Dewy skin is the beauty world’s equivalent of a good mood—it’s fresh, radiant, and effortlessly healthy-looking. But if you’ve ever crossed that fine line from dewy to downright greasy, you’re not alone.
The key to that perfect glow? It’s all about layering the right products in the right order—plus a little patience (and a lot of hydration). Whether you’re a skincare minimalist or a full-face kind of person, here’s your go-to guide for achieving dewy skin that looks lit-from-within—not slick from heat.
1. Hydrate from the Start
It all begins with skin prep. Dewy skin starts with moisturized, well-loved skin—not just layered highlighter.
Start by applying a hydrating moisturizer like the Perfect Light Facial Cream. Its lightweight texture locks in moisture without weighing skin down, making it the perfect canvas for makeup.
Glowy skin starts before foundation.
2. Skip the Matte Primer
Instead of reaching for a mattifying primer, go for a more luminous or gripping base. If your skin tends to be on the drier side, you may not need a primer at all—just let your skincare shine (literally).
3. Choose the Right Foundation
This is your make-or-break moment. A dewy foundation like the Glow Compact Cushion delivers hydration, natural radiance, and buildable coverage all in one tap. It's perfect for creating that glassy-skin effect without slipping off by noon.
No cakey texture. No heavy layers. Just glow.
4. Use Creams, Not Powders
Powder can dull the dewy vibe if you overdo it. Try using cream blush, liquid highlight, and even cream bronzer. They melt into your skin and enhance your glow instead of covering it up.
Need to set certain areas? Use a tiny bit of Perfect Stay Finishing Powder only where you need it—like around the nose or under the eyes.
Glow control—not glow cancellation.
5. Tap—Don’t Rub
Application makes a difference! Using a damp Perfect Blender helps melt everything into your skin while keeping things soft and seamless.
Press it in. Let it blend. Then admire the glow.
6. Highlight Strategically
You don’t need to cover your whole face in shimmer to look dewy. Apply liquid or cream highlighter on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose. Avoid oily areas like the center of the forehead or chin if you're prone to shine.
7. Finish with a Mist (Optional but Glorious)
If you want that extra fresh look, finish with a hydrating facial mist. It helps everything melt together and brings a natural sheen back if you've powdered a bit too much.
Dewy skin isn’t about perfection—it’s about radiance, freshness, and feeling confident in your natural texture. With the right base, a little moisture, and a soft glow in the right spots, you’re one spritz away from glow goals.
