What is your secret to glowing skin?
Believe it or not, when I was young I had this policy: “utility is more important than beauty”. But as I grew up and entered into high school, facing harsh realities of this world, I learned “both beauty and utility are of equal importance!”.So I started working on my skin…I used to look like thisPs: sorry the picture isn't clear…but I had one picture of me from that time period.So, back to the point…I started to follow a regular schedule/habit for my skin:Indeed, as said “drinking water regularly”Washing my face 3–4 times a day (can vary depending on skin type, I had oily, hence 3 to 4)Using the correct product to wash my skin. Since I had both oily _and_ dark skin. I went for something which had a minute quantity of tea tree oil in it. ( It will give you both glowing skin and also control the oil)Applied various home made facepacks to see which suited my skin the best and then continued to use them. (you can browse for them on the internet easily, though the ones containing gram flour are the best, in my opinion).Sleep is must for beautiful skin, 7–8 hours a day keeps blemishes, wrinkles and other skin problems awayLemon-yes, Lemon. The actual secret of my glowing skin is lemon (& that tea tree product, too). It just cuts the oil off my skin and de-toxifies it. I just can't stop praising it.Healthy food. One really needs to work on one's diet to have good skin. Food which compliments your skin is a must. (References to sources supporting this claim, and your other claims, are advised, per Quora's policy).Patience. I really had to have patience. You may not find any changes in one day or one week…. But if you keep trying…then surely you’ll get the skin that you want one day :)Makeup. I don't recommend makeup much. I do makeup only on special occasions. For everyday basis, I just apply a moisturizer which also acts as sunscreen, kajal (so that I don't look groggy) and a lip balm.Result:This is my present skin condition.PS: Just woke up (has been nearly hour or so) and took this picture for this answer.Edit: For pessimists, I used Redmi 3S. And for the girls or ladies out there, who think why my kajal isn't messed up, I used Colossal brand, which advertises minimum 16-hour retention. I applied it at night and clicked this pic the next morning, so there is less chance of smudging. Even if it does smudge little, I do have two working hands, which I can use to remove the excess kajal around my eyes. :p
Best loose powder for setting foundation?
There is this new Japanese magic powder called ESHIKO from eshiko.com I dont know if you heard about it already but the reviews are amazing so I bought one a few months back. It is made up of 100% nanotech silica hydrated spheres that penetrates and protect the skin while blurring and refracting light giving radiant and kinda unique glow on your skin. I can compare it to MUFE HD powder but its 10x better when it comes to coverage, oil absorption, glow and the illusion of flawless skin it gives. it is as expensive as mufe, the only problem is that you can only buy online and they ship from Japan... so it can take up to 10 days. But its all worth the wait.

How can i make glowing ink?
What your asking isn't trivial at $5. You need to get glow-in-the-dark powder. This will tend to be europium-doped strontium aluminate (which is state of the art) or copper-doped zinc sulfide (cheaper but less effective). The simplest was to get some is to purchase a glow-in-the-dark pen or ink. Otherwise, you can see if a domestic manufacturer of such ink or of block plastic containing such powder will send you a small sample. If you find a small block of substance at a toy store that is glow-in-the-dark you can try burning away the plastic to retrieve the powder. Do this outdoors. Here you can buy some powder: http://elektrolumens.com/Glow_Products/G... You can use a lot of different materials for the base of the ink.Obviously it should be a simple polymer in liquid solution. Clear acrylic nail polish is dissolved in acetone, I think. You could add glow-in-the-dark powder to that.

Looking for Colorless/Transparent Eyeshadow?
Now I know this is weird, but I am looking for colorless, transparent eyeshadow that will give the effect that maybe you are perspiring and just came home from jogging, or just got out of the pool. I would like some glow on my eyelids but the natural kind of glow. A little shimmer okay, but definitely NO GLITTER. I have always liked that "NATURAL" look. Recently, I purchased an eyeshadow, but it was way too silvery and it looked weird on my eyelids. (I am also fair) I also swatched MAC's paint pot, none of them gave that effect, they either had color, or way too matte. Not wearing anything does not really achieve my goal either. Someone had suggested just using concealer or primer (without any eyeshadow), I guess that would work. Thank you.
