Seems many hosts and vendors are wearing makeup
That seems shiny. Is that a new trend? What products have that look.

I personally don't care for the "luminous" look. Reminds me of my teen years and oily skin! On many of the models, the makeup isn't even well blended, especially with blushes and highlighters. As I'm getting older, I prefer a soft matte finish and softer shades that flatter my complexion. And dark, heavy shades of eye makeup call attention to every wrinkle around your eyes. I'll stick to my personal comfort zone.

I don't care for the Luminous look either. It comes off as sweaty and oily on me. I prefer a natural/satin finish.

I think this is a hard look to get right -- and so many don't get it right.  A little bight of luminousity goes a very long way.

@bonnielu There are big differences between shiny, greasy, glowing, etc. I prefer a slight glow, not totally matte or very greasy which can be aging on our skin. 

I'm fairly sure the hosts are loading up on highlighting powders and like the look, but it doesn't translate well on camera or on someone with any texture/pores. A matte finish or full coverage can also be "deadly" as we get older.

When JT hosts any makeup show ,I have it on mute, you can count on her getting two inches from the camera to demo the product on her face. I'm all for fierce aging and being secure with the age you are, but sometimes leave it to the models.....

People who look sweaty are overdoing the highlighter. I use highlighter and sometimes it takes a few tries to get the right application. I want a subtle glow, but nothing harsh. Combining highlight with matte makeup usually creates the look I want. Going all matte doesn't work for me as I need a touch of highlight or bronzer.

That 'shiny' look is straight out of the '80's, so dated and aging!  Shows every flaw and wrinkle, who needs it.

Give me the matte look anytime, Bobbie Brown stick foundation applied with a sponge, powder blush and a light dusting of translucent warm powder over the face, giving a flawless look.

Exactly what @ManyMeows said. I've fought oily skin since my teenage years. To me, a shiny complexion seems greasy and needs to be washed. A clean, healthy complexion is more matte.
