How to look fresh and dewy with makeup

Thanks to the K-beauty skincare trend, dewy skin is all the rage. This healthy look showcases plump, radiant skin and accentuates your positive features. Balancing a dewy glow isn't always easy, and if you're not careful, you can end up looking greasy instead of dewy.

To create a radiant look, start by applying a luminizing primer. These products give the skin a youthful glow, and any excess sheen is tamped down by the foundation. Steer clear of heavy powder when creating a dewy look. If you normally use setting powder to reduce excess shine, try pressing a damp beauty sponge against your face before your foundation sets. It will absorb excess product that would otherwise leave your face looking shiny.
