Start with a light-reflective makeup primer or foundation to create glow. Go for Elizabeth Arden Let There Be Light Radiant Skin Lotion SPF 15, $25, or Helena Rubinstein Illumination Compact Foundation with Vitamin C, $42. Note: A drugstore option is Revlon Skinlights Tinted lotion ($11-$13). Sephora skin illuminator lotion is only $5.50 right now (originally $22)! Don't underestimate tinted lotion or foundation with shimmer! It looks radiant!
Sweep a bronze shadow (like BeneFit The Cowgirls Eye Shadow in Fancy Roper, $18) across your lids, then add a light-catching liner at the lower lash lines for definition and drama. Try Revlon High Dimension Eye Liner in Garnet Flash, $7.50. Apply two coats of black mascara. Other suggestions ... Pixi Eye Bright Kit # 1 ($35), or Pop Beauty Eye Glam in "Allure"($14.00).
Next, blend a shimmery cream blush in a rosy hue onto the apples of your cheeks for a dewy effect. This is an important step that will keep the compliments on your complexion coming! Try L'Oréal Touch-On Colour Lips, Eyes, Cheeks in Go Go Gold, $8.75. Vincent Longo makes gorgeous hues for cheeks. Check out Longo Cream Blush in "Urban Rose" ($20.00).
Top it off with a touch of twinkling champagne lip gloss. Some suggestions to try: Neutrogena MoistureShine Gloss in Whisper, $6.99, Avon's sheer glosses, Lancome's Juicy Tubes in "Spring Fling" ($15.50), Girlactic Beauty Gloss in "Just Nude" ($12), or Too Faced Couture Lip Gloss Luxe in "Modelizer" ($18.00).
