How To Achieve The Perfect Dewy Finish For Makeup
Want that fresh, glowing look that lasts all day? This guide is for anyone looking to elevate their makeup game with a perfect dewy finish.
The ritual, step by step
- Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a hydrating primer to create a smooth base that helps your makeup adhere and glow.
- Choose Dewy Foundations Opt for foundations with a luminous finish or tinted moisturisers. Apply with a damp beauty sponge for an even, skin-like finish.
- Add Cream Products Incorporate cream blush and highlighter for a natural flush and glow. Creams blend seamlessly into the skin, enhancing that dewy look.
- Finish with Setting Spray Use a dewy setting spray to lock in your makeup and add an extra layer of hydration. This helps maintain the glow throughout the day.
Where people go wrong
Many people skip skincare prep, which can lead to a patchy or dry finish. Others might overdo it with highlighters, resulting in an oily look instead of dewy. Also, using matte products can counteract the glow you're aiming for.
