I want to get a foundation to achieve a dewey look. I've decided to go with either YSL
le teint touche eclat Illuminating or with Dior skin glow. Has anyone used either of these that could give opinions? I do have combo/oily skin.

I'm totally interested in this thread, since I myself have been looking for one. What I've been doing lately is that I mix my everyday foundation with a shimmering powder I bought out of impulse and had no idea what to do with. The results are pretty awesome, since I have also combo skin and I'm scared of changing to a foundation that might break me out.

What I personally like to do is mix the hard candy glow all the way illuminator in doll face with my foundation.

Kimberly, if you have oily skin you will hate the YSL. (Sorry I don't know about the other). I have dry skin & it was a struggle for me to keep the YSL in place. It's so wet! My face kinda felt wet too. It never set. & I didn't want to set it with powder bcuz then it's matte all of a sudden.

Thank you! so very helpful. I think it'll be hard to get a dewey foundation that works with oily skin :( but that is definitely good to know so YSL is out lol.

I love the Nars sheer flow personally. I found it lightweight but still gave me the look I was wanting to achieve.

If you are looking for that "ultimate foundation" to make you look airbrushed and give you that healthy dewy glow while still covering up imperfections then you need to try Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. It is super lightweight with a silky texture that is easy to blend and adds a gorgeous glow to the skin. I recently did a review about this foundation on my YouTube beauty channel...you should check it out. I swear once you try it you will be in love :)

Silver shimmer powder from sisheido. It is extremely fine and pretty useless in its own, I most confess lol!

I have been mixing my Nars sheer glow with a liquid illuminator like the Mac luster drops and it gives me that JLo and using a blotting powder to stay oil free during the day!

I have the ysl touche eclat foundation and have combo skin and had no problems with it becoming oily or greasy. I use one pump for my entire face and dust it with powder and was good to go. I didnt even really use concealer with it. everyone is different but I really loved that foundation. I am used to doing matte looks and wanted something different and picked up the ysl and am so glad I did...I absolutely love it. we are not allowed to wear make up at work and I get away with wearing this every single day:)
