Beauty Secrets for Dewy Makeup

Get Glowy Skin with Professional Makeup Tips that Work

There are a few pro beauty secrets that are ideal to give you glowing skin. Makeup artists like me have a small arsenal of cosmetic products that are always reliable and foolproof for touch ups on photo shoots. To get a fresh look you can count on start with the right dewy makeup. These are some of my favorite makeup tricks that I use on celebrities and models.

Pro Makeup Trick -- Luminous Foundation Base Makeup Tint

A tinted base with skin plumping ingredients is essential for age defying beauty. You may already own a makeup base but a luminous tint is different; it will refresh your look with glowy skin. Choose one with hyaluronic acid ingredients to visually retain moisture according to Web MD. Be sure to get a luminous, tinted, foundation base makeup formula that is lightweight to ease fine lines and smooth out uneven skin color. For a fresh appearance dab on a few drops and blend out with a brush.

Pro Beauty Tips -- Reduce Shine

A beauty must-have is a booklet of blotting tissue that absorbs oil on your T-zone. Regular powder or pressed powder may work for your initial application but little touch-ups, like on a photo shoot, keeps your skin and makeup dewy. To keep you looking fresh and not heavily made-up or slippery looking, blotting gets rid of the oil instead of covering it. Blotting papers come in a tiny notebook of paper sheets and you tear one out and press it onto your skin.

The Best Mineral Powder Bronzer

Using a mineral bronzer for glowy skin seems simple enough, but the color has to fit your skin well. Use a golden tone when you are pale and darken only the edges of your hairline and cheeks. Wear a red brown tone when you are already tanned or spray tanned. A pink tone should be reserved for the apples of your cheeks. A frosty or golden, glittery tone should only be used as highlight on your cheekbones and brow bone. It's easy to tone down cheek mineral powder bronzer with a pale pink to soften your color, which I recommend for the best blending.

Beauty Secret Weapon -- Sexy Lips

A sexy effect for your lips is using a subtle gloss that does double duty. It is a makeup secret weapon for both luscious lips and a fuller cupid's bow. A gloss enhances pink, nude and berry tones while a dab of frosted sheer gloss onto the edges of your lip-line makes your lips look fuller. These simple touch-ups will keep your makeup fresh throughout the day. A dewy look gives your makeup a professional finish while you look naturally gorgeous with a soft glow.
