I've tried loads of different mineral make ups (JI, Lauress (but ,) but am looking for one that gives a glow/ shine. I heard that BE does this, but having bought some, not enough for me. Does anyone know of a brand that does, or whether there's a finishing powder that glows? I am looking for glow rather than glitter, products such as BE's clear radiance are too glittery rather than glowy!!!  Lauress have changed their products recently to make them more glowy - has anyone tried the new stuff? |

| I sometimes mix in some Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder into my regular Alima at night. Got this tip from another member here, and it works well for me, although I suspect I've overdone it on occasion. |

Aromaleigh have brought out a finishing powder just for this reason - to give the glowy look that BE gives minus the irritating things in BE (like Bismuth)it doesn't emphasise lines or pores like BE does either!.
I have some and mix it with their Coquille Lilas correcting powder for day time as I tend to shine on my T Zone anyway. This is what it says on the website:
"Luminesce Divine is designed for those who adore Aromaleigh's Voilé and Glissade matte mineral cosmetic foundation powders, but would love a finishing powder that offers them some of the glowy or dewy look that many of the commercially available mineral cosmetic foundation powders provide. In particular, world-reknowned mineral makeup brand Bare Escentuals."

| I have tried LaurEss' new formula and it is more luminous then the original but nowhere near the glow of BE. Tis is my new favorite foundation and I highly recommend everyone try it, since I love it so much, but if BE didn't glow enough for you, LaurEss won't either. Maybe EDM's original glow formula? |

| MAD's Flash Glow or Silk Veil. I got samples of both but they're wayyyy too glowy for me. Might be just what you want. |

I'm in love with this stuff! Just when i thought my skin couldn't look any better with my Alima MMU, i mix a little of this in and voila, gorgeous dewy lit-from-within skin. It's currently 25% off right now so now couldn't be a better time to try it. |

| Lily Lolo Stardust gives a nice glow, but nothing like BE. Their samples are so cheap and definitely are worth a try. |

Lumiere Mineral makeup has three types of minerals, Flawless, Veena Velvet and their newest Luminesse. The Luminesse is suppose to have a beautiful glow to it. I just ordered it today. I normally use their Veena Velvet.

Pips, have you tried Everyday Minerals Original Glo foundation? I tried it once and thought it was just excessively shiny, so it might be just the thing for you.
Another option would be Alima's Illuminating Shimmer powder. I use this stuff on my cheekbones and brow bones and it brings an incredible, other-worldly glow to my face. If you find a foundation you like and you just think it's not quite glowy enough, why not mix a little of this powder in? |

I'm such a knob for not thinking of Alima's illuminating powders since i'm so in love with the foundation. Lisey, do the powders have sparkles in them? |

dollbird, to me it's more like a "glow" than actual sparkles. It's very pretty! |

Not like those big glittery sparkles, but glowy shimmer. They look really wet and glowy. I LOVE them!! You can use them to highlight your features. Luna gives a really natural glow for me. |
