I use YBF (Your best friend) found on HSN - (used to be on QVC as Models Preferred). I use the bb cream - it has a little shimmer to it so I put a little on my finger and then my tinted moisturizer and mix the two together and apply. It gives a slight dewy look.

Eww! I would NOT be able to put extra oil onto my skin, it would look greasy. I have used luminizers, but I don't like putting yet another layer of something on my face. I like using a rosewater spritz or a product I used to be able to find easily made by "Joelle". It is a makeup setting spritz, but leaves your face with a dewy glow.

I use Chanel Illuminating Base or Laura Mercier's Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer, but there are other products out their with just a touch of illumination to give that dewy look.

Menopause was my first throught, however I have been using BareMinerals since 2000 and I have found that if after my primer and buffing in original BareMinerals I use a light dusting of either their Flawless or Bare Radience. It adds just a hint of all over color and just the right amount of glow. A customer in my showroom even commented the other day, asking me how I obtained my "glow" Give it a try.

I have been using and loving Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer-you can either mix it with your foundation-depending on the color you choose or just use it as a blush-which is what I do, because I have slightly oily skin, so as a blush its gorgeous and gives me that glow! They are very very expensive but last forever as you just need a tiny bit!!!!They have won numerous awards and I can see why-they are fantastic!!!

Is the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm a mask, primer, luminizer or what? I'll find it online and check it out.

Sounds interesting!

I use it like moisturizer or primer. If my skin is really dry I'll actually use my normal moisturizer first then the balm or use your favorite serum and then the balm. If you have really dry skin, it does't provide enough moisture IMO to relieve that dry skin. I've used it as a mask but prefer it as a moisturizer or primer. There is a video on Clarins web page that shows you how to use it. Let it dry for at least 2 minutes and then apply your foundation. You can feel your face tighten up after it drys down and it has that subtle dewy finish. No sparkles, glitter or shimmer.

I just received bareminerals new oil, and I used the tip that Jill Bauer offered. She said take a drop, rub fingertips together, then press onto your cheekbones !!!! I tried it and I like the way it looked....I guess you could do it with the argan oil or tarte's oil too, but I think bareminerals oil is lighter and doesn't feel as "oily".

For my skin, Sonia Kashuk's Perfecting Translucent Illuminator is the answer. $15 at Target. It adds very, very subtle dewiness, without adding shine, which other brands do to my skin. No glittery effect either, like some have. I mix a drop of it with my Elta MD tinted 41 spf in the morning and my skin is dewy all day. You can also mix a drop into any foundation.

One pump of this ^ with one pump of medium to full coverage liquid foundation.

It turns mediocre, flat, liquid foundation into pretty foundation.

I use the pressed style, mineral foundation from Avon and my skin lightly glows and looks dewy all over. Love it. Cheap, too.
