The easiest way to add a bit of bling to your skin is to mix a loose shimmer powder in with your moisturizer or foundation. This will give your skin a lively, radiant glow. Just don't OD on the luminizer, or your skin will look frosted.

For a healthy glow, Daoud says to apply a shimmer highlighter on the cheekbones, temples, and down the center of the nose to reflect light and add “jewels” to the face. "The golden rule is to keep the shimmer on the high points of the face, and try not to overdo it with shimmer shadow, liner, and lipstick all at once or you’ll end up looking like a disco ball," she says. Instead, pair your glowy skin with a neutral blush, a barely-there shadow, and a matte lip, for a sophisticated look that still sparkles.
