Many years ago I used something from YSL that was similar to this, almost like the glow shots, had a gel / whipped texture with slight shimmer - I would get asked what foundation I was using by so many and I'd tell them... of course when you like something it goes away - When I saw this in the Chicago Social magazine I wanted to give it a try - Unfortunately YSL is the only place it's sold currently, so I had to go by swatches of YSL shades to guess what I should use - I got B40, I have olive skin - tone, with neutral undertones, in Armani Luminous Silk I am 5.25 - I could have gone to B30, but I like the glow it gives me - The only difference from this foundation to the one I mentioned I used years ago is there no shimmer in this formula - When tested on my hand against the Armani Luminous Silk, the YSL doesn't move as fluidly, however on my
face it went on very easy over my Omorovizca Gold Rescue
Cream, which is very
heavy - I think with less moisture on my
face it will look more matte, but I prefer a very dewy finish - It does cover up any imperfections, for me it's maybe an area that is a tad red, and so far as held up well - It's not like I am some outside laborer, I work inside behind a computer so it shouldn't start melting or anything... if so I'm concerned for my well being in general - It does give more coverage than Luminous Silk, so I think most will be happy with that, as well seems to adhere to the
face pretty well - I can see this being a pretty big hit for Spring foundations and even the summer - I applied this morning with a brush and it took the lovely blast of 18 * while walking to my office, walked in looking dewy so cheers to All In One Glow for keeping me glowy as I pretend to enjoy working -
