Mastering the Art of Dewy Makeup Look
Payal Bhattacharya
Overview
Ever heaved a sigh of disappointment every time you look at the perfectly glowy healthy faces of K-drama actors? We surely don't blame you if you feel envious because let's be honest- looking THAT good with minimal makeup is surely a crime! Their secret is customized makeup with a dewy finish. Closely inspired by the Korean glass skin trend, the dewy makeup look kind of blurs the line between makeup and skincare. And what's more, achieving this look isn't rocket science either! You don't need to be a pro to achieve this look and look like a million bucks! Let’s take a look, shall we?
Before anything else, what exactly is the dewy look?
Imagine a well-hydrated face that glows from within instead of looking like a disco ball due to face oils! Perfect from all angles and looks healthy. Seems like a dream? Well, no more! With some basic makeup products and with a little bit of patience, you will be ready to rock that pool party look next week.
How to achieve the natural dewy makeup look?
Step 1- Prepping Your skin
This includes moisturising and applying primer. Prepping your skin is like preparing a canvas before the actual painting. Hence, creating a smooth canvas is very important. Kindly note that this step will be different for dry skin and oily skinned beauties. If you have dry skin, it's better to mix in a hydrating and illuminating primer like the Swiss Beauty Real Makeup Base Highlighting primer with a creamy moisturizer. The primer has pearl powders that will give an instant sheen to your face!
For the oily skinned beauties, we recommend starting light with a matte primer. Surprised? Well, we don't need extra oils in our makeup because your skin already has too much of it! (pun intended). Choose an oil-free matte primer like the Purplle True Jewel 24K gold primer that is lightweight and helps even out blemishes and scars. The oil control formula ensures that your face remains shine-free and healthy at all times.
Step2- Apply Your Foundation
Get hold of an illuminating lightweight foundation or a BB cushion. Take your pick from the wide range of foundations available at Purplle. We recommend the NY Bae Dewy Drops Liquid Foundation for a smooth and blendable finish. The lightweight formula blends effortlessly and doesn't feel heavy on wear. Not a big fan of foundations? How about choosing a hydrating BB cream? Check out the Sugar Cosmetics Goddess of Flawless BB cream with SPF 30. This super lightweight mousse formula glides effortlessly and gives your face a nice tint. Now, the MOST important tip! Apply your foundation with a damp makeup sponge. This will make all the difference!
Step3- Don't forget your blush
No dewy makeup look is complete without a healthy flush of colour on your cheeks. Apply some peachy pink or coral blush just on the apple of your cheeks for a natural sun-kissed look! Try the Swiss Beauty Ultra Blush palette that has some beautiful light blush shades for everyday use!
Step4- Complete with lip makeup
Show some love to your lips as well. Choose glossy lipsticks with warm neutral shades that help make you look fuller and juicier. Our recommendation- the Faces Canada Weightless Matte Lipstick in the shade Buff Nude. Enriched with almond and jojoba oil, this moisturising lipstick gives a nice tint to your lips with one single stroke. The peachy brownish shade will complement a lot of different skin tones without looking tacky.
Step5- Top it off with Makeup Setting Spray
How about finishing it off with a solid moisturising setting spray to lock in the moisture and keep the makeup intact? Get hold of a shine-free makeup setting spray as the Faces Canada Makeup Fixer enriched with chamomile and hyaluronic acid that helps keep your skin free of shine and lends a natural glow.
