"So now I'm going to do a face and body shimmer. Because this is going to be a little more of a nighttime look or going out look, and we're using shiny silvers and pinks, I'm going to do a face and body shimmer. And she's got a beautiful outfit on with a bit of skin showing, so its good to have a shimmer. It's always to have a good shimmer powder. I chose a like a pinky-silver one. You can do many different colors of shimmer powder. I just like this one in particular because it's not so glittery and it doesn't have a lot of color either. We want it to look pretty natural. Get a nice fluffy brush and just dip right into it and go all over the neck and the chest. Whatever is showing. Like, she's got her chest showing so we really want to put some glitter over there. It's just going to look really nice and make her skin look smooth. On the shoulders and the arms, whatever is showing. The legs, just put a little bit of shimmer and it's going to make a huge difference when you're out and about at night, people are going to see that your skin is glowy. And also take a tiny bit, and not too much because you don't want your face to look like a huge ball of glitter, but onto the cheek bones. If you do just a little bit of glitter on the cheek bones, it's going to look really beautiful. And you can also dust a little bit all over the face just to make sure everything is even, but really concentrate it on the cheek bones, the neck, the chest, whatever is showing, the arms. And it will just make a huge difference for a nighttime look. This is also a color you can use on the eyes to give a nice little pink shimmer just to run out the door. So it's very versatile. It's always good to have a nice little shimmer powder."
