2020 was all about glow-for-the-Gods skin and makeup looks! Yes, this year matte makeup looks took a back seat as beauty buffs reached for illuminating products that made their skin look incredibly dewy. The major appeal of this trend is the fact that glowing skin looks so youthful and fresh. And with everyone spending months in quarantine, nobody wanted to hide their improved skin under layers of makeup. Dewy makeup looks give you the freedom to show your skin underneath and keep your skin hydrated, making it the perfect makeup look for NYE spent indoors. It is trendy AND keeps any signs of winter dryness away from your skin. The look is super easy to create, as well. Here are 5 makeup products that will help you achieve it...

01. Lakme Absolute Undercover Gel Primer
The key to a glowy makeup look is good skin prep. It starts with layering your face with your best hydrating skincare staples (moisturisers, serums, face oils and whatnot) and finishes with an illuminating primer. The Lakme Absolute Under Cover Gel Face Primer is a clear gel-based formula, infused with vitamin E for extra nourishment, and glow. The primer not only adds a layer of sheen to your face, but it also fills in any fine lines and pores for makeup that lasts for hours in all of its shining glory.
02. Lakme Absolute Argan Oil Serum Foundation
What better way to make sure that your makeup stays radiant all night than to use a foundation that looks like liquid gold! The Lakme Absolute Argan Oil Serum Foundation combines the moisturising benefits of a serum with the advantages of a medium coverage foundation. The formula is easy to blend (so no uneven patches) and has a certain sheen to its finish. Psst… it has SPF too!
03. Lakme Absolute White Intense Liquid Concealer
There are several ways you can use the Lakme Absolute White Intense Liquid Concealer for your party makeup needs. It works wonders in concealing dark circles, and other imperfections, and can also be used to highlight your face. This liquid concealer is formulated with brightening agents to help you achieve a crease-free and flawless finish.
04. Lakme Absolute Illuminating Shimmer Brick
Shimmer with a touch of rosy finish, the Lakme Absolute Illuminating Shimmer Brick is the blush-highlighter combo you have been looking for all this time. Dab the peachy and rosy layers for highlighting the top of your cheeks and save the bronzy and nude centre to add a silky sheen to the other high points of your face like the bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, a hint on the cheek and top of your eyebrows. You can also swipe some over the brow bone to make your eyeshadow pop, and work some into your hairline for that all-over kinda glow!
05. Lakme Absolute Plump and Shine Lip Gloss
A glowy makeup look is never complete without a high-shine, dramatic gloss on the lip! The Lakme Absolute Plump and Shine Lip Gloss collection comes in six attractive shades to give you that glossy pout. This hydrating gloss is formulated with marine collagen, which keeps your lips feeling nourished and looking full (and plump!) for as much as 6 hours. Just don’t forget to re-apply for the after-party!
