During all the seasons, there is one makeup trend that doesn’t seem to wane, that’s always in fashion and is not too hard to pull off. Dewy, radiant skin is always in style and gives you a glow that seems like it’s coming from the inside out.

While makeup is important in this look, the key to it is hydration. Keeping skin moisturised and drinking enough water gives you a healthy glow that really is from inside you. But, with everything in the world, you do need to fake it ’til you make it and makeup is all about faking it.
After your usual routine and moisturising your skin, choose a light and sheer foundation or BB cream, which will give you coverage but also give that dewy glow that you’re after. Try not to add anything too thick that will make skin look matte and avoid powders as they will cover the glow.
Use a cream blush to add a little natural flush to your face and cheeks and brush and lightly fill eyebrows if you desire. Then, add a highlighter above the cream blush, towards your cheek bones and temples and blend. Also add highlighter to your cupids bow and a lip balm or soft pink lipstick to keep the look natural.
The dewy look is meant to be ethereal, heavenly and glowing, not like you just finished a session with your personal trainer. If you over do the glow, you may actually start to look sweaty, so keep a check on your skin and if need, dab a little powder into problem areas.
