Swell Makeup: Bronzer & Highlighter

I've had sick kids home with me the last couple of days. Yesterday I had an almost completely computer-free day while we hung out and watched TV. They both seem better today, but neither kid is even close to 100%. It's too pretty outside to be sick!


The people at Mark sent me one of their new Glowdacious Illuminating Powders in the Shimmied Up colors. The product contains 3 colors of highlighter/bronzer with just a touch of shimmer to it. The compact comes with a built in mirror and there's a place to store your makeup brush under the makeup. You can find it at MeetMark.com where it retails for $12.

The product can be used without or without foundation and it's formulated without oils or fragrance, so it's safe for sensitive skin. They recommend the Prettied Up for fair skin, the Shimmied Up for medium, and the Amped Up for dark skin tones.

Bailey, my 18 year old, has been using the Shimmied Up regularly since it arrived. She said she likes to swirl the brush through all three colors for bronzing her face. She uses the darkest color (outer rim) to deepen her eye makeup at the crease. She likes that the product is so easy to use, that it fits easily in her purse-size makeup kit, and that you can use the colors however you want - all at once, or individually. Everything you need in one little kit for the perfect Summery glow, without the sun.
