i like the shiny look that foundation gives, does it have to be matt looking to look professional? i always hear 'powder to take away the shine'... why would anyone want to take away the shine?Foundation that gives a shine a NO,NO?
I think it depends on the finishing you want. Ive worked along make up artists at fashion shows and they always say that the best foundation is the one that gives you a healthy glow. If you see all runway pictures the models have just a little shine and it looks like the skin is hydrated and healthy rather than dry or oily. Now theres products that have shiny pigments so tiny that you cant see them and just give you a little shimmer. Id say go for the healthy glow look and look for a product that gives you the right amount of shine and always put it with your face clean.

Foundation that makes your face shine just looks funny. If you're a person with oily skin already, and you use a foundation which on top adds shine, you're going to look like you have a greasy face and make you appear like you're sweating all the time. Plus, it also makes it really obvious that you're wearing foundation which in reality, most of us don't want.
Powder also sets your foundation. It helps it stay for longer periods, therefore you need less touchups throughout the day.
The word you're looking for is glow. A subtle foundation that can give a sheer glow yet manages to stay matte looks more professional and not to mention more natural.
it doesn't have to be matte, there are foundation that purposely give your skin a little ';shine'; or glow. such as i know stila has a foundation thats suppose to make your skin luminous, or there are also foundation thats meant to make your skin dewy.
but are you talking about a shine? or a glow?
you can create the glow look with highlights, dust some highlighting powder on your temple, cheek, underneath the eye, a little on your forehead, and chin.
The shine that foundation gives off makes your face appear oily or greasy, especially in the most prone spots. (Forehead and nose) You don't want a shine with your foundation. Instead, you may want to use blush to brighten up your face, to give it a natural glow.
Thats funny you say that! I use foundation to hide my shine because it makes me look sweaty all the time!
