Afternoon beauty fix: How to make your dewy skin look last from morning to night!
What’s the best way to make dewy skin stay put? It’s my go-to texture but it tends to disappear halfway through the day.
There are a few tricks to having the same healthy-looking skin when you come home at night as you did when you left for work in the morning. Once you’re done towelling off your face after cleansing, use a synthetic brush to massage a water-based foundation into your skin while it’s still a little damp—capturing the excess water will help make your skin appear supple. Chanel Vitalumière Aqua foundation ($55, at department stores) has medium coverage but is an extremely lightweight formula that will give your skin a good-looking glow. Next, set your makeup in place by using a small powder brush to apply translucent powder around your mouth and beneath your eyes—but not over your high points, like your cheekbones, where your skin catches the light. A brush with a smaller head than your typical puffy powder brush will give you more accuracy and prevent pigment from flying all over your face and ruining the dew. The size and shape of Quo Dual Sided foundation brush ($27, at Shoppers Drug Mart) makes it perfect for precision but, even better, it works as both a double-sided synthetic and natural brush.
