So since its going into summer I thought it was an appropriate time to do a step by step guide on how to get lovely glowy/dewy/healthy/radiant/luminous/moisturised(I think you get the point) looking skin.But not oily , theres a difference . I have written a 5 step guide on how to achieve it but you can add more or less steps depending on how intense of a glow you want .
Dewy Skin
Oily Skin
Normal to Dry Skin
Step 1 : Exfoliate . Exfoliating your skin will get rid of all the dead skin cells and leave your skin feeling softer , smoother and more radiant .
Step 2 : Moisturise. The perfect base for your foundation is mositurized skin.
Step 3 : Illuminate. My favourite illuminator is the mars illuminator in orgasm , it gives a lovely Victoria secret model glow and i mean who doesn't want that ?
Step 4 : Foundation . Use a dewy foundation .
Step 5: Highlighter . Of course this was going to be included , got to love a little (or a lot) of highlighter .Hightlight the places in your face you want to stand out (places I like to highlight are the tip of my nose , inner tear-duct , cupids bow , under my eyebrows and the tops of the cheekbones)
Oily to Combination Skin
Step 1 : Exfoliate. Get rid of any dead skin cells on your face .
Step 2 : Prime .Apply a mattifying primer .
Step 3 : Foundation .Again Matte.
Step 4 : Highlighter .Highlight the places in your face you want to stand out (places I like to highlight are the tip of my nose , inner tear-duct , cupids bow , under my eyebrows and the tops of the cheekbones)
Step 5 : Spray . Apply some Mac fix plus to the sides of your face , not the centre . This will make the highlighter more intense and make your skin not look overly matte or cakey.

This step is the difference between dewy and oily looking skin . Powder your t- zone so it looks matte and you will have a nice healthy glow on your cheeks . Why powder ? Well basically most people get oily around there t-zone and if you highlight that part of your face people might see it as being oily . If your skin is really dry this step isn't necessary .
Want to take that luminous glow to the next level ? You could use a blush with a little shimmer(Nars Orgasm blush) in it or a dewy setting spray (Nyx dewy setting spray) .Cream blushes and bronzers also help to achieve this look .
Hope this helped any one that likes this look I know a lot of people like matte skin so I promise to do a few looks with matte skin in the future . If you have any questions make sure to comment below and I will get back to you .
