I want to get that glowy look that all the stars seem to have. I have tried mineral versions - MAD satin glow (little effect that I could see) and flash glo(which was too glittery). I want to glow not glitter or shine- it looks almost pearly. Although I like minerals any suggestions for products would be welcome!
Thanks

| pips, I would suggest Jane Iredale Moonglow. It's a subtle shimmery glow with real gold flakes in it. It's not glittery but it does make an impact. I wore it to an event and people commented all night about my skin. They sell it on EDS. |

| I use NCN Mineral Sheer Tint. It's mineral based, gives a nice dewy finish plus it has an SPF of 20. |

| I love Vichy tinted moisturizer, it give me a fresh faced glow that is light and natural. I think I have heard through MUA that Vichy is only available in Canada |

| I mix a little Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder (the white shade) into my MMU whenever I'm going out at night. Got this tip from one of the other members here. Creates a really nice effect, not sparkly, but just adds a little "glow". I have quite pale skin though, so not sure how this will work for darker skin tones. |

| Becca makes some awesome glowing powders. Also, a lot of mineral makeup companies make really good glowing powders, such as meowcosmetics and mineralboutique. |

| I'm not sure if you are looking for "glowy" as in slightly pearlescent or "dewy" as in not matte or dry looking. If it's dewy you want, I recommend Chanel Vitalumiere foundation. |

| How about Lumiere Luminesse? Its supposed to be like BE but without the bismuth which can be irritating to some skins. The price is great too! |

| NARS Albatross highlighter. Pure glow, no glitter. Rather than settling into tiny lines it actually blurs them. |

| Second on the albatross blush- a little placed high on forehead, across tops of cheekbones and inner corner of each eye - really brightens things up - not obvious, but obvious! |

| Hi Pips and Lucyluc...yes Moonglow is more of a bronzer than a foundation, but if you've got an even skintone (either naturally or through a light powder foundation) it's a great way to add a "glow" to your look. It's been around for a long time and is an award-winning product used by celebs and always in beauty magazines. |

Apologies, am a lil' dense... 
Should moonglow be mix together with MMU base, or applied separately on top like a finishing powder? |

| I put it on top of my MMU base (JI pressed base). It wouldn't really show up otherwise. It's a pressed powder, so you can just dust it on top, with a blush brush type brush, or a kabuki. |

I have found foundations like Armanis Luminous Silk Foundation and Becca's Luminous Skin Foundation give a nice dewy look.
I really like Becca's Pressed Shimmer Powders - they are great subtle highlighters that give light to the face without the obvious glitter (I don't like a lot glitter on the face). The powders also come in several shades, depending on the look you want. |
