A bit of shimmer on the décolletage can be incredibly pretty paired with upswept hair and minimal jewelry. I’ve found most shimmery lotions to be far too shimmery, but these two options work beautifully.

To ensure you get just the amount of shine you’re aiming for, add a shake or two of loose mineral powder like DEX New York Mineral Loose Pigment ($22 at DEX New York) to a dime-sized drop of the lotion you already use. A little goes a very long way.

A pre-fab solution: Michael Kors Leg Shine To Go ($10). It has a very subtle bronzy tint and – my favorite part – smells like the eponymous scent. It twists up like deodorant, so it’s easy to swipe it along your collarbone.

    I love glow lotions, but not the ones with self-tanner in them. Honestly, I’ve tried a half dozen self-tanning lotions and every one of them made me orange. So the best thing for me is to just use a lotion with a shimmer to it which gives my skin a pretty sheen without any obnoxious color. My favorite this year is called Glamour Girl and its all natural with essential oils–and it has shea butter which makes it actually good for the skin. http://www.salonhive.com/glamour-girl-glow-lotion.html
