How To Achieve The Perfect Dewy Makeup Look
By Melody Rivera BEAUTY NEWS NYC
For the past couple of years, we’ve all been embracing our own skin, and that means we’re not covering up behind layers of makeup. More people are opting for a simple, glowing look that enables our natural textures to shine through, and this new look is called the dewy makeup look. It has taken over our social media feeds, and is the routine that models and celebrities alike are embracing to impart an “effortless glow.” Well, it’s not that simple…
It requires some preparation. You need to find the right products, and we’ve done the work for you here. Remember when I said preparation? This prep requires more than makeup, it starts with skincare to change the game: a moisturizer. The perfect amount of hydration will be the key to achieving this look. If you spend a little more time on skincare, it will allow you to achieve an off-duty model look for the rest of the day. Try an all-in-one kit before you completely commit to an entire skincare system. Everyone’s skin is different so it’s okay to spend some time customizing your routine to best suit your needs.
If you need a push in the right direction, try out the Glow Recipes Fruit Babies Bestsellers Kit. For me, this set is the definition of chef’s kiss.
Now, for this look, it all comes down to five products: eyebrow gel, mascara, blush, highlighter, and lip gloss. Here’s our list of the best products in these categories:
Brow Gel:
Make sure your eyebrows are sculpted nicely; if you want to achieve the brow-laminating look without the cost, try out the RevitaLash Hi-Def Brow Gel. This brand specializes in products that focus on strengthening your lashes and brows, and their brow gel colors will groom and hold eyebrows in place. The product comes in three different colors to blend in with your natural brows. Its ingredients are focused for long-wearing hold while enhancing shape and taming eyebrow hair.
Another product to look out for is the RevitaBrow Advanced Eyebrow Conditioner. This can be an added step into your preparation stage. This product is a physician-developed eyebrow conditioner & serum created to protect against breakage, while improving flexibility and shine, resulting in beautiful looking eyebrows.
Mascara:
I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to pay an extensive amount of money to get lifted, voluminous lashes. The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Lengthening Mascara does just that and so much more. The waterproof mascara delivers volume and limitless length from every angle. The brush bends to extend every lash to the maximum capacity. It’s infused with bamboo extract and fibers for long, lightweight lashes that won’t flake or smudge throughout the day.
Blush:
By adding color into your skin, it helps bring balance and radiance to the look. The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush has been receiving a lot of attention and for good reason! The weightless blush blends and builds for a soft flush look. The long-lasting product is made with a botanical blend of lotus, gardenia, and white water lily to soothe, calm, and nourish the skin. Its silky texture permits an even, easy application and this blush is formulated with color pigments that blend seamlessly while also staying in place throughout the day. It’s available in both matte and dewy finishes.
Highlighter:
Choosing the right highlighter is key to making sure that your look is glowing instead of glittery. This next product is a blast from the past. The Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops are the perfect way to easily add a reflective touch to your new makeup look. The drops are made to give a luminous boost to your skin. They can be mixed in with your foundation for a naturally-radiant glow or alone as a high-impact highlighter and impart a sheer shine that will last for hours.
Lip Gloss:
You have to keep this look balanced throughout all areas of your face, which includes your lips. To achieve the maximum amount of shine with a little extra oomph, the Hard Candy Max Pout Lip Plumping Gloss is the way to go. The gloss instantly volumizes lips with a sheer finish. It is infused with hyaluronic acid and fruit extracts to deliver a burst of hydration with lasting plumping effects. For those with sensitive skin, Hard Candy also provides a gentle formula that has the same plumping power without the tingle.
