Achieve a perfect day glow with the Smashbox Illuminator Artificial Light

There is always time and reason to celebrate an awesome product, especially if it’s a multi-tasker. This touch of gold pigment does just that—gives any of your favorite makeup items a hint of glimmer and glow.

One of our favorite uses is mixing with a great primer and blending into your hilite zones; cheek bones, outer brow line, etc. Splash alone on your lids for an awesome dewy color, or blend the smallest amount into cheeks for a nude cheek tone with some pop.

Is Intuitive Makeup For Me?

Is intuitive makeup for me? It sounds great, but is their such a thing as “customizable” cosmetics?

Self-Adjusting Products have been popping up all over the beauty market. Through science, these products claim to adapt to your skin tone on contact.

These formulas are great for women who want a look that’s…

Light

Dewy

Effortless

Glowing

Intuitive Makeup products are great, because they allow you to achieve naturally polished skin- without the prolonged prep time.

GREAT FOR GALS ON THE GO

These makeups will leave you with a nice, natural, sunny glow. Best part? You’ll feel like you’re not wearing any makeup at all!

  • Smooth consistency
  • Moisturizing but not oily
  • Blends really well
  • Nice summer glow, any time of year

Benefits

  • Some formulas have skin firming peptides, to help even out fine lines
  • Easy to choose a color- have to choose between 3 shades, rather than 12!
  • TIME SAVING
  • Allows for natural look and coverage
  • A little goes a long way

Though the brands tend to market the products as being (to a certain extent) magical, The science behind the products is really quite simple:

OPAQUE PRODUCTS change color on your skin as a result of the force of application. The more rubbing you do, the more natural the color appears

SHEER GELS change color due to a combination of:

- Force

- Moisture

- Body Heat

Even though there’s no “magic” to self-adjusting makeup, you’ll find that most of the products go on skin sheer enough to flatter a wide array of skin tones!
