Dewy Summer Makeup

When the sun’s out, it’s all about that fresh, radiant, just-got-back-from-the-beach look. Dewy summer makeup is ideal for being put-together without feeling weighed down. Here’s how to achieve the look in a few easy steps.

1. Hydrated Skin = Dewy Skin

Begin with a light, hydrating moisturizer or serum. You want your skin to feel fresh and plump — this is the secret to that natural glow.

2. Lightweight Base

Replace your full-coverage foundation with a tinted moisturizer or BB cream. It smooths out your skin without suffocating it.

3. Cream Blush Wins It

Cream blush blends right into the skin and provides you with that gorgeous, sun-warmed flush. Peach, rose, or coral tones are great for summer.

4. Liquid Highlighter = Summer Glow

Dab a little on the tops of your face — cheekbones, nose, and cupid’s bow. A liquid or cream formula maintains the glow to look skin-like, not sparkly.

5. Glossy Lips

Skip the matte for now — summer lips are glossy, juicy, and fresh. Apply a tinted gloss or a shining balm for that effortless finish.

6. Keep Eyes Simple

Keep it light with a wash of warm-toned eyeshadow or a touch of shimmer. Waterproof mascara is a must for sweltering days.

7. Set with Setting Spray

A dewy setting spray will set it all and leave you with that soft, radiant finish.
