Prepping Your Skin for a Natural and Dewy Makeup Look

To achieve a natural and dewy makeup look, you should regularly cleanse and moisturize your skin. A proper skin care routine is essential for creating a smooth and glowing canvas that will enhance the beauty of your makeup.

Cleansing your skin removes dirt, oil, and impurities that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type and use it morning and night to keep your skin clean and fresh.

After cleansing, it’s crucial to apply a moisturizer to hydrate and nourish your skin. A good moisturizer not only provides essential hydration but also creates a smooth base for your makeup. When applying your moisturizer, use gentle upward strokes to stimulate blood circulation and promote a natural glow. Don’t forget to include your neck and décolletage for a seamless transition from face to body.

When selecting a moisturizer, opt for one that suits your skin type and addresses your specific concerns. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, there are moisturizers available that will cater to your needs. Look for lightweight formulas that won’t feel heavy on the skin and won’t interfere with the longevity of your makeup.

Natural and Dewy Makeup Look: Choosing the Right Foundation

For a flawless base that complements your skincare routine, selecting the perfect foundation is key. Finding your shade can be a daunting task, but with the right tips and tricks, you can easily achieve a natural and dewy look. Start by determining your undertone – whether you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones. This will help you choose a foundation that matches your skin tone seamlessly.

When it comes to long lasting formulas, look for foundations that are labeled as ‘long wear’ or ‘long lasting’. These formulas are designed to stay put throughout the day, giving you a fresh-faced radiance that lasts from morning till night. Additionally, opt for foundations that offer buildable coverage. This allows you to customize the level of coverage you desire, whether it’s a sheer and natural finish or a more full coverage look.

Innovations in the beauty industry have also brought about foundations with skincare benefits. Look for foundations that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or SPF to not only enhance your complexion but also improve the overall health of your skin.

Highlighting and Contouring Techniques

Enhance your features with the proper application of highlighting and contouring techniques. These techniques have become increasingly popular in the beauty world, allowing you to sculpt and define your face while creating a radiant and natural-looking glow. To achieve flawless results, it’s essential to understand the key highlighting techniques and contouring tips.

First, let’s talk about highlighting. This technique involves using a lighter shade of concealer or foundation to bring forward certain features of your face. Apply the highlighter to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose. This will create a luminous effect, giving your face a youthful and fresh appearance.

Contouring, on the other hand, is all about creating shadows to define and sculpt your face. Use a shade that’s two to three shades darker than your natural skin tone. Apply the contouring product to the hollows of your cheeks, along the jawline, and on the sides of your nose. This will create the illusion of sharper cheekbones, a slimmer face, and a more defined nose.

To achieve a seamless look, remember to blend, blend, blend! Use a damp beauty sponge or a fluffy brush to blend the highlighter and contouring products into your skin, ensuring a natural and soft finish.

With these highlighting techniques and contouring tips, you can effortlessly create a fresh-faced radiance that enhances your unique features. Experiment with different products and techniques to find what works best for you, and let your creativity shine through!

Enhancing Your Eyes and Brows

How can you achieve a naturally enhanced look for your eyes and brows?

When it comes to enhancing your eyes, eyeshadow techniques are key. To achieve a fresh-faced radiance, opt for neutral shades that complement your eye color. For blue eyes, warm tones like bronze and peach can make them pop. Green eyes look stunning with earthy shades like olive and taupe. Brown eyes can be enhanced with shades of purple or gold. The key is to blend the eyeshadow seamlessly for a soft and natural look.

When it comes to your brows, eyebrow shaping is crucial. Well-groomed brows can frame your face and give you a polished appearance. Consider getting them professionally shaped and then maintain them at home. To fill in any sparse areas, use a brow pencil or powder that matches your natural hair color. Use light, feathery strokes to mimic the look of real hair. Brush your brows upward and set them in place with a clear brow gel for a natural and defined finish.

Enhancing your eyes and brows is all about subtlety and enhancing your natural features. By mastering eyeshadow techniques and eyebrow shaping, you can achieve a naturally enhanced look that will make your eyes shine and your brows frame your face beautifully.

Finishing Touches for a Dewy Glow

To achieve a natural and dewy glow, take the final step in your makeup routine by adding a touch of luminosity to your skin. After completing your skincare routine and applying your foundation, it’s time to lock in that fresh-faced radiance with a setting spray.

A setting spray is a must-have product for anyone looking to achieve a long-lasting, dewy finish. Not only does a setting spray help your makeup stay in place throughout the day, but it also adds a subtle radiance to your skin. Look for a setting spray that’s formulated with light-reflecting particles or has a dewy finish. These sprays will give your skin a luminous glow without looking greasy or shiny.

To apply the setting spray, hold the bottle about 8-10 inches away from your face and mist it evenly over your makeup. Be sure to close your eyes and mouth while spraying. Allow the spray to dry naturally, and you’re all set!

Incorporating a setting spray into your makeup routine is a game-changer for achieving that natural and dewy glow. It adds the finishing touch to your look, ensuring that your skin looks fresh, radiant, and hydrated all day long. So don’t forget to include this innovative product in your beauty arsenal for a truly luminous complexion.

There are so many different BB creams that it’s hard to know which one will suit you. That’s why we will make your choice easier so that you know what to pay attention to when you go shopping.

But first of all, let’s start from the beginning.

What Is BB Cream

BB creams were actually first developed in Germany by Christine Schrammek, MD. She developed a cream for her patients to use after harsher treatments like peels and microdermabrasion that have left the skin red. Her aim was to conceal imperfections and redness without using heavy foundations that might further irritate and discomfort the skin. She intended to hide imperfections and redness, avoiding heavy foundations that could worsen skin irritation and discomfort.

Years later, the formula was perfected in South Korea, and after that BB creams become a mainstay beauty and skin product.

BB is a foundation alternative that offers light coverage while being gentle on the skin. Actually, Beauty Balm is a mix of moisturizer and foundation and the main benefit of BB Cream is that it offers a sheer source of hydration.

How to Use BB Creams

The best way to use BB cream is to apply it to your face with your fingers. When using your hands, the body heat changes the texture and makes it easier to manipulate. Take a pea to a dime-sized amount for each area of the face, forehead, cheeks, and chin. Blend until the product disappears into the skin.

Don’t forget to blend out into the neck for a seamless finish.

Which BB Cream Works Best for You

The search for the right BB cream can take as long as the search for the perfect foundation. Everything depends on your skin tone and type.

If you have acne-prone, oily, or combination skin, pick a matte formula that’s oil-free. If you have dry skin, look for a nourishing and hydrating BB cream with moisturizing formulas.

Of course, you want to have a BB cream that suits your skin tones. BB creams come in a couple of different shades (it depends on the manufacturer) so that you can choose the one that best matches your skin tone and brings out your natural beauty.

When should I choose a BB creams

You should use BB cream instead of foundation in the summer when you avoid heavy make-up due to the heat. BB creams are all about minimalism, allowing the beauty of your skin to shine through, and a great choice for a natural makeup look.

If you find yourself rushing to get ready in the morning, a BB cream is definitely right for you. That’s because BB creams don’t require too much blending.

Natural Makeup Look – Skincare first then prime!

A natural makeup look is all about glowing, natural skin. The easiest way to get that (unless you already have perfect skin, then just skip this paragraph) is to fake it. 

Before you start any makeup routine, it’s so important that you start with a clean canvas. In other words,  indulge in some skin prep such as hydrating face mask.

When you’re going for a minimal look, a primer is the easiest way to get a smooth base. A pore filling primer will smooth and fill any pores without clogging them the way a thick foundation might. An illuminating primer will add glow and make you look extra hydrated.

Fake it till you make it

Choose a foundation that closely matches your skin tone and type. You can use bb cream or mix your daily cream with foundation – it’s up to you. In case you have issues like blemishes or dark circles use a lightweight, hydrating concealer. Blend with your fingers – the warmth of your skin makes the product melt right in!

Put blush onto the apples of your cheeks to give your face some extra color. Continue to blend this out so that the color is not too concentrated in one area. Warm up your skin tone with a bronzer of your choice (we like Benefit bronzer ). Apply this under your cheekbones and along with your temples and jawline. (See also: How To Contour Like a Pro).

Natural Makeup Look – Eyes & Eyebrows

For natural makeup look, we recommend matte, brown eyeshadows. Apply a warm eyeshadow shade to your crease, then swipe a neutral shade across the lower lid and blend. Curl your lashes and apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes, or really go for the natural look and skip mascara altogether (you brave girl!).

Fill your brows with a brow product of your choice. Powders give a diffused, natural look while pencils are more precise. We recommend the Anastasia Beverly Hills pencil for most eyebrows.

Finish the look with a pink or nude lip gloss that compliments your skin tone.
