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

Bit like this

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

Agree with bakedpotato (see link)

excellent stuff

I wear Clarins Beauty Flash balm under foundation or tinted moisturiser. Makes a massive difference.

I've got lilylolo - on MrsB's previous recommendation, as it happens - and suspect I must be doing it wrong. It makes me look like a great big powder compact.

Also drink lots of water leading up to big night out - can't be bothered to all the time to.'

Oooo, more stuff, thank you. Shall be printing off. Got some of the LilyLolo whatever they're called testers for eyeshadow - some garish, some good. Shall look at their other stuff as well now.

Another question please. All these shimmering dewy things - do you put anything on top? I feel a bit sticky without any sort of powder on top of foundations.

Ahem

mac strobe cream

can be used on own and under makeup

Another fan of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm here. Use it under a light reflecting foundation and you will look radiant

Is that really true? I've been waiting to have enough disposable income to justify buying Flash Balm for about 20 years. Can I just use witch hazel instead?

Tis great if a bit pricey.
Prefer it to Clarins Beauty Flash.

I second Boobi Brown shimmer brick...it makes my skin look 'glowy' said my 15 yr old - and she is critical to the extreme so high praise indeed!!!

Loreal face cream

bronzer, mascara

My mother always said I would be grateful for my oily skin later in life ...
ROFL at you lot paying to look shiny when all I have ever wanted is to NOT look shiny ...

FWIW ... I inherited my skin from my mother ... she had oily skin all her life and now, at 67, has hardly a wrinkle. MIL on the other hand, has skin like an old leather boot

Err... sweat? My face always looks dewy when I've come back from a 3 mile run . Mind you it's also fairly pink and blotchy too...

IT's not shiney - it's dewy.
I know it sounds silly but there is a difference in the look.
