Foundation Help!

[Juliades]

As most of you know, I'm going to Thursday's prom...I'm trying to find a way to wear minimal face makeup, but still look "made-up" Normally, I would wear foundation and all that, but many MA's have told me that I don't need it and that my skin is already flawless. I do, however use MAC's Pressed Powder in NC35, which is dark for me, because I am so pale with pink undertones, but the MA said it would be a good match to lighten some redness. Is there any type of drugstore moisturizer I could use to achieve a dewy, almost shiny look on the skin? I'm not quite sure how to explain it any other way. Should I blend a bit of shimmer powder with my normal Clinique moisturizer? Any help would be greatly appeciated. I don't desire a "porn-star" shimmer glow, but something that is healthy and professional looking.

Thanks,
Julia

See if you can get a sample of hyper real foundation, then blend it in your palm with moisturizer, about a 2 or 3 to 1 ratio, heavier on the moisturizer.. my skin is in great shape and thats what I do when I just want a bit of glow.

I usually do sheer powder and fix+ under and on top and that it looks light and natural

You could try some strobe cream or maybe add a little Naked Pigment to your regular moisturizer, for a shimmery healthy glow.
Make sure you post some pics of your prom make-up

HTH!
