I swipe on an eye shadow (I like powders) that is slightly lighter
than my skin tone over the entire lid, followed by a light brown shade on my lower eyelid and a slightly darker shade just in my eyelid crease.
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 -
So swirl your tapered blending brush
over a warm, soft - brown shadow (only a few shades darker
than your natural
skin tone) and blend it into the outer V of your eye, sweeping it from your lash line to the middle of your crease.
If your
skin tone is beige
than you are going to looked washed out if you wear it all
over, but someone who has an olive, medium, or dark complexion may be able to get away with it.
Use a concealer slightly lighter
than your
skin tone underneath and
over the arch to ensure a smooth and consistent line, and to highlight and complement your shaped brows.
