies.. I have "dewy" skin i guess its like shiny tint naturally but not "oily" look but i want that finish touch with some blush with some glossy babydoll pink lips...I CANT live without my babydoll pink lips with gloss. hahaha i barely wear makeup as we speak...i will apply black liner, baby doll pink lips, maybe very light white eyeshadow on top crease of eyebrow and thats it. So the blush will be VERY lite but more like "Is she wearing blush?" hahaha![]()

Whenever people comment on my glow, it's usually right after I've exercised/when I'm in love/happy
ORRRRR
Smashbox makes "glolights" (i think that's what they're called?) No, softlights!! They are called softlights. I have a really nice light shimmery pink shade I wear over my make up.
It's also important to use sheer make up. If you need coverage, you can layer a tinted moisturizer over a heavier foundation. It works well for me.



A good primer makes a world of difference. Also make sure you're well moisturized.
I've had great luck with the Laura Mercier Illuminating moisturizer: http://www.sephora.com/browse/produc...ategoryId=5809
It's also really pretty as a spot highlighter.
Benefit High beam is awesome for a liquid. You can mix it with your foundation or use it in spots.
I'll also take Kitten eyeshadow from Stila and use it in spots.
The smashbox stuff is also pretty kickass.


for a natural glow I use rose seed hip oil as a moisturizer.
