Why this worksA fresh and dewy look enhances your natural radiance by reflecting light and giving your skin a healthy glow. It’s all about using hydrating products and techniques that lock in moisture, allowing for that luminous finish. When your base looks fresh, it sets the perfect stage for a vibrant makeup application.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a hydrating primer to create a smooth canvas, ensuring your skin feels plump and ready for makeup.
  2. Choose a Dewy Foundation Opt for a lightweight, dewy foundation or tinted moisturiser. Apply it with a damp makeup sponge for an airbrushed effect that melds seamlessly into the skin.
  3. Add Highlighter Use a liquid highlighter on the high points of your face, like cheekbones and brow bones. This will catch the light and enhance your natural glow.
  4. Set with a Mist Finish with a hydrating setting spray. This not only helps to lock in your look but also adds an extra boost of moisture for that fresh finish throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip skin prep, which can lead to a patchy finish. Over-powdering can also dull your glow, so stick to light applications. Lastly, choosing the wrong foundation type can make your look heavy instead of fresh.

The pro moveFor an extra dewy boost, mix a drop of liquid highlighter into your foundation before applying.
