Sure, the matte trend isn't budging anytime soon, but a dewy complexion is always pretty -- and downright easier to achieve when summer comes around.
And don't worry: We're not talking shiny. A bit of illuminating primer or a touch of highlighter on the brow and cheekbones, and you've got a lit-from-within glow that says "healthy skin."
If you haven't tried the trend yet, here's why you should: The light reflecting particles in these skin illuminators minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, create the illusion of better bone structure, plus they give your skin a well-rested glow (like those annoying superwomen-type girls who somehow manage to look fresh in every situation).
Whether you're looking for a subtle, all-over gleam, want to highlight smaller areas of the face or want something with anti-aging properties, there's an illuminator for you. Just remember: A little goes a long way.
