The hottest beauty trend of 2024 is also hot in bridal makeup. Worried about how to achieve the perfect dewy look? Here’s how…
Glowing skins are so in. It’s been the talk of the town for quite some time. While we still adore a good matte bridal makeup as well as the bronze one, we can’t deny that there is a certain appeal to the dewy bridal makeup look. The look is fresh and the glowing shine adds a dreamy appeal to the whole look. It also makes your skin look well-hydrated and healthy, giving you a glossy natural-looking finish. From red carpets to cover shoots, anyone and everyone is after the luminous and glowing-from-within radiant skin.
If you are not living under a rock, you must have come across beauty gurus giving advice on how to nail perfect fresh and dewy makeup. And for bridal makeup too, we are seeing brides choosing a minimal and fresh approach over the classic bright and bold makeup. If you think it needs some absolute skillful mastery to ace a dewy bridal makeup look, let Team Wedding Affair burst that myth for you. With the right products and a good makeup artist, you can achieve a dewy look easily. So hop on the trend train with us! Here are the five steps you need to follow.
Step 1: Lock the Moisture
Before applying any makeup on your skin, always cleanse and moisturise it. Especially when your goal is to achieve naturally-hydrated looking skin, you need to really lock the moisture in. Apply a good amount of moisturiser all over your face and neck, then give it a good massage to blend in. Wait for around five minutes before applying anything else. If you have extremely dry skin, opt for a face oil to quench your skin’s thirst.
Step 2: Pick a Luminous Base
Here comes the main character of a dewy bridal makeup: a luminescent foundation. Don’t skip the SPF a good primer before applying the foundation to avoid sun damage and minimise the pores. Then pick a foundation with a glossy finish suitable for your skin. Remember to choose a glossy foundation and not a glittery one. Use a good quality foundation brush for the perfect finish, and voila. You have the perfect shiny base for your dewy makeup look.

Step 3: Cream-based Blush and Highlighter
Highlighting is probably the most important step in creating a dewy bridal makeup look. For the flawless dewy finish, use a cream-based blush and foundation instead of the powder ones. The cream-based formula blends into your skin better and creates a softly diffused look that elevates your features beautifully. Don’t forget to contour before to make your features sharper. Choose a pink or peach shade to make it look more natural.
Step 4: Make Your Lips Shine
Lip makeup is that crucial last stage that pulls your whole bridal makeup together. A dewy makeup is incomplete without a shiny lip. Whether you opt for a classic red lip shade or a trendy nude lips for your wedding look, use a shiny gloss over to make your lips pop and match the overall luminescent bridal makeup.
Step 5: Don’t Forget to Seal It!
Last but not the least, use a setting powder to seal your bridal makeup look. You don’t want your makeup to look oily during the long event. While some setting powder can mattify your look, there are a lot of options available in the market which let your skin still look shiny and hydrated giving a lasting dewy finish. This kind of setting powder paired with a dewy foundation is the one secret formula for flawless dewy bridal makeup look.
