If there's one thing that you can learn from rising TikTokers like Monet McMichael, it is that people can't get enough of other people's beauty routines. But this niche of content creation isn't the easiest to master. In the case of Monet, the trick to having millions of followers binge-watching her content has been attributed to her infectious personality.
Monet has also maintained a consistent makeup routine and uses high-quality products to achieve dewy skin. Here's a look at some of Monet's favorite beauty products that help her achieve that hydrated, fresh, and smooth look.
Getting the Foundation Right
When it comes to attaining a dewy skin, Monet starts her makeup application by hydrating the skin. For her base routine, she has stuck to using high-quality toner and cleaner. Her favorite go-to product is the Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Bundle, which includes a hydration face cream, oil-infused serum, and a facial toner.
With the skin hydrated, the next part of the process involves applying the foundation. For a dewy finish, she prefers to mix Fresh Rose Emulsion with the Nar Light Reflecting Foundation. Monet notes that she achieves the best finish with a thicker foundation by mixing a few drops of the emulsion and a pump of foundation.
The Makeup Application
In most of Monet's TikTok videos, she prefers to use the REFY Duo Face Brush while applying her makeup. What she loves about this small, stippling brush is that it features soft and dense fibers that select the right amount of product. The brush is also slightly curved, which allows for a more controlled application of the product. As for the concealer, her favorite is the Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer.
She prefers to use this product is that it counters dark spots and is non-comedogenic, meaning that it doesn't block the skin pores and cause a breakout. While using the concealer, she advises users to apply dots under the eyes and then blend it with a damp sponge and brush.
Wearing a Bold Statement Lip and Eye
Since Monet is all about dewy skin, it doesn't come as a surprise that lip gloss is among her favorite "desert island" makeup products. Currently, her go-to product is the Cover Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss. This lip gloss is infused with hyaluronic acid, a naturally derived antioxidant that gives the skin a supple and healthy look. It also gives the lip a natural shine and sheen color without feeling sticky. The lip gloss is also formulated with a berry scent that offers a hydrating flavor.
To give that eyebrow that stunning look, she uses a micro-precision pencil that mimics the effects of real-life hair. This eyebrow pencil features carnauba wax, giving the brow elasticity for a creamy and smooth application. The pencil also creates a natural-looking color with depth and no ashy undertones.
The Right Steps to Makeup Application
If you've been applying makeup and hardly achieve a dewy look, then Monet’s TikTok videos may be right for you. Besides the killer soundtrack on the back of her videos, she gives informative and detailed videos on her makeup application routine. Most of her makeup routine also remains consistent between videos, which makes it easier for people to achieve a dewy skin.
