A fresh, dewy complexion makes all the difference in achieving that effortless, natural look.

Here's a step-by-step guide to building a glowy base that feels light, looks flawless, and sets the tone for the rest of your makeup.

✨ Step 1: Hydrate Your Skin

Begin with a good moisturizer to create a smooth canvas. A current favorite is the Glazing Milk by Rhode ($29.00). It leaves skin looking dewy and feeling deeply hydrated — perfect for that lit-from-within vibe. If you haven't tried it yet, it might just be your next go-to for both skincare and makeup prep.

✨ Step 2: Apply a Hydrating Primer

Next, layer on a primer that enhances moisture and glow. The Refy Face Primer ($34.00) works beautifully to lock in hydration and add a subtle luminosity. It preps your skin so your makeup sits better and lasts longer, all while giving it a healthy finish.

✨ Step 3: Go for a Lightweight Base

For your foundation, choose something radiant and breathable. The Eaze Blur Skin Tint from Fenty Beauty ($34.00) is a great option for that "your skin but better" effect. For an extra glow, mix in a bit of Glowy Super Gel by Saie ($28.00). Blend the combo with a damp sponge or foundation brush for a seamless, natural finish.

Glowy makeup is all about hydration, light layers, and radiance. Stick to products that enhance your natural features and leave your skin looking fresh. Don't forget — less is more! Find the technique that suits you best and enjoy the glow every day!
