Not much makes you look older than dull, matte skin with layers of cakey makeup. For a quick fix to brighten up your look, create an instant, healthy glow with light-reflective lotions and highlighters!
Lancôme has the Eclat Miracle Serum of Light Complexion Illuminator – it has “Liquid mirror” particles scatter on the skin to produce a continuous, illuminating effect. Use it on its own as a highlighter for touches of light on specific areas of the face (dab on cheeks and the bridge of your nose after makeup) or mix with your foundation or moisturizer to give an all over glow. For a more budget friendly option, try L’Oreal’s Translucide Naturally Luminous Powder or Smashbox’s Artificial Light Luminizing Powder.
Highlighters are also SUPER for not only making you look younger, but more awake! (Really! Something to make you look like you’re not a sleep-deprived zombie!) We’re all trying to cover up those dark circles, but what about all that redness that makes you look just as tired? By applying an eye brightener, like Smashbox Eye Beam Double-Ended Brightener, you instantly look more awake! The highlight side gives the inner corners of eyes and brow bone a luminous glow, while the brightener side delivers radiant definition when used to line the lower inner rims of eyes. Brighteners combats the redness associated with tired eyes to reveal a fresh, natural look. For a cheaper option, try e.l.f. – they have an Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter that is only $3!
