Matte/Dewy Face

A Clean Catwalk face - Matte/Dewy Foundation 

To receive a healthy looking skin you must moisturise and apply face masks as often as possible to remove any oils and dirt that may linger onto the skin. This will help prep the skin for any makeup and achieve a soft canvas.

If you have oily skin your face can achieve a lovely dewy finish. To receive a glow mix a matte foundation with a highlighter or luminous liquid. I used benefit 'girl meets pearl' to create my dewy look. This product is a pearl lumber which features light reflecting pigments which helps give a dewy glow. 

Within this lesson we are told to experiment with the different dampness of brushes or sponges. 

1) Using a damp brush or sponge helps blend the product into the skin. 

2) Using a moisturiser and toner will add an extra glow to the skin 

3) Prime the skin to build an even canvas. For a matte look use a matte primer

4)  Apply foundation over the face if you want a whole look or place the foundation over the forehead  and centre of the face for a more flawless finish

5) Conceal any areas of imperfections of the skin

My dewy look - 

Above i have include images of the final dewy look created in class. To create a dewy look, after i had primed and moisturised the skin i added a liquid foundation to add a glow. I then used a liquid bronzer and my benefit pearl to enhance any natural shadows and highlights. I added the highlights to the nose bone, forehead above the eyebrows, onto the cheeks and top of chin.  I feel that this look came out dewy however my feedback to myself is to make sure i take my time with blending and make sure any brush strokes are not visible.

My Matte look -

This is the outcome for the matte look. For this look instead of using liquid based products i focused on using any matte products and powder products to remove any glow. To create this look i applied matte foundation and used a natural pressed powder to remove any glow, i then used a powdered bronzer to add definition to the cheekbones to bring out the natural shadows. Once i was finished and happy with the look i added a translucent powder to remove any shine.
