For a sheer glow, look for an illuminating formula to keep minimal summer makeup glowing. The key is to shine strategically on the tops of the cheekbones and brow bones and down the bridge of the nose. “That takes a little practice—don’t go all the way to the tip of the nose, or it will look oily.
TIME for CREAM and GEL based products
