Dewy skin
Glowing skin layered with strobe creams and dewy foundations have long been dominating the beauty scene throughout the years, and the dewy skin trend isn’t going anywhere soon, as predicted by Sekine.
A flawless foundation look starts with a clean and smooth canva, and if your skin is dry, clogged, your make-up won’t last long. According to Sekine, our skin turnover gets slower as we get older, so it’s important to exfoliate the skin or use a peeling solution (such as the Ordinary’s AHA 30% and BHA 2% Peeling Solution) twice a week to remove dirt and clear dead skin cells in order to achieve a smooth base for makeup application.
RMK’s Creamy Foundation EX is one of the best foundations on the market that promises a buildable sheer-to-full coverage with a natural, luminous finish.
