Glow Getters: Top 5 Liquid Luminizers for Glowing Skin

So, you are wanting your skin to glow, look radiant and fresh, but you don't know where to start. Maybe you are in need of a luminizer.  When we start to see fine lines, uneven texture and a loss of firmness that comes along with aging it can be a bit depressing.

Using matte makeup amplifies those imperfections, so luminizers or highlighters are the perfect alternative—they make imperfect skin look flawless.

Luminizers are found most often in stick or liquid form—they are shimmery products that are applied to the skin face or body. Luminizers can diffuse light to make skin look softer and younger, add shimmer to highlight certain areas of the face, or add a soft glow to other parts of the body.

How to use luminizers:

 

For all over glow, apply your luminizer directly to your entire face prior to foundation or mix with primer.  Or, simply mix your foundation and luminizer together. Mixing the luminizer and foundation will give you a subtle all over glow.  

For highlights, apply your luminizer on the top of the cheekbone, down the center of your nose, on the brow bone, and on your chin.
