Honey Glow is gorgeous as a highlighter for my olive skin. I use it on my body, and it evens out my skin tone, adds radiance, and makes my skin look and feel silky and smooth. This is especially nice on my legs, because I have lots of scars and I'm always bruised from playing with my kids, gardening, etc. This helps make my skin look even, and so healthy. Applied wet, the effect is more intense, and appropriate for evening glamour. I'm a mother of three in a very busy household, so evening glamour isn't something I've yet had the time to actually wear anywhere, but I did play around with the powder one evening just to see what effects I could create. In the daytime I wear a light dusting of this on my neck, arms, & shoulders, and then rub it onto my legs with the sponge. It does have shimmer, so you if you don't like shimmer, and want matte color, this probably isn't for you. Honey Glow doesn't add color to my skin, unless I apply it wet and layer it. The shimmer isn't "glittery" or garish, so the powder makes my skin look and feel smooth and glowing. You'd have to look really, really close to see any individual sparkles, but even if you did, it's so pretty, it works. I have yet to have this rub off on anything, including bedsheets. I have to rub it off with cleanser in the shower, because it doesn't come off easily if just rinsed. Obviously this isn't going to last through vigorous swimming or vigorous athletic activity, but nothing will. This does last until I remove it, and it beats the heck out of streaky, stinky self-tanners, or greasy lotions. Laura Geller has a new Body Frosting called Tahitian Glow, and I cannot wait to be able to purchase it. It looks like it's the one to use for a "tan" look for medium and darker skintones. Honey Glow could probably work as a fake tan on fair skintones, but most likely only if the undertones are yellow. I'm not sure, but Honey Glow may be too golden on cool-toned skin, or show up with dreaded orange tones. I'd recommend Honey Glow as "try before buy" if you have fair skin, and also, if you're Medium/Dark and want a "tanned" look, rather than just a glow, you may want to wait for Tahitian Glow. As nice as this looks on my body, I tried it on my face once, and it looked horrible. It was as if I put a magnifier over my pores and it discovered tiny fine lines I didn't know I had. I've never had a body product that also worked on my face, so this doesn't surprise me. I have Bronze & Brighten for my face, so overall I can pretend I look like a beach goddess while I change diapers and make tuna sandwiches. ;-)
