Can anyone give me some good suggestions for an illuminating primer or product I can mix with my foundation to get a nice glow. I'm already a fan of highlighting but I want something more with a glow finish for my foundation.

Although I don't think it's actually a primer I love the MAC Strobe Cream! I put it where I want some extra glow then apply my foundation and it gives my highlighter a little extra kick. I haven't tried mixing it with my foundation yet but I know you can do that as well (:

Oh thanks Alexis for that tip! I will definitely look into the Mac strobe cream. Do you have any recommendations for anything similar at Sephora as I have a gift card there. But if not I can still look into Mac!

Becca has a primer that I really like, but I don't consider it to be much of a "primer" exactly, it just gives me a glow but doesn't really prime like it should. But, I also like mixing their liquid highlighters with a primer which gives a really nice glow too.

I use strobe cream like Alexis but I have dry skin so I apply it all over my face like I would a moisturizer. From Sephora I like beccas liquid highlighter in opal and I mix it with foundation.

What shade of the liquid illuminate is best for olive complexions?

I like these 2. The white one is an actual primer with a glow. The Golden one is an illuminator but I mix that with foundation also. I have an olive undertone and both these products work well with my skintone. But, I do have to be careful of the Golden one because it can darken my foundation if I add too much.

Look into any face product that uses the word's radiance, illuminating finish. I agree with Mac strobe cream and I recommend boots N7 instant Radiance beauty balm, it's my back up when I'm not using strobe cream. :)

Wow thanks Alma and Melissa.

Alma, I didn't even realize No7 had a cream like that. Thanks for the tip!

Melissa and how do you like the buxom luminous goddess? Do you use it often?
