A few drops of body oil lend a beautiful sheen and enhance the shape and muscle tone (this is why bodybuilders put oil on their skin for competitions). Any body oil will do the trick, but one with shimmer added to it will give a nicer glow. If you prefer to work with a powder-shimmer product, invest in a large cosmetic body brush to apply it. A smaller powder brush made for the face tends to leave concentrated streaks on a larger area of the skin.
Always keep shimmer to a minimum; just dust a touch over the clavicle bones, shoulders, sides of the upper arms, and décolletage. This is an accent, meant to provide only a hint of reflection, and should not be overdone. Apply these products after getting dressed, so that you are not sliding clothing over oily or shimmery skin.
