10 Makeup Tips For Gorgeous Dewy Skin

Before working on your complexion, you need to make sure your skin is squeaky clean and moisturised. So remove any grime with micellar water or a cleansing cream. If you have oily skin, treat yourself to a purifying clay face mask once a week.

Finish off by applying a moisturiser - the non-negotiable glowing skin golden rule!

Choose a day cream adapted to your needs or skin type and at night opt for a richer formula that will repair your epidermis whilst you sleep.  

Final step before applying your warpaint is to smoothe away skin-dulling lines caused by dehydration. Apply a primer or blur cream to cover minor blemishes, lines and even out your skin tone. Blurs are feather-light and residue-free. They leave our skin baby-soft and uniform - think 'Photoshop' in a tube. The results are jaw-droppingly impressive!  

The 'right' foundation means one that can't be seen. To avoid a caked-on look, go for a texture that suits your skin type: creamy for dry skin, fluid for combination skin and a mousse or mineral-based one for oily skin. You should choose a tone that perfectly matches the colour of your skin. 

Too much powder will only emphasise any enlarged pores or blemishes. Only apply a face powder if your skin's too shiny and go for a translucent formula that will diffuse light without accentuating your T-zone. 

A touch of lippy brightens any complexion. Red, coral pink...Go for the one that best shows off your lips. If you prefer a natural look, apply a nude-colour lipstick for a sumptuous no makeup effect. Apply one that's two tines lighter than your lips to get a kissably uniform finish. Steer clear of lipsticks that are too dark - they'll only pile on the years!
