Achieving a dewy base is not difficult; you just need to follow the steps outlined below. However, the most important thing is to choose the right makeup products for your skin.
Intensive Moisturization
A dewy base refers to makeup that results in very smooth, radiant, and moisturized skin that still retains its natural dewiness. A dewy base can be used before applying setting powder or foundation to improve adhesion.
Dry skin can cause the base layer of makeup to crack, break, or flake, so it’s important to ensure your skin is well-moisturized. A moist and smooth canvas will help your foundation adhere better. Try using facial sprays, masks, or moisturizers to add extra hydration to your skin.
Choose the Right Foundation for Your Skin Type
According to beauty bloggers and makeup artists, here are some special factors to consider when choosing a foundation:
– If you have dry skin, opt for a nourishing foundation with a rich, creamy texture.
– For oily skin, choose a foundation with a lightweight formula that has oil-control properties.
– Normal skin types have more flexibility in choosing a foundation.
Moisten the Sponge
The makeup sponge is an important tool in the makeup process, and moistening it before use will make the application easier and more effective.
Apply Foundation Gently for a Sheer Coverage
Applying foundation too vigorously or using too much product can lead to caking, breaking, or clogging your pores, which may cause breakouts. A well-applied foundation should feel light and natural.
To cover imperfections like acne scars or dull skin, a thin layer of foundation is usually sufficient. Remember, you can always build up coverage in specific areas if needed.
Combine Setting Powder and Makeup Setting Spray
To ensure your base makeup lasts, it’s crucial to use setting powder. This step will help lock your foundation in place. Additionally, using a makeup setting spray will further prolong the wear of your base makeup.
While setting powder helps create a smooth, matte finish, it’s important to only apply it to specific areas like the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and under the eyes, rather than your entire face. Look for a super-oil-control powder with nano-sized particles that will provide a flawless finish, cover imperfections, and even nourish your skin from within.
