"Now we're moving onto highlighter and face and body shimmer. If you've ever seen J.Lo pictures when she's out at an event, she's always looks perfect and glowy. Her skin is always amazing. Well, that's either lotion or body shimmer. I'm going to use a powder body shimmer, but you can use a lotion body shimmer. It's all personal preference. As far as the highlighter, I'm going to use a little bit of a shimmery peach. Just on her face, her neck, and her collar bone just to give a bit of a highlight. This is going to look phenomenal when she gets out and about. The highlight just basically goes right above the cheekbone. Put a little on the rest of the face, down the neck. A tiny bit. A little goes a long way. That just gives another little bit of oomph to this look. Then as far as face and body shimmer, I'm using a really potent loose powder. It's called golden bronze. A little bit goes a long way. What I normally so is work right out of the cap. I'm going to take a little on my brush and go all over the body. Wherever is showing. The shoulders, chest, the neck. Then a light brush all over the face. I mean light. This is a very potent shimmer powder. If you want to take a look right here on my hand, this can go on really dark. You really just want to put it on ever so lightly just to get a little bit of a glow. On the legs, anywhere that's showing. It'll look like your skin is perfect."
