Looking for a Liquid Luminizer

I have been using a powdered luminizer or face illuminator for about 2-3 years. I find that it is starting to make my face look dry within 2-3 hours of brushing it on. As I am getting a "bit" older, I've noticed that my skin is getting more dry, even though I still have an oily t-zone. I want to switch to a liquid product but I have no idea where to begin.

I need to be sure that it is not an oily product to begin with, or I'll have a mess on my face by noon!

Thanks friends!

Laura Mercier has a new primer called Primer Radiance Bronze. First apply to face then cover with tinted moisturizer or your foundation. You will end up with a healthy glow and you won't be shiny. Josie Maran has a very nice liquid luminizer too.

Josie Maran is good, but I also like Revlon Skinlights! It's a great price for a good amount of product. I just mix a little with my tinted moisturizer or foundation. Smiley Happy

Oh!! Boots hi-lights is also fabulous. It is a great value, as well. You can get it at Target or their website. Beauty dot com, etc might also have it. It is a great dupe for benefit high beam. Waaaaaay more for the price, though!

I have been using Becca's for a month now. Sometimes I mix it with my moisturizer/lotion, but you have to be careful to use a small amount(less is more). If you use too much, it can make you look oily. I have moonstone and opal and they are both really pretty.

RMS Beauty as an excellent cream highlighter. It is incredibly natural but somehow really highlights well. No glitter. No fake look. Lasts well. Best I have ever used.

I use IT's Hello Light Crème Illuminator. It comes in a compact and is very creamy and not drying.
