1
Slather a rich, nighttime moisturizer on your face and neck before bed, with an emphasis on the skin under your eyes and around your nose. Apply it in smooth strokes across the face.
-
2
Exfoliate the skin two times per week to make it refined and smooth. Wet your face with warm water. Squeeze out a pea-sized amount of exfoliating face scrub onto your fingers. Gently massage it in circles on your face for 30 seconds. Wet a washcloth, and wipe your face to remove the scrub.

Put a small dab of primer on the tips of your fingers. Sweep the primer across your face with the pads of your fingers. Pay attention to areas such as your chin, nose and forehead. This creates a velvety surface and controls shine.

4
Spread a pea-sized amount of tinted moisturizer across the face. A tinted moisturizer is preferable over foundation as it will keep the skin moist and enhance the natural attributes of your skin.

5
Dip a large blush brush into a powder highlighter. Brush the powder across your cheekbones, nose and chin. Use a highlighter with a pink or bronze tint to add a touch of color along with creating the dewy glow.

Tips & Warnings
Avoid wearing powder unless your skin is oily. If you choose to use powder, apply a light dusting of loose powder across the face using a powder puff or powder brush.
Never pull the skin while applying moisturizer.
