It’s not your products that are the issue, but rather your application technique. The key to achieving a dewy finish is in the products you use and how you apply them.
In this article, we will explore pro tips and tricks to help you achieve that coveted glow without crossing over into greasy territory. You will learn how to prep your base, choose the right products, and the right way to apply them.
Whether you have oily skin or simply love the natural, healthy-looking complexion, we’ve got you!
Prepping the Base: Unclogging and Hydrating
Before applying any makeup, it’s important to prep your skin properly. Begin by unclogging your pores using a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil Hydrating Gentle Skin Cleanser to eliminate any dirt buildup. This step is essential for maintaining a healthy complexion and preventing excess oil production.
After cleansing, hydrating your skin is the next vital step. Many times, our skin secretes excess oil due to dryness. When your skin lacks hydration, your pores try to compensate by releasing more oil. To combat this, use a setting spray that contains hydrating ingredients. Spritz it on your face and let it dry, allowing your skin to absorb all the nourishing benefits. This step is beneficial for all skin types, not just those with oily skin.
Strategic Application: Setting Powder and Setting Spray
To avoid appearing overly oily, it’s essential to apply setting powder strategically. While baking the face may be suitable for special occasions, it is not recommended for everyday wear, especially in hot climates. Instead, opt for a translucent setting powder or an oil control powder for areas of the skin that tend to get shiny, such as the T-zone. Apply a small amount of powder with a brush to set the concealer, ensuring it stays in place without adding excess oil.
To lock in your dewy look, finish up with a dewy setting spray. This will not only help your makeup last longer but also give your skin a luminous glow. Look for setting sprays that offer hydration and a dewy finish, keeping your complexion fresh and radiant throughout the day.
Pro Tip: The Perfect Combination
For a natural, skin-like finish, try pairing a hydrating primer with a matte foundation. This combination will give you the desired dewy look without compromising on oil control. Remember, matte foundations tend to cling to the skin, so proper hydration is essential. Don’t forget to use a hydrating setting mist to further enhance the glow while keeping oiliness at bay.
Conclusion
Achieving a radiant, dewy look without appearing oily is possible with the right techniques and products. Prepping your skin with a gentle cleanser and hydrating products is vital for maintaining a healthy complexion. Choosing water-based foundations and waterproof concealers will help control oiliness and ensure long-lasting coverage. Strategically applying setting powder and using a dewy setting spray will lock in the glow without adding excess shine. Take in your natural radiance and enjoy a luminous, dewy look that will turn heads wherever you go.
