Yes Gemini, the model above is gorgeous - I would love to achieve her look right now! I'm in serious need of a makeover! But I need someone else to do it for me so I don't slip into the same old comfortable habits...
I love illuminisers...

This illuminiser looks great. Im yet to experiment with one and this one looks like it has more of a sliver sheen to a gold one, which is what i need.

I'll agree with everyone and say I love the models makeup as well. Love the green eyeshadow and rosey cheeks - very girly. I've tried Blooms illuminiser and think it's great for contouring features :)

How about a real "swap shop" where bh readers can actually swap make up, perfumes, etc that don't work for them?

I've been wanting to try illumiser for a long time but have never been sure how it will look. I love the looks in magazines etc but want it to look natural as well....think I'll give this one a go
