What illuminator is, and how to (easily) apply it

Illuminator is a dazzlingly useful product that creates the illusion of supermodel cheekbones, and offers a dame rude levels of glow. It is a wonderful piece of makeup sorcery, yet sadly a lot of women do not know what it is, or how to harness its magic.

Thankfully there is a no-fail application technique for all of us: The Boomerang.

And, as promised, some terrific illuminators:

LIQUID: Benefit Moonbeam and their soon to be released golden bronze version, Sunbeam; Clinique Up-Lighting.
CREAM/GLOSS: Bloom Illuminiser, Becca Bird of Paradise Gloss
POWDER: Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc, MAC Mineralize Skinfinish, Sportsgirl Get Cheeky (a blush-illuminator hybrid.)

Who’s YOUR pick from illuminators Inc.?

Bless you and your wizardry Zoe!! I've been reading through some old posts and was wondering if I was meant to use illuminator and bronzer and if so, how? Then I stumbled across your fantastic video! Thank you!

PS My list of prodz to buy is getting longer by the minute!

Hello Zoe,

I like the simplicity of your makeup in this video for illuminators. Can you tell me what you have used on your face for this video - mainly base and eyes. Also if you have used under eye corrector and concealer, can you note those too.

Thanks!
