A dewy makeup look starts with skincare. The right hydrating base helps foundation sit smoothly and glow, without tipping into greasy.
How do you prep skin for a dewy makeup look?
The key is well-hydrated, smooth skin and lightweight layers, so makeup has a soft, radiant base rather than a greasy one. That usually means a hydrating toner or essence, a light moisturizer, and giving each step a moment to absorb before makeup.
What should you layer under makeup?
Reach for lightweight, absorbable hydration. A hydrating first step like the Supple Preparation Unscented Toner preps skin, and a fine mist such as the Fundamental Ampoule Mist adds a fresh, dewy finish. Our glass skin routine is built on the same hydration-first idea.
How do you keep it from looking greasy?
Use thin layers, let everything absorb, and avoid heavy, occlusive products right before makeup. If skin looks too shiny, blot gently and lighten your moisturizer rather than adding powder over wet layers.
