Ahhh, the fabulous look of dewy, radiant skin! It is hard to find something that makes a woman's face glow more. How can you achieve that look when you are feeling less than "glowy"?! I've been using *magic Liquid Powder by Prescriptives in shade Translucent for years now. I've puffed this powder across almost every face I've done, from Amanda Bynes to Gwyneth Paltrow. Why do I love it so much? A few reasons, but first I'll get into what exactly it is, then you'll understand the way it works. I'll also touch on who this product is best for as well as who should avoid it and why.What is *magic Liquid Powder?
Well, first off it's made by Prescriptives. I think Prescriptives has such a great line of products, but this one is definitely my fave. *magic Liquid Powder is a light reflecting loose powder and it happens to be Prescriptives best selling product. I can absolutely see why.
What is light reflecting powder?
Light reflecting powder gives your skin a moister, dewier finish. We're all very familiar with matte face powders like Airspun Coty by Coty. That zaps shine and makes skin look very even and porcelain-like. Light reflecting powder is a more modern approach to finished looking skin: think Jennifer Lopez or Charlize Theron. Their faces have a luminous quality. They catch light.
Is it good for my skin?
*magic Liquid Powder is finely milled and is actually 70% water. When you apply to your face it has a moist, cool feel. If you keep the lid tightly closed it will retain this for the life of you product. This is great for drier skins since it promotes moisture. Women with oilier skin will be fine using this product since it's not anything heavy or pore clogging... it's just good old fashioned H20.
How does it make my skin glow?
Tiny light reflecting orbs are milled into the powder. When I say fine, I mean FINE. This is a sign of a really high end product. Less expensive brands will have larger orbs or flakes of metal to reflect light. That ends up looking almost like confetti on the skin. You want a pearlized, opal-like glow, not that glittered up look.
How do I apply?
Use *magic Liquid Powder as you would any other face powder. Apply it to your face with a fluffy brush after you finish putting on your base. Women with uneven skin texture, or skin with fine lines, may want to try 'finishing' the skin with their usual face powder before applying a light dusting of *magic Liquid Powder.
Who is it the best choice for?
Dry skin benefits the most. Since drier skins sometimes lack depth and vibrancy, this powder brings the face alive!
Who is it NOT the best choice for?
Oilier skinned gals tend to have their own light reflecting quality. This powder may push that dewy finish to the limit and appear too moist.
Better for day or evening?
It's gorgeous at night when all is dim and faces are poised to catch some glimmering light. But during the day it'll give you a young, healthy glow that will cause comments for sure!
So, there you have it. If you've never seen, heard of or tried *magic Liquid Powder by Prescriptives, take a second next time you're at your fave department store to check it out. It's for sure a secret weapon of mine and maybe soon it will be in your arsenal as well!
Enjoy Pretty,
