Luminous Makeup


I am fortunate to have a big window spanning an entire wall, with a panoramic view of some magnificent trees on the street opposite. Spring is definitely in the air. The flowering trees are sprinkled with pink and white blossoms. This time of year is much treasured as come summer, the pinks and purples will be replaced by a monotone green.

Spring is also the season skincare brands start pushing their whitening products. Whitening is taken to a new height this year by the many brands introducing the "luminous look". Having a flawless complexion is simply not good enough, the skin should be glowing with light. Right.

Amongst the onslaught of catalogues, the one that has caught my eye is the meteorite pearls by Guerlain. It's a finishing powder that promises to bring a pearl like glow to your face. The pastel pearls come in different tints. All it takes is swirling the makeup brush to pick up the brightening hues to bring out a glow not found in ordinary powders.

I would love to try the new powder, though it would have to wait till my quality of sleep improves, because no amount of makeup could cover the the sallow complexion of fatigue. My luminous equation~ 70% good night's sleep+20% good skincare routine+10% makeup. When the 70% finally happens, I will definitely go to the Guerlain counter to see if the meteorite pearl lives up to its promise.
