Shimmy in Shimmering Skin!
Seasonal Beauty Trend: Body Shimmer
So I just got off the phone with my dear friend Jason Sanchez, an extremely talented makeup artist who has worked on numerous photo shoots and fashion shows. He’s also an instructor for cosmetology programs for community colleges in the city of Los Angeles. He tells me he has been using body shimmer on his models during holiday shows and photo shoots. This sparkly cosmetic adds glow to any skin tone. You also have the option to use shimmering body lotions for easy application, but for a more natural glimmer effect, it’s best to go with a powder base.
How To Apply:
- Make sure skin is clean and hydrated. Using lotion helps shimmer stay on longer.
- Dab brush in powder (you can also use a loose face powder with shimmer). Remember to tap off excess.
- Brush along neckline and collarbone.
- Then, brush along tops of shoulders and arms (brushing powder along the outer arm area).
- Apply shimmer on tops of legs. The shine will help make your legs look like you’re wearing stockings.
- Target areas where the light will reflect on your body. Do not get carried away with the shimmer (you want it to look natural).
My Body Shimmer Pick: Urban Decay’s Sparkly Sweet Body Powder in Marshmallow flavor. Yummy! This product not only provides sparkle and shine to the skin, but it also makes you taste scrumptious like a holiday treat!
