I got the chills when I watched Jennifer Hudson sing The Star Spangled Banner for the Super Bowl the other night. That girl can sing! It was her first performance after her terrible family tragedy.

Jennifer sounded and looked beautiful -- her skin was glowing. And I just so happen to know what she used to get it to look that way....

InStyle magazine says that using a 24-carat gold-infused makeup base helps to create a sun-kissed glow. They recommend Guerlain's L'Or Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold ($68) because it "cools, hydrates, and illuminates in one-step."

Want something a little more budget-friendly? I can vouch for Jane Iredale's 24 Karat Gold Dust Powder ($12) -- it also has real gold and I've been known to brush it all over on special occasions. This mineral makeup can also be mixed in your own liquid foundation for a pretty light reflecting sheen.

Like Stevie Nicks sang, Rock on gold dust woman....

About the author Michele Zipp

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.
