How do people get that sheeny, satiny, dewy look on their faces? What are they using?

[Tinker]

Bit like this

Obviously age, or lack of it, helps but products? Which ones? Why don't I look like that?

oooh may I recommend for the umpteeth time Boujois powder blush in Rouge Brun (or summat)

about a fiver

makes you look like you have had sleep when you have not

I love Bourjois and speaking of it - 10 hour sleep foundation also excellent

Yeah but I suffer from mild rosacea and if i had a sheen look I would just look hot red and sweaty!

what to do, what to do.....

I favour the matt look I think.

mineral make-up is excellent for disguising rosacea, along with green corrective base of course.

collision, try the Blush-Away here

at 49p a tester you can't go far wrong

sleep

I use the green stuff but what is mineral makeup.

What is the stuff you recommend Mrs B and why does it work?

It is such a fine line between dewy and chip pan face, that mere mortals (i.e. those without a personal make up artist following them around all day) adopt it at their peril!

I have used benefits high beam myself, and it looked okay in evening light but the photographs have a rather ghostly look about them!

mineral make-up such as id minerals or Loreal do a reasonably priced one for £6.99 I think that is pretty good and worth trying to see if it suits you.

Very lightweight and covers everything and gives the skin a really soft silky look - it is a foundation powder that you blend into your skin with a brush - takes a bit of practice but it gives really good, longlasting coverage and would sort the rosacea out no probs.

Mineral makeup is weird - tis not like normal powder but I am not sure why.
Something to do with it only being ground-up rocks, with no oil or starch or filler in so it doesn't mix with the oils on your skin to produce goo that sits in your pores / wrinkles.

The one I suggested is the anti-redness version of it - I've ordered a tester of the anti-eyebag one and we shall see how it goes.

oooh am intrigued.

Just use sparingly MrsB and blend well and you'll be chuffed with it I'm sure (am big mineral convert for all the reasons you stated)

Botox.

am already impressed with LilyLolo for offering testers without having to approach gurning ornage women in white coats - wish other places did the same...

drugs!

fio

oooh i'd love to try mineral make up

I use Superdrug's high natural instant radiance balm which is about a fiver and gives the same effect

Vaseline

and a make up artist

Don't forget the airbrush.

A brilliant photographer.

And the ones sporting such a 'look' are all about 20-years-old.

whoever uses lilylolo will not be disappointed tis ace stuff
I also love Nars laguna bronzer, in place of foundation.
