Does this make your skin look glittery? (vs. shiny)

It gives a very subtle shimmer. Not in a sparkly teenager kinda way, but in a highlight your glow kinda way. Gives a sunkissed look. Not shiny, as the oil absorbs very quickly.

Sorry for the late response, I don't check emails as much as I should. My serum is also light yellow. I seriously can only use it like once or twice a week, if even that. It makes your skin look and feel smooth after it absorbs, but it kinda stings slightly for a few minutes. It can dry your skin out, that's why I say maybe once or twice a week was enough for me.

it has a white sheen when you put it on--which makes your skin look brighter & works great under makeup but as far as noticeable results scares etc. have not noticed any difference----using it makes the skin look better under makeup--

It has no glitter chunks at all. It's a very finely milled shimmer glow. I don't wear glitter either ;)

Not at all. It goes on like a very silky foundation. After a couple hours it doesn't feel silky, but it still looks good. I need to wear a sunscreen all the time and this is the only one I've found that my skin can tolerate.

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

I have very fair skin, but it does not make me look pale or ashy. I think you'd be okay add long as there is something to adsorb the powder onto. Like base, primer, or face lotion.

It is shiny... I use it more when I go to the beach. Maybe try mixing a light moisturizer with it?

It looks like there is tiny glitter, while it's in the bottle, but once you apply it on your nails it's just shiny.

It will be whitish when first applied but wait 3 min and it will make your skin glow. I've been using it 15 years and u have more women ask me how I get my skin to glow. It's this sunscreen. I wouldn't ever use anything else. Nothing else makes my skin so pretty

This is a highlighter, not a foundation or concealer, so you use it as a brightener/shimmer on your cheekbones, nose, chin, eyelids, collarbone, or anywhere else you want light to reflect off your face/body. :) If you put it all over your face, you might end up looking like a vampire from Twilight!

it looks like a light beige color, but I believe it has a whitening agent in it so your face will probably look really white. I've read from other beauty bloggers who have tried this, and they don't even recommend this for people with fair skin.

It is kind of shiny, but not too poly-looking. I'd say it's kind of subtle. If you want no shine at all, this may not be the right one, because there is some shine.

It is shiny and it really works. My nails are strong and long. Hope you give it a try

If you meant brightening in the sense of healthier looking, then yes, my face look brighter. It is not necessary whiter in the skin color, although taking this may contribute similar affects, it is really because the skin gets healthier. I am taking great lengths to achieve this by good dieting and taking in this along with lipo-c daily. I think everyone is different, so I can only say this work for me.

it appears to have glitter in it but when you apply it, it's more of a matte color. I love it. it is a great product.
