How to Achieve a Fresh and Dewy Look for Summer Events
Want to shine all summer long? This guide will help you achieve a fresh and dewy look perfect for any summer event.
The ritual, step by step
- Prep with Hydrating Primer Start with a hydrating primer to create a smooth base. This will help your makeup adhere better while keeping your skin moisturised and glowing.
- Use Lightweight Foundation Opt for a lightweight, hydrating foundation or BB cream. Apply it with a damp makeup sponge for an even, natural finish that allows your skin to breathe.
- Apply Cream Highlighter Instead of powder, use a cream highlighter on the high points of your face. This will enhance your features and provide that coveted dewy glow.
- Finish with Setting Spray A hydrating setting spray can lock in your makeup while adding an extra layer of dewiness. Mist it lightly over your face to achieve a fresh look.
Where people go wrong
Many people use heavy foundations that can look cakey in the heat. Skipping primer can cause makeup to slide off. Over-applying highlighter can lead to a greasy look, and not using a setting spray may leave your makeup vulnerable to melting.
