I don’t feel dressed without blush and highlighter, but as I get older the consistency of the products I use needs to be hydrating and blend seamlessly into my skin, Here are the latest from vegan, cruelty-free makeup brand jane iredale, which give an instant lit-from-within glow says editor Trudi Brewer.

What’s in it?
Easy to use, glide-on creamy highlighters and blush in travel-friendly sticks. Designed to wear anywhere on the face or the body, they melt into the skin in minutes, thanks to the jojoba seed oil that hydrates while leaving a sheen. And the pretty natural-looking shimmer is thanks to natural mica powders. Here’s why you need at least one.
How to use it?
Once you learn the power of highlighting and contouring your skin, you will be hooked. Here are my tips.
Use the Glow Time Highliger Sick to the highest points of your cheekbones, where the light hits your face and blends with your fingers or a foundation brush.
When it comes to selecting the right shade to suit your complexion, if you have fair to medium skin, look for something with pink undertones. Gold shades flatter darker skin tones, and champagne or peach tones are universally flattering on any skin tone.
You can also use the highlighters on your brow bone, the bridge of your nose and also onto your cupid’s bow.
To contour with cream blush, dot the colour just under the cheekbone, or for a flush of colour, dot it on the apples of your cheeks. Always blend well with your fingers or a blush brush.
To get a believable-looking pop of colour, go two shades darker than your natural skin tone.
