Satin-glow base make-up products are the new must-haves for flawless-looking skin.
They do not leave the face looking too dewy or greasy. The finish is not too matte either, so the skin looks translucent and healthy.
Such products come in the form of foundations, primers or compact powders. Some also come with additional skincare benefits and UV protection.
