How to Achieve the 'Dewy Face' Makeup Trend

The typical summer trend of dewy skin has come early this year. Get it right and you will appear glowing and healthy, get it wrong, however, and you will look greasy. It's a fine line which can be easily crossed. Don't take any chances and follow these tips to get this trend spot-on...

1. Prime 
This doesn't mean slapping on a primer just before you apply your makeup, it's about sticking to a quality skincare regime so that your skin is naturally primed.  Moisturisation is a must...there's no way the dewy trend is going to work with dry, flaky skin. Find a moisturiser that is best suited to your skin type...I recommend Sakare Hydrating Mineral Complex Moisturiser as it is suited to a wide range of skin types and has additional anti-ageing benefits. Once you have cleansed, toned, and moisturised your prepped canvas is ready for the next stage...



2. Foundation
Avoid thick, matte foundations, and opt for lightweight, moisture rich ones instead. I love Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. It's an ultra-light, radiance-enhancing foundation that also offers decent coverage. Apply with a foundation brush, working up to your desired look.





















3. Blush 
In keeping with the natural look, choose blush in a peachy-creamy shade that won't make too much of a statement. You want to look naturally flushed, and so liquid or cream based blushes are a good option. Apply with fingers or a beauty sponge. Maybelline Face Studio Master Glaze (in Coral) will help you get the look.



4. Highlight
The most important thing to remember here is to use sparingly and only on the tops of your cheekbones. Avoid products with glitter or that are too oily. Urban Decay Naked Illuminated is a safe bet.
