Others find their holy grail formula and wear that type for the rest of their life. Some people find that they like matte and dewy options and choose to wear the two formulas based on the occasion and season. If you’re unsure which finish you like best, test out both types (shout-out to Sephora and Ulta samples). ![]() It’s all about finding a formula and finish that feels good on your skin type and makes you feel confident with your look. But at the end of the day, it’s your own personal preference that matters most. Traditionally, “dewy is better for a more radiant, fresh-faced makeup look matte is better for a more full-coverage look,” says Henney.

Once your skin is nice and moisturized, Talias recommends applying your choice of matte foundation with a makeup brush and going over it again with a damp beauty sponge to create a seamlessly blended effect. To prevent your matte foundation from looking cakey, it’s important to properly hydrate the your skin with moisturizer and primer before applying any face makeup. To make it easier, keep your eyes peeled in the beauty aisle for product description keywords like “matte,” “mattifying,” “full-coverage,” “longwear,” and “blurring.” With all of these options, it may feel overwhelming to comb through every single label. Matte formulas are also available in more forms than dewy foundations are, including powder, liquid, and cream. A major benefit if your face starts to resemble an oil slick by midday. “Matte foundations keep excess shine at bay with nonreflective and oil-absorbing silica, silicone elastomer, rice powder, and minerals,” says King. “They are also great for clients with oily skin who have complaints about their foundation not lasting as long,” Talias says.

Then you can go in with your dewy foundation, blending it into your skin using a foundation brush. To get a super-glowy makeup look using your dewy foundation, Talias says to apply a liquid highlighter on the high points of the face (aka the tip of the nose, the center of the chin, brow bones, and cheekbones) first. Henney adds that dewy foundations are typically produced in a liquid or serum form, meaning you can skip the powder foundation section entirely when shopping for a dewy foundation. To see if a formula will leave a dewy finish, King says to skim the label for water-attracting humectants (like glycerin and hyaluronic acid) and water-retaining emollients like squalane, oils, and esters. Like your favorite face moisturizer, most dewy foundations contain ingredients that help hydrate skin and lock in moisture. The light-reflecting finish creates a soft shine on the skin for an ultra-glowy, your-skin-but-better appearance, says Talias, adding, “I always recommend dewy foundation for someone who wants a minimal makeup look, with an emphasis on skin.” “A dewy foundation is perfect when you want a very natural makeup look,” says Talias.
