Last night at the A Night of a Thousand Lights Benefit for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, the women arrived wearing gorgeous Marchesa gowns and subtle springtime makeup — just look at that gorgeous glow on Joy Bryant.
She shows us that this barefaced trend is beautiful for both daytime and evening looks. I really love how her smile shows through her eyes. It seems like all she has on is a great moisturizer and maybe a little lip balm — unfortunately, we know that's not the case. I'm guessing that a brightening pen, some concealer, and a little highlighter had a hand as well.
If you're interested in mimicking Joy's dewy face at home, here are a few tips:
- Choose a base with a low powder content and a high water content. This will ensure that your face looks moist. Also, skip any type of mattifying primer.
- Assess your skin. This look is best for those with tight pores. If your pores are large and/or clogged, try using a pore-tightening primer and a toner. This will ensure that dew-enhancing products don't accentuate them.
- Look for a highlighter that contains light-reflecting particles. You can use this in combination with Vaseline, a brightener, or a creamy highlighter like Nars the Multiple over your cheeks, on the sides of your forehead, and to the tip of your nose.
- Gloss is boss. Coat lips with a gloss or shiny lip balm as a finishing touch.

1Joy is Gorgeous. She always has been. I wish I could pull it off too.
2Where was her hairstylist? Her skin is beautiful?
3I like this look. Very plain, yet pretty.
4Such pretty skin.
5What I do to get my dewy look is apply either a shimming primer (Laura Mercier) and then moisturizer, or a highlighting potion (Benefit Moon Beam) on the apples of my cheeks, side of nose and then moisturizer.
6Gloss is amazing.
7Pretty and simple for day.
8I think it's too simple for such a fancy event.
