A Celebrity Makeup Artist Shares Her Dewy Look You Can Wear All Year Round

Summer screams vibrant pops of colour and lends the perfect opportunity to experiment with fresh, pastel tones. From flushed cheeks to fluorescent lids, unleash your best makeup skills yet, tapping on all the *major* beauty trends of 2021! 

With the minimalist 'no-makeup' look dominating the beauty space at the moment, Ashima Kapoor—whose roster of celebrity clients include Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, and Kriti Sanon—shares a 7-step tutorial to achieve an au naturel appeal.

 

Step 1: Opt For a Tinted Moisturiser

 

Instead of applying foundation, use a tinted moisturiser to make the skin look sheer and dewy, and not too cakey or jarring.

Step 2: Pick a Neutral Eyeshadow

 

After prepping your skin and creating a base for products to blend well, opt for a neutral shade of eyeshadow and do a swipe across your lids. Saffron by M.A.C is a great choice that best suits Indian skin tones. Alternatively, you could pick an eyeshadow in a similar shade, from a brand of your choice.

Step 3: Add Dimension to Your Eyes

 

To give your eyes an edgy, dramatic touch, apply a kohl pencil in your waterline. Make sure to go subtle and avoid the kohl from looking too stark.

Step 4: Luscious, Voluminous Lashes

 

To give your lashes a lengthening effect, make use of a voluminising mascara. Double-coat your eyelashes with the mascara to add more dimension.

Step 6: Get Your Glow On 

 

To add a dash of dewy on the apples of your cheeks, throw on a liquid illuminator for some extra shine.
