This season’s biggest beauty trend didn’t start on the catwalks or the red carpet – it was a product of the pandemic.
“Dewy skin became popular due to the lockdown,” says Joy Adenuga, make-up artist and founder of By Joy Adenuga. “Being stuck at home, skincare became the prime focus and natural, dewy skin became the most-wanted for a glowing skin appearance.”
Determined to come out of lockdown with ooey gooey dewy moisturizer skin

Now, you may be thinking this kind of flawless complexion is achieved by spending hours exfoliating and hydrating with scrubs, moisturisers and mists.
As a matter of fact, make-up brands have jumped on the dewy skin bandwagon and gifted us with a bevvy of new liquid-based, bronzing and highlighting products that can help you easily achieve the look.

“Instead of a matte primer, switch to an illuminating primer,” says Adenuga, to create a smooth canvas for your base. “Application can be done with a brush for a lighter, more natural effect. I like to use my Multi-Use Cream/Liquid/Powder Face Brush (£14, By Joy Adenuga) for a softer finish that won’t make you look greasy.”

If you’re worried about looking a bit too shiny, Adenuga says: “Apply only where the light hits the face – the top of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupids bow, under the brow arch and the middle of the eyelid.”
