Why this worksA dewy look reflects light and gives the illusion of hydrated skin. By layering hydrating products and using specific application techniques, you can create a luminous finish. This approach not only enhances your natural beauty but also ensures your makeup feels light and fresh.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep with Hydrating Primer Start with a hydrating primer to create a smooth base. This helps to lock in moisture and gives your skin a luminous quality.
  2. Use a Lightweight Foundation Opt for a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser that allows your skin to breathe. Apply it with a damp sponge for a natural, glowy effect.
  3. Set with a Dewy Setting Spray After applying makeup, spritz a dewy setting spray to enhance the glow. This will also help your makeup last longer without looking dry.
  4. Add a Touch of Blush Choose a cream blush in a soft shade and apply it on the apples of your cheeks. This adds a natural flush and contributes to that dewy finish.

Where people go wrong

Many skip primer, thinking foundation is enough. Others apply too much product, which can dull the dewy look. Not using a damp sponge can also lead to a heavier application, hiding that fresh glow.

The pro moveFor an extra boost, mix a drop of facial oil into your foundation for added hydration and radiance.
