How to Prep Your Makeup Base for Dewy Skin

A flawless makeup base begins with proper skin preparation.

• Cleanse gently but thoroughly with a balm or oil-based cleanser, then follow with a water-based cleanser to remove every trace of dirt and makeup.  
• Apply a lightweight moisturizer that hydrates without feeling greasy. Look for hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides to plump and smooth skin.  
• Use a primer designed for dewy skin, ideally one with light-reflecting particles and hydration boosters for a natural, radiant healthy glow.  
• Layer your products in thin, even coats and let each step absorb fully before moving to the next to avoid buildup.

Products That Create a Healthy Glow

The right products are key to achieving a balanced makeup base and lasting dewy skin.

• Use a damp sponge to apply your foundation for a seamless, skin-like finish.  
• Apply highlighter only where light naturally hits cheekbones, nose bridge, and cupid’s bow for a soft, luminous effect.
• Keep the focus on subtle radiance, not heavy shimmer.

Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Dewy Skin

To make your dewy skin last all day, you need the right techniques:

• Build your makeup base in thin layers, letting each set for 30–60 seconds to prevent a heavy finish. 
• Adjust your products to your environment use slightly more setting powder in humidity and a hydrating mist in drier climates.  
• Carry a facial mist for touch-ups; mist lightly and press with a clean tissue to refresh your healthy glow instead of layering more product.  
• Make sure your foundation perfectly matches your undertone to keep your dewy skin natural-looking.
