Fall Trend Watch: Illuminating Powders and Liquid Highlighters
It's all about achieving a glamorous glowy look with this season's touches of shimmer and sheen. The benefit of utilizing these products is that you can add some dimension and a healthy radiance to your skin with some very strategically-placed application. You can use an incredibly light hand and still achieve a pretty result that is so subtle that most people won't know quite why you're glowing. On the other hand, you can apply a bit more for extra emphasis (especially on the eye area, near the inner corners and just under the eyebrows), if you're looking to create all-out glamour.
Liquid highlighters tend to be a bit more on the subtle side, creating a "glow-from-within" look, while illuminating powders can range from barely-there to gorgeous gleam. Regardless of which you prefer to use, you can easily add some radiance to your look - WHO says you need a tan to glow?
There's no shortage of products out there right now made just for this purpose, so here are some of the hot ways to harness the power of illumination:
Stila Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer
"What it is: A lightweight, tinted moisturizer infused with a hint of shimmer and a protective SPF 15. What it is formulated to do: This multipurpose beautifier does triple duty: It acts as your moisturizer, sunscreen, and luminizer to provide sheer coverage that makes skin appear flawless, and its super hydrating ingredients and protective SPF 15 will keep your skin protected."
Bobbi Brown's Gold Shimmer Brick
"Anyone can wear gold as an accent. Wear it with your regular colors to make your look special," says Bobbi. The latest addition to our best-selling Shimmer Brick Compact Collection features five different shades of ultra-luxe, pearlized pigments that blend together to create a soft golden glow. Perfect paired with the limited-edition MINI FACE BLENDER BRUSH."
LORAC Oil-Free Luminizer
"This 100% oil-free and fragrance-free luminizer adds an incandescent sheen to brighten the face, providing an instant pick-me-up. Mix with foundation or wear alone."
Nars Highlighting Blush Powder
"This truly versatile highlighting product may be worn on its own or layered over other color products for added highlight and dimension. The soft shimmering color will add instant radiance to any complexion, and may be used on the face and body."
Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener
"Photo shoots often start at the crack of dawn when even models and celebs don’t look their best and dark circles loom. That’s why we created this innovative under eye brightener that immediately wakens and brightens skin while adding moisture to prepare for concealer application. Contains lots of skin-boosting ingredients too, like Vitamin C, red wine extract, peptides and marine collagen, to help fill in those nasty little wrinkles."
