Hello

Is there something wonderful I can buy to add to my current matte foundation to make my face glow?

Many thanks

Highlighter/strobing drops is what you are thinking of

I bought something cheap called 'liquid radiance' and it works really well, its like a subtle sheen of gold.

That sounds like the thing, any idea what make you have?

Bare minerals prime time illuminate one. It’s brill. Wear in its own or as a primer

What's your budget? And do you like 'glow' or a bit of actual glitter? Metallic highlight or more dewy and natural?

For high end, I do like Hourglass powders, or Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood glow which you can use under, or over your foundation. Cheaper but lovely are things like the Revolution palette of highlighters, or Number 7 has a very nice liquid highlighter that you could mix with a foundation.

I love Becca for glow, my favourite is the Becca Backlight Priming Filter - Space NK do it.

No glitter!! Far too old. Just an angelic glow.
I'm easy ish on budget.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll have a toddle into town and check them all out

I like the Illamasqua beyond powder. Its a baked highlighing powder and you can use a little dry for subtle effect or apply wet for something more dramatic. No glitter!

I like the Estée Lauder illuminator - m.esteelauder.co.uk/product/631/46413/product-catalog/makeup/the-illuminator/radiant-perfecting-primer-finisher

I just blend a little bit over the top of my foundation.
