Matte skin looks clean and fresh-- in the Winter! But dewy skin, on the other hand, looks bright and healthy in the warmer months that coming up. That is why I am telling you how to get that dewy, smooth, and bright skin! It isn't hard and it looks so nice after! You'll look radiant and happy! (didn't sound too cheesy right?) I would have made a video if my computer wasn't acting like crap! Anyways, this is like my daily foundation routine because it's spring and time to ditch the matteness!

| I look so weird without any eye makeup and such (T_T) why??? |
❤Things You'll Need❤
- Water, facial cleanser, and preferably a scrub along with it (exfoliating creates a smooth surface making skin look more radiant!)
- A light moisturiser, oil, or serum (whatever is moisturising enough for your skin type and isn't thick)
- Bronzer or highlighter (cream, powder, stick; whatever works for you)
- A concealer (go for a thick and lighter colour as it brightens and creates a canvas over blemishes and imperfections)
- A tinted moisturiser or sheer liquid foundation (tinted moisturiser is better for this by my experience-- more DEWY since the moisturiser is lighter and has more of a sheer coverage!)
- Translucent powder (loose or compact; it doesn't really matter; try to avoid a powder that has a lot of sparkles and matte or thick powder)
- A light pink,peach, or pastel red blush(this must be light no rouge or plum! Natural is what we are going for so no bright or dark colours!)
- A facial spray or homemade rose water that you can learn to make here
- Your tools: foundation brush, blush brush, contouring brush (optional), a powder brush, a sponge, and clean fingertips
❤Directions❤
1. Wash! Your face, that is, with your facial cleanser and then use a scrub if you have one. Rinse with cold water to refresh and brighten your skin.
2. Moisturise! Make sure to especially get the places that get dry very easily as this makes makeup look cakey and sometimes thick since it sucks up every drop of makeup. Wait for it to dry so it doesn't combine too much with makeup!
3. Conceal! Use your choice of concealer that is lighter and thicker than your foundation or tinted moisturiser and put it on the spots that tend to be reddish or discoloured. We're trying to go for a fresh, clear complexion so proper concealing is key! Don't go overboard though. Too much light coloured concealer could really wash you out! Blend with a sponge, not a brush for concealer; it could get streaky!
4. Makeup time! Take your tinted moisturiser or foundation of your choice and squeeze onto your finger tip. Spread all over your face like you would with a lotion. It might feel weird, but just wait! Then after it's all applied take a foundation brush, not a sponge, make the brush fan out and buff all over your face. Make sure to get the places where foundation lines often form like: jaw line, hair line, T-zone, nose creases, and under the eyes. After blending take a sponge and pad over the places that get oily easily, don't press too hard because it could lift off your makeup!
5. Take your bronzer or highlighter and put along your cheekbones while sucking in your cheeks; this helps to get the makeup along the cheekbones better. Blend really good with your fingertips if you're using a cream or stick, put blend with your contouring brush or blush brush if using a powder. We're not putting highlighter or bronzer anywhere else on the face because it tends to look less natural and natural is what we are going for.
6. Blusher! Take a blush brush and swirl into your blush. Smile and blend blush onto the apples of your cheeks. Let go of your smile, but don't frown and blend along cheekbones all the way to the hair line. Make sure you don't add too much blush, you'll look too colourful and make sure to blend because you'll look like a big blotch!
7. Powderize! Take your translucent powder and powder brush and swirl it into the powder and tap on the side of the container or compact. Take the powder and apply a thin layer to your entire face, DO NOT go back and swirl more powder onto your brush, don't be a powderholic! Now go back and swirl your brush into your powder again, but don't apply it to your whole face. Apply it to your T-zone, nose, and chin, and any other places that get oily. If you have dry skin, the first layer should be enough powder. Apply another thin layer of powder when your face begins to feel oily during the day.
8. Mist! Take the facial spray or rose water and lightly, and I mean lightly, mist onto your face. This gives your skin a healthy, dewy glow that really does look radiant.
