" A post New Year&amp;#039;s Eve complexion often looks a little sallow\u2014I know mine did the day after...and the day after that. I decided to put this new product that landed on my desk to good use: Bare Escentuals Buxom Divine Goddess Luminizer in Venus, $28, sephora.com. Full disclosure, I&amp;#039;m usually not one to slather on a highlighter because I think it often looks too shimmery-slash-unrealistic looking. But this lightweight cream formula is super subtle and gives your face a dewy appearance. It instantly amped up my complexion and made me look well-rested and fresh\u2014not hungover. Since I don&amp;#039;t usually dabble with luminizer, the only place I chose to apply it was on my cheekbones and then I patted it up and around my orbital (aka eye) bone in a &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; formation. Swiping it on this way allows the light to hit your face and bounce off of your cheeks and eyes, immediately drawing attention to those areas. Bonus: You can use it on your body, too (who doesn&amp;#039;t love gorgeous gams in a mini?!). Like I said, if you need a skin pick me up, this is the easiest way to go (aside from getting some much-needed beauty sleep). But it&amp;#039;s also clutch if you&amp;#039;re looking to add a sexy sheen to your complexion before going out on the town with your girls or your guy. Simply mix a pea-sized amount in with your foundation for an all-over incandescent effect and say hello, gorgeous! Trust me when I say if you wear this highlighter you&amp;#039;re bound to get compliments. I did. So Cosmo girls, try it out and let me know what you think.
