Here’s Your Extensive Guide To Take Your Skin From Dry To Dewy
Skin Prep Is The Key
To get the maximum result while working with dry skin, it’s essential to prep with the right products before applying makeup. Start by washing your face with warm water, then use a cleanser that has a mild exfoliant. Next, apply an oil or cream formulation to hydrate the skin. Wait a few minutes for the product to fully permeate into the skin before applying makeup. Allowing the product to seep in will allow your skin to bind beautifully with your makeup.
Choose The Right Makeup With Moisturising Formulation For Dry Skin
Take stock of your makeup supplies to make sure the formulas are moisturising and acceptable for dry skin. The first products to examine are foundation and concealer, both of which you probably apply immediately to your complexion after your skincare routine. It’s crucial to let your skin soak up moisture if you have dry skin. Ingredients like salicylic acid, parabens, and alcohol should be avoided. Instead of adding moisture, these ingredients have a tendency to dry up the skin. After your skincare has totally immersed, use hydrating, creamy foundation and concealer formulas to keep the momentum going on dry skin.
Juicy, Cherub Cheeks Is A Whole Vibe
Bronzer and blush should be the next products you use after concealer and foundation. While bronzer is not a daily necessity, it does provide a delicate warmth and can help with producing a healthy glow. Cream bronzers and blushes work best for dry skin types since they easily cling to the skin without emphasising dry spots like powders often do.
Eye-conic Peepers
Apply your preferred powder eyeshadows, eyeliners, and mascara as usual because dry skin is typically not as problematic on the eyelids. Use a cream-based eyeshadow or tint if you do have dryness in this region or want to go with the hydrating vibe. Choose a cream-to-powder consistency that applies smoothly to the lids and dries to provide all-day wear. It’s essential to gently remove eye makeup without pulling or dragging.
Don’t Make It Greasy
A fantastic way to achieve a radiant makeup aesthetic is to add subtle highlighting products that make dry skin appear dewy. Be mindful that applying highlighters and other makeup with dewier textures takes some skill in order to avoid looking greasy or excessively glossy. With cream or liquid highlighter, softly tap the areas of the face that the light will naturally accentuate (such as the cheekbones, brow bone, and above the cupid’s bow) and blend the product in with your fingertips or a fluffy brush to help spread it evenly without clumping or streaking.
Set Your Makeup
For finishing touches, keep in mind that dry skin makeup typically doesn’t require setting powder all over, but that certain areas could require a little powder to help set or mattify. Use a toner or setting spray that is moisturising to set makeup on dry skin. This makes makeup last longer and looks more natural. Consider it the finishing touch to help your skin absorb any additional moisture.
Go get that dewy glow!
