So, grab your makeup bags and let's dive into this step-by-step glowing skin tutorial.

Prepping Your Skin

The first proactive step towards a lustrous, dewy look lies in the preparation of your skin. It is essential to follow a proper skincare routine that cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates and protects your skin. A clean and smooth skin surface enables superior adhesion and distribution of makeup products.

On this note, exfoliation removes dead skin cells and paves way for fresh, glowing skin. Follow this technique with serums and moisturizers that provide hydration. Remember, the key to dewy makeup starts with a well-taken-care-of skin.

Last but not least, always protect your skin with SPF before applying makeup. Sun damage adds years to your skin and dredges its natural luminosity, making SPF indispensable.

Choosing the Right Products

Your next step is to gather your makeup products ensuring that they are suited for a dewy makeup look. Stick to lightweight, liquid foundations with a luminous finish. Also, lookout for makeup products labeled 'dewy' or 'luminous'.

Cream-based blushes and bronzers are your best bet when aiming for a natural look. They blend easily and create a soft, natural flushed look on the skin. Avoid powdery products as they can make the skin look dry and flat.

Let's not forget highlighters which are pivotal for achieving a glowy look. Opt for liquid or cream-based highlighters with a pearly, not glittery finish.

Mastering the Application

Correct application of makeup products is as crucial as selecting them. Start with a primer that provides a smooth canvas for the foundation to glide on. Follow this with a thin layer of foundation, concentrate on areas where you need coverage.

Run your cream-based blush or bronzer on the upper side of your cheeks for a vibrant, natural look. Apply a touch of highlighter at the high points of your faces such as cheekbones, brow bones, down the bridge of the nose and cupid's bow.

Blend the products well using a brush, sponge or even your fingers. The objective is to make the makeup look seamless and natural, not harsh or caked on.

Setting Your Makeup

The beauty of dewy makeup lies in its lasting power. It's important to set your makeup so it stays put throughout the day. Instead of matte setting powders, go in with setting sprays that cater to a dewy finish.

Spray generously over your face. Setting spray not only forms a barrier that shields your makeup from smudging, but it also provides an additional glow, thereby enhancing your overall look.

On the other hand, if you have an oily skin type, you can dust a light layer of translucent powder on the T-zone while avoiding the high points of your face where the highlighter was applied.

Maintaining Your Makeup

Maintaining the dewy makeup requires a few follow-up steps after application. Throughout the day, avoid touching your face so as not to transfer oils from your hands or smear your makeup.

In case you have an oily skin type, blot the excess oil with a blotting paper taking care not to wipe off your makeup in the process. This helps maintain the dewy look without letting it seem greasy.

Lastly, drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy diet. Makeup is an accessory to your skin and the healthier your skin looks, the better your makeup will too.

Achieving a dewy look doesn't stop at just being a trend. It's about enhancing your natural beauty and allowing your skin to shine. Remember, the secret to dewy makeup is hydration and choosing the right products. With these tips and a diligent skincare regime, you can effortlessly pull off a dewy makeup look any day. Stay beautiful and keep shining, Queens!
