How to buy a good skin illuminator<\/h2>\n
There are several factors you should consider when shopping for a skin illuminator. The most important one is your skin tone and type. Most illuminators are designed to work on a wide variety of skin types and tones. They work well for oily skin and just as well for dry skin. They also work great for both light and dark skin shades.<\/p>\n
But for the best results, try to find an illuminator that matches your skin, especially the tone. You want the illuminator to blend in with your skin rather than create an uneven tone that looks out of place.<\/p>\n
If you have extra oily skin, look for an illuminator that tones down the oiliness without making your skin dull. If your skin tends to get dry, find an illuminator with moisturizing ingredients. The Max Factor Skin Luminizer Foundation is a good example.<\/p>\n
In regards to safety, make sure the illuminator will not cause any reaction on your skin. Check the ingredients list for anything that would cause sensitivity issues. This is especially important if you have sensitive skin.<\/p>\n
Finally, get a versatile illuminator. Ideally, it should work both alone and with other products and you can use it on your face or body. This allows you to use the illuminator for different situations. If you are going to a formal event for example, you can use it as a primer before applying foundation. This gives your face subtle radiance.<\/p>\n
FAQs<\/h2>\nQ: What is skin illuminator?<\/h4>\n
A skin illuminator is a make up product designed to give your skin a healthy looking glow. Illuminators are used over the whole face to give a soft, luminous glow, unlike a highlighter which is used to accentuate certain areas.<\/p>\n
You can get illuminators in powder or cream form, and you can wear it however you like. Some people like to mix it with foundation for a soft look, or apply it over your foundation to give a healthy looking glow.<\/p>\n

Q: What\u2019s the difference between highlighter and illuminator?<\/h4>\n
A highlighter and an illuminator serve similar functions – they are used to make your skin look better.
