I am experimenting with some ideas for a wedding I will be in in just a few weeks. My idea for make up is to go for a ';dewey'; effect on my skin. I want it to glow. I was going to do a shimmery shadow and dark eyeliner and a reddish/clear lip gloss. The dress I am wearing is red %26amp; I am not in love with the color on me.
I am very light skinned, goldish blonde hair %26amp; blue eyes.
Any tips on how to achieve a dewey look? Any product recommendations are appreciated.How to get a ';glowing'; or ';dewey'; look on your skin/makeup?
Try using a tinted moisturizer if you have good skin, or a light liquid foundation if you need a bit more coverage.
-Liquid foundations blend easier into the skin and reflect light, so it will give you more of a dewy finish.
Also try using a Cream Color Base from MAC. It's a creamy highlighter with a glow. I like to rub a little bit on tops of cheekbones and under the brows. It's perfect for glowy skin. Try it in Shell or Hush.
I wouldn't really go with a sheer red gloss, especially if you're wearing a red dress. I would stay with a nude lip. It will look pretty with the dewey skin as well. Hope I helped!How to get a ';glowing'; or ';dewey'; look on your skin/makeup?
Easy:-
1)Primer (you cant go wrong with Mac prep %26amp; prime SPF15) and it is vital
2)Foundation
3)Liquid blusher (difficult to find but once you get it, you will see the difference by using fingers and tap NOT brush technique).
It will give you natural fresh glow-y look. Try now :)
use mac fix + over your foundation
it makes your face look super dewy
i'm not sure what you mean by ';dewey'; .. but if you use a highlighter, it really gives your face a glowing effect. i'm not sure how to explain how to use it, but just watch this video :)

Cream foundation are best for Dewy skin!
Mac studio Tec and or Covergirl Aqua smooth (compact)
I want to try the covergirl first then I'll try mac, A powder would give you matte look, and liquid foundation will give you natural coverage with a luminous glow, I hoped I helped you and get a cream foundation cause I am lol. for spring time I am.
I read on msn.com that putting a neutral shade of lip gloss on your face will ';add a sexy dewiness'; It seems, kind of strange, but msn is a pretty reputable source. Sorry, I can't find the link...
the foundation i use, looks quite dewy. its rimmel lasting finish 16 hour foundation, you can get it in boots or superdrug, probaably supermarkets too
well you definitely want to use a liquid foundation, for some glow mix in some bronzer
there is also this product called fix + by MAC that is a spray that sets your look and it kind of leaves a nice finish
have a great wedding!
This may sound weird, but powder makeup that has no talc is really good. Physician's Formula is what I would suggest getting. I remember once someone told me that you should use powder makeup and I didn't believe them because I thought, ';Well, isn't powder used to decrease a glow and just leave your face matte?';, but then I tried physician's formula and I freaking love it.

Physician’s Formula Recommendations:
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Voted “Best Face Powder” in Star Magazine)
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Blush: ~$12.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Won ';Testers’ Favorite Product Award'; in Fitness Magazine and Awarded “Natural Beauty Award” in Natural Health Magazine)
Physician's Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in 3 the pack
The 3 pack is not on the website, but I know for a fact it is sold at Target. It's probably sold at Walmart, and wherever they carry physician's formula products. The colors I saw that it came in were fair, light, and medium.
I have oily skin, so here’s a tip if you do, too. Just carry around the Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil in a purse or backpack (for school or work or shopping or whatever) and apply it when you feel oily. It's 100% translucent, so it just eats the oil without looking chalky or heavy.
To me, the mineral powder and blush looked hard, like I'd have to scrape it with my powder brush, but really it comes of quite easily. Take the brush it comes with and just dab it on, it'll come off without any rubbing at all.
You're getting married! Congratulaations! Ha ha. Whatever. Uhm.. I think you should like wear a light pink shimmery lipgloss. You don't want yoor face to stand out too much with your dress. Mac foundation is a very good foundation to cover up and get a glowy look. Maybe some light pink eyeshadow with some somewhat thick liquid black eyeliner. I would get your makeup from Mac cosmetics. It is the bestt. =D Hope this helped.
dewy? lol
Try this:
obviously exfoliate, moisturize and prime (smashbox photo finish primer)
make up:
FACE:
Stila makes a WONDERFUL illuminating tinted moisturizer that you get get at sephora-- it provides great coverage and makes skin look absolutely beautiful. After applying the tinted moisturizer, use concealer where necessary. Apply bronzer by sweeping it just under the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, forehead and jaw line... make sure to continue your make up down past your neck a bit so that the colors blend and it doesn't look like a mask. After you are illuminated, concealed and bronzed, sweep Smashbox Halo perfecting powder all over your face. This is not a matte powder, it is actually moisturizing (check it out on sephora) and really makes skin look luminous.
Eyes: The most important step for eye make up is primer.. so that the colors stay true and don't fade! Use urban decay primer potion with any look you love!
1. Keep heavy cosmetics to a minimum. Try lighter make-up, if necessary, like BareMinerals.
2. Apply a sunscreen to your skin and a chapstick/lip balm with SPF.
3. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser in the morning when you wake up, like Cetaphil or Clean %26amp; Clear. Think about it - you have been tossing and turning all night on a pillow covered with bacteria and hair product residue.
4. Wash your face before you go to bed at night. Your face has been exposed to polluted air, oils from your hands, and other environmental factors all day. Remember to never go to bed with make-up on.
5. Wash your face with warm/hot water to open your pores. Then use your cleanser and rinse off with warm/hot water. Finish by rinsing with cold water or rubbing ice on your face to close your pores and help keep them clean.
6. Steam your pores open to cleanse about once a week. How?
* Boil a pot of water. You can add a drop of something like rosemary oil, if you like.
* Drape a towel over your hair.
* Hold your face about 6'; away from the water's surface for about 3-5 minutes.
* Cleanse and follow up with the cold water or ice.
7. Exercise. Cardio is what will give your skin that glow, because it stimulates blood flow.
8. Use a nutritive skin care product at night and get plenty of sleep.
9. Use a weekly moisturizing or anti aging mask on face and neck, preferably after exfoliating the skin.
10. Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. This will help clear your skin and give it a glow, because it will help rid toxins from your body.
11. It is crucial to have a healthy diet:
* You are what you eat, and incorporating healthy food like vegetables, fruits, grains, and protein will help. Omega 3 Fatty Acids found in fish and walnuts is especially beneficial to your skin. Vitamin C will help existing pimples heal faster, so eating a few servings of things like citrus fruits will help. If you're worried you aren't getting enough of necessary vitamins and minerals, try taking a multivitamin.
* Steer clear of foods and drinks high in sugar and caffeine. Which means you should cut down on, or completely remove soda, coffee, and sugary juices from our diet.
* Try to consume less than 45g of sugar on a daily basis.
* Cut down on salty foods. Eating too much salt can make your face look bloated.
12. Exfoliate about once a week also. You can do this by buying an exfoliater or by using a washcloth to rub your cleanser in - just make sure it's clean! Exfoliating will remove dead, dull skin.
13. Always follow up a cleanse with a moisturizer made for your skin type. Especially after exfoliating!
14. Do NOT pick at existing pimples. When you pick at or pop a pimple, you are spreading the bacteria from that onto the rest of your face.
15. Try to keep your hands off your face as much as possible. Your hands naturally have oils on them that can clog pores.
16. Try to keep stress to a minimum. I know for a fact that the majority of us have to deal with stress frequently, but stress can cause break-outs. Try meditating or just taking a few minutes in the day to sit back, clear your mind, and do something you enjoy.
17. Exercise regularly, and drink lots of water.
18. Use a moisturizing or anti aging facial mask once a week, preferably after exfoliating the skin.
19. Use a nutritive skin care product to feed the skin during the night.
20. Get plenty of sleep.
[edit] Tips
* Make sure you have a cleanser and moisturizer made for your skin type.
* If you have severe acne, you may want to consult a dermatologist.
* Have patience you should see improvements in about two weeks.
