Glow, Glow, Glow!



























It's March, so this miserable weather is a terrible excuse for Spring here in England.. Every Spring us girls ditch the matte make up options for a little more dewy, shimmery and sheer. I've picked out a few good products to ease us into our Spring make up routines. I've covered foundations, primers, concealers, powders and highlighters.

Foundations.
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua is a perfect Spring foundation. It's light and gives a true glow to the skin, no glitter or shimmer to be seen.
L'Oreal Lumi Magique Light Infusing Foundation is another good one for glow and no shimmer, although it is quite dewy, so maybe not a complete winner for oily skinned gals like me (I just use powder though). It also comes in warmer shades, even the palest (the one I use) is quite warm, meaning it'll be good through out Spring/Summer.
 Soap & Glory Show Good Face I used this religiously all throughout last Spring and Summer, I've repurchased this 3 times and have it in 2 shades, I like it quite a lot.. It's quite a sheer, dewy foundation with plenty of glow. I love wearing this when it's sunny, and even though I have oily skin around my nose, a tiny bit of One Heck Of A Blot by Soap & Glory sorts that out for a good while.

Primers.
L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer I really like this product. It comes out of the packaging as a pearly white colour and blends in to give quite a natural glow, so nothing to in your face, but it also stays a tad lighter than your skin tone, so I use this on my cheek bones and sometimes a tiny bit down the centre of my nose if I'm going out at night (with no photography allowed!)
Benefit That Gal Brightening Face Primer this is pretty old school now, as I've had this for about 2 years now? Maybe more..  The product comes out a pearly/pinky/peach colour, so it's definitely just a cheek/cheek bones primer.

Powders.
Soap & Glory Glow All Out is definitely a shimmery one, but equally as glowy. It's a lovely pinky, peach shade, perfect for cheeks.
Bourjois Java Rice Powder is a very finely milled loose powder with tiny shimmery particles running through it. I like to apply this in a triangle shape under my eyes running down the sides of my nose and a bit in the centre of my forehead.

Concealers/Highlighters.
Soap & Glory Trick & Treatment is a very glowy concealer/almost highlighter. I use this under my eyes and on my cheekbones. It definitely isn't a concealer for spots or blemishes.
L'Oreal Lumi Magique Highlighting Pen is a good quick and easy way to apply a highlighter to the cheekbones, down the centre of the nose and small areas like your cupid's bow.
