How can I apply ';dewey'; make-up?

I think the dewey look is soo beautiful but I have no idea how to achieve it. So if anyone has any tips that'd be fabulous! thank you!!!!


also if i could achieve the look with a minimal amount of makeup, or at least without having to go out and buy a lot of new products. but one or two reasonably priced (aka cheap, i'm broke) products is okay.


thank you soo much!How can I apply ';dewey'; make-up?
Stay away from heavy makeup and powders; powders do hide oil and shine very well, but most (emphasis on most, some don't do this) also leave your skin looking dull and tired. Liquid foundations, as long as applied lightly and properly, can definitely help. The best way for dewey skin, I've found, is going almost natural. Use a liquid blush, too, as powder blushes usually do the same thing as powder foundations. Basically the most important thing is to use a good blush and bronzer on the high apples of your cheeks to give your skin a natural look, and to steer clear of too much makeup.


Try light pastel pinks for a blush, too, as that will suit spring and make you look flushed without overdone.


Hope I helped!

Face-


If you have nice, even toned skin to begin with then I'd just use tinted moisturizer but if your skin is less than perfect, then mix 3/4 part regular moisturizer and 1/4 part liquid foundation on the back of your hand and apply that with a sponge or fingers.





Lips-


As for the lipstick, apply one coat of whatever color you want and top it with a clear, or nude lip-gloss. Just a little bit. Remember to use everything in minimum quantity.





Cheeks-


For cheeks, use cream blush or if you're short on budget, use whatever lipstick you used on your lips and smear some on the back of your hand and mix it with a drop of moisturizer and apply to the the cheeks using your fingers.





Eyes-


For eyes, use a shadow with a bit of a sheen, use that on your brow-bone and your lids. Apply everything lightly, do not go overboard to keep that look 'dewy'. Use a coat or two of black mascara and you're ready to go.





See, it's possible to achieve the dewy look on a budget. The main thing is to be creative with whatever you have in your makeup drawer. Dewy look is all about keeping everything light and natural using moisturizer in the right amount without looking oily or greasy. Enjoy!!
Try mineral based makeup. It has a bit of a sheen to it hence giving the dewy look you want. Use rose colored hues for lips and cheeks. You can even use a cream blush on your eyelids. I tend to stick to cream based makeup for that type of look. Definitely look into a mineral foundation.
The quickest way to achieve the dewy look is through highlighting. Apply a highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones. It will make your makeup look more soft and your skin more glowy and dewy.
