How does one get the dewy look??

I use a moisturizer and argan oil, but I use a mineral powder for my foundation. So, I have a matte look, would love a dewy look sometimes, Tia~

Interested in answers to this. I'm only able to get the dewy (not oily) look when I use IT cc cream or Dr. Jart bb cream. But I would like to be able to be dewy (or satin-y) from mineral powder since that's what I prefer to use.

I add a drop of Josie's luminizer to either my foundation, moisturizer or primer.

Spray caulalie beauty elixir over anything. It sets makeup and gives a nice dewy look. I love the stuff

I simply spritz with rosewater - in a very fine mist - after my powder and blush. makes them look like a liquid foundation, moist and dewy. have to be careful not to use too much.

You can buy luminizers and highlighters in stores. I use Bobbi Brown's Luminous Moisturizing Treatment foundation to start with when I want that look. It's about $45. I don't use it daily. I'm an oily-skin gal to begin with. I have a luminizer (Revlon, I think) that I add to specific spots also...or sweep on a little highlighter.

Using my foundation primer over the top of my make-up helps. This tip was in a magazine at my beauty salon and I don't remember which magazine. The article caught my attention because it highly recommended several primers as being better for your skin as well as giving better make-up results and Laura Mercier was one of them. Right now I'm using her basic primer in the light grey tube but she also has a radiance primer. I use my foundation brush to apply and it works nicely.

I prefer most of my face to be matte, but sometimes I take a tiny dot of serum, clear eye gel, etc. (whatever product doesn't dry matte) and dab it over the top of my cheek bones. Gives me just enough dewyness without looking oily.

O/P, if you're using a mineral powder foundation, I would assume you're young. I've read where many older women (including myself) can't use mineral powder because it settles into fine lines that are completely invisible with a moister foundation. I liked mineral powders until I was about 50, looked in the mirror on a hot day and I was shocked--and I have good skin! No more mineral foundation for me.
