Get Gorgeous Glowing Skin

Who doesn't love that fresh, clean, shimmery look? Christopher Drummond, makeup artist and creator of Christopher Drummond Beauty shares his advice on how to get gorgeously glowing skin, without looking like a hot oily mess.

How does a girl avoid looking greasy when applying shimmer? It starts with the "shimmer" you are using.  If it is low-grade or if they don't mill it enough, it will be obvious and look like 'glitter'.  Products from Christopher Drummond Beauty, like Saúde Pele ($85, christopherdrummond.com), are so finely milled that you literally can't see there is "shimmer"--even men use it because it 'melts' and blends into the skin. When the mica is finely milled, it will give your skin that radiant look, without looking oily and greasy.

Is the 'glowy' look for every season? Is there any time that you don't want your skin to look healthy and beautiful? I always apply Saúde Pele...it improves the overall look of the skin of the woman I'm using it on.  However, I find in the winter, it works wonders because when we don't have much sun exposure our skin looks ruddy and unhealthy.

How does a girl get the glowy look? It's very simple. Cleanse and moisturize the skin and wait a few minutes for the moisturizer to absorb. Then, apply Saúde Pele radiance booster (remember, less is more!) very lightly with your flat top brush. Concentrate on the cheek bones and forehead.  Then, apply your powder foundation.  This gives the perfect balance of "glow" with oil absorbing properties, so you won't look "shimmered to death".  It simply makes your skin look glowing and beautiful. Plus it has Acai, Green Tea, and other great ingredients to help promote healthy skin from deep down.

Is this look appropriate for the office? Absolutely. I created my products for any woman to wear anytime.  This is not the "high-glam" makeup women are used to.  It's created to improve the look of your skin, while at the same time being good for it...it promotes healthier, more radiant skin.....and not just on the surface level!!!
