The best highlighters for a dewy finish are lightweight, shimmer-free or finely milled, and designed to melt into the skin rather than sit on top. If you’re after that natural, lit-from-within glow, these are the products to reach for.
A dewy complexion isn’t just about shine; it’s about freshness and radiance. Highlighters that offer this look don’t rely on chunky glitter or heavy sparkle. Instead, they use subtle pigments to reflect light in a way that flatters the skin and mimics healthy luminosity.
What Makes a Highlighter Look Dewy?
The texture and formula are key. Cream and liquid highlighters tend to blend more seamlessly, giving skin that barely-there glow. Look for words like “radiant,” “hydrating,” and “glass skin effect” on the label. Powder formulas can work too ensuring they’re ultra-fine and not overly metallic.
How to Apply for a Natural Glow
Less is more. Focus on the high points of your face: cheekbones, brow bones, the bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow. Tap it on with fingers or a damp sponge for a soft finish. And always layer over hydrated skin for best results.
Adding a highlighter like this into your routine is a small change that makes a big visual impact, especially when paired with other glow-enhancing staples from the Beauty & Self-Care collection.
