Natural Glow?

[freaksinunif0rm]

This may be kind of similar to my other thread sooo....yeah.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any products (powders maybe?) that would keep my face matte-ish (but not matte matte!) while still having a natural glow? I have even toned skin and I don't wear foundation (studio tech makes me dark). I use the Sheer Loose Powder and it's just a bit too matte (it makes me look a tad dark)! Maybe I should just give up and not wear any face stuff XD.

Oh! and has anyone tried bare minerals multi-tasking minerals or Hyper Real SPF 15 ?

Thanks!

I don't know if you like lower end cosmetics but I really like the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder. It makes my face matte enough but I still see my natural glow coming through. It also keeps your face looking grease-free for around 4-5 hours. I use the shade 004 Sandstorm. I am MAC NC 30 or 35, C4. Could also work for lighter skintones. I use a fluffy powder brush to apply.

Actually, I used that before I started buying MAC products :]...but it seems to make my face kind of powdery :\

Hmm...I just pulled it out and if I use a brush, it looks fine.

But any more recs?

Hyper Real foundation is great for that glow and if you just pair it with some loose blot powder on the shiny areas you will have a nice glowy matte-ish complexion. I like a dewy look but don't like to look greasy so I usually mix a little strobe cream in with it too and then use the blot powder. I love the stuff!

Have you tried spraying Fix+ on your face after you're completely made up? That's how I finally achieved the glow I wanted. I am getting a little travel size spritzer from Target or somewhere this weekend, so I can decant some Fix+ into it for onthe go refreshing throughout the day!
