Whether your skin tells the tale of the sleepless nights and stressful days you’ve had, or it’s just the weather that’s to be blamed, dull skin is a real problem and extremely annoying to deal with. While you eat right, hydrate and work out regularly to get the natural glow back, you’d be glad to know that makeup can help you cover up that dullness and have you glowing for the gods.

The only thing you have to do it play up that makeup brush (aka magic wand), use the right products and you can have a glowing complexion and gorgeous-looking skin in no time. Let us share a makeup routine with you that helps fight dullness and will make you look radiant as ever.

Here’s what an ice cube does to your skin - It shrinks pores, controls sweat glands (no makeup melting off) and the best of all, gives you an instant glow. For a smooth and glow-from-within look, glide an ice cube on cleansed face before you start with your makeup.

This one’s a no brainer. Dry and dehydrated skin can result in patchy base makeup while well moisturised skin helps your makeup to glide on smoothly, giving you a picture-perfect finish.
