How do YOU apply your glows?

Post by Allyxx » Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:54 pm

Hi ladies...I'm one who LOVES lOVES LOVES glows! I recently recieved Halo and Siren glow. Does anyone have these glows-how do you put them on? DO you do anything special? Where do you put your glows? I'm finding that Siren is a bit harder to work with as its more pigmented...most glows i have tried are very sheer so any help would be much appreciated!

The peaks of my cheeks. not the apples. the peaks... and i like to put Angel or Cherub at the inner "v" of my eye area? Does that make sense?

i think some ladies put it on their cupid's bow. and some on their decolletage?

I've been using Liberty a lot lately: swipe it on top of my blush and the bridge of my nose. Sometimes I use it as under brow highlighter. I also like to put glows on bare shoulders and decolletage :)

I like Siren as a bronzer or even an eye shadow :) ; Crinoline for a sheer blush.

But if I'm applying them 'normally' I go for the high points on my face - cupids bow, brow bone, cheek bones etc to catch the light. Usually with the lighter shades like Halo or Angel.

I usually sweep Crystal or Splendid over my cheeks and across my forehead. That's an especially nice effect if the blush I've used that day is a matte one, because either of those will give that color a subtle sheen.

Charming = very favorite blush (for now :) )

Oh, girl, when I first discovered SN I always had like four or five pages of stuff going. Once I bought a bunch, I was able to keep my wish list to one or two pages just with new stuff or skincare I ran out of. Just go slow and buy lots of samples and pretty soon your wish list will actually be helpful instead of majorly overwhelming. :) I love the blush samples. Actually, I just love samples in general. But the blush samples are the most fun because you get just enough to play with and wear for a few days so you can decide if you want f/s.
