Illuminators
Luminescence is a stealth beauty effect, lighting
up your face like a light bulb under your skin to
enhance all your features. There are a huge number
of products that deliver glow, in formulations you
can simply skim over bare skin or your makeup.
Luminisers look great above the cheekbone and
around the inner corner of your eyes. Sweep a veil
of luminescence over the tops of your cheekbones,
your forehead, the outline of your upper lip or a dab
on your chin or nose. Keep it away from areas with
wrinkles; it will just bring attention to them. You can
also use them on the brow bone. Don’t forget to
blend, blend, blend!
A highlighter is perfect to dab small amounts
on top of your cheekbone - from the apple of the
cheek and up through to the hairline. This adds
light-reflectors, and makes your skin look fresh and
youthful. Use small amounts on the inner corner of
the eye to add a “pop”, under the brow bone to
lift the eye, on the cheekbones for added definition
and down the T-zone to add light to dull skin.
Blend with fingertips to create an even and flawless
complexion.

Blush
No matter how old you are, wearing blush is a must. It
enhances facial features and replaces luminosity of the
skin that fades with age.
Generally speaking, peach-based tones work well
with just about any complexion. They add warmth and a
‘lift’ to the appearance and work nicely with illuminators
and bronzers.
Apply to the apples of your cheeks and across the
temples when a warmer colour is used. Blush is very
feminine, pretty and natural, and we love a pretty, soft
pop of colour on the apples of the cheeks for that
gorgeous glow.
