What's the deal with the shiny/glowy faces? I watched the country music award show sunday night and all the women had shiny faces. Now Laura Gellar makeup is like this. I know some may like this look and thats ok. This probably will be removed. This is not attractive.

I agree with you, it's not an attractive "glow".... it looks like they've all run a mile and didn't wipe the sweat off....

I agree--that very lovely older blond lady, looked awful in all that glowy, shiny stuff. The other model with the darker hair looked better. Altho not a fan of that look on anyone really.

Strategic glow okay, but not all over like I saw on a portion of a LG presentation today.

After years of "powdering my nose", I can't adjust to the idea that I'm supposed to look greasy.  I hope this trend fades quickly.

my skin is already OILY so I am looking for matte cause I'm naturally gonna be an "OIL SLICK" by mid morning.

I think I'm in the minority here, but I prefer a shiny look for myself.  I'd even take too much "glow" than matte.  I agree that the shiny look is being a little overdone in some cases, but it's the style now I guess.

I know why  I like it.  When I don't use products that produce a (fake) glow, my skin looks dry and I really look a lot older.  This is just my opinion, but it's the way I feel.  If I apply  the "glow" by whatever means (sometimes luminizers and sometimes I actually pat a facial oil onto my skin, very lightly), I feel I look better.  I try to remind myself I don't want  to end up looking like the Tin Man, so I try to control my application.

Obviously thats not real life - it’s for tv so very overdone. In real life a nice subtle glow can be flattering.

I've always avoided the T-zone when applying any kind of highlighters or glow-products. I think as I get older this seems to make me look oily, not glowy, not to mention making me look older with wrinkles that get exaggerated. I much prefer highlighting upper cheeks and that's about it.

I wear highlighter everyday on my cheek bones, my Cupid’s bow and a little on the bridge of my nose. I am not 20 and I don’t highlight like the 20 year olds, but I do like a subtle glow. I think with HD TV and the continual presentations that the models do look over the top at times. 

I think it’s personal preference also. People who are dry want a glow and people who are oily want to be matte. I think the younger girls really overdue the highlighter at times.
