Why this worksA dewy look reflects light, giving your skin a fresh and youthful appearance. It involves using hydrating products and strategically placed highlights to enhance your natural glow. The right technique can create a luminous finish that looks effortless yet polished.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a hydrating primer to create a smooth base that enhances luminosity and helps makeup adhere better.
  2. Choose a Dewy Foundation Opt for a lightweight, hydrating foundation or a tinted moisturiser. Apply it with a damp makeup sponge for an even, natural finish that allows your skin to shine through.
  3. Highlight Strategically Use a liquid highlighter on the high points of your face, like your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. This draws attention to your features and adds that coveted glow.
  4. Set with a Dewy Finish Finish with a setting spray that offers a dewy finish. This locks in your look while keeping your skin looking fresh and hydrated throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is over-applying highlighter, which can look unnatural. Also, using matte products can dull the glow you're aiming for. Finally, skipping primer can result in uneven application.

The pro moveMix your foundation with a liquid highlighter for an all-over glow.
