Want to achieve Khushi's glass-skin perfection? These exclusive beauty hacks will help you master the dewy makeup game!

Gua Sha Plus Sheet Mask To Prep

The 'Nadaaniyan' movie star's dewy makeup begins with a deep hydration process. To get that instant refresh feel, a sheet face mask is her trusted trick. She preps the skin with a hydrating sheet mask infused with aloe vera or hyaluronic acid that makes the skin ready for makeup applications.

A Gua Sha stone massage improves blood circulation and gives her cheekbones and jawline an organic lift. This natural method aids in lymphatic drainage and forms a smooth base for makeup.

Pro Tip: Refrigerate the sheet mask and gua sha stone for a few hours to receive the cooling feel and tighten the skin.

Serum-Infused Foundation For Hydration

Like Khushi, ditch the heavy foundation and instead add a few drops of face serum to the regular foundation. This hack coves your face in, gives a translucent sheen and offers that fresh, luminous finish. Choose a serum-based, lightweight foundation to make your skin appear naturally shiny and not greasy.

Application Tip: Use a damp makeup sponge to blend the foundation seamlessly and maintain a 'naturally glowing finish.

Radiance With Liquid Blush And Highlighter

'The Archies' movie actor prefers multifunctional beauty products to keep her makeup avatar fresh and effortless! So, instead of picking separate highlighter and blush, she simply mixes a few drops of highlighter and liquid blush. This hybrid formula gives a sun-kissed glow which is paramount in a dewy makeup look!

Pro Tip: Rather than using a brush, apply the blush-highlighter blend with your fingertips to get that skin-melting finish.

Vaseline For Glossy Eyelids

The Bollywood beauty loves to flaunt glossy eyelids to ace that youthful appeal. Her magic hack? Just a dab of clear lip gloss or Vaseline on the eyelids. This interesting-sounding trick helps perfect the glass-like touch to the eyes without the need for any heavy makeup requirements.

Pro Tip: Apply a peach or soft brown eyeshadow to flaunt the soft smear and top it off with a gloss to make your eyes have the editorial-inspired look!

SPF To Highlight

While it's easy to rely on obvious beauty products that give the extra glow, Ms Kapoor chooses something as essential as SPF. Specifically, dewy-finish sunblock gives that glowing, skin-boosting touch and double as a highlighter too. What's more? It keeps your face looking fresh without too much shimmer.

Application Hack: Apply sunscreen to the brow bones, cheekbones, and nose bridge to get that illuminated touch.

Hydration Mist To Lock In Glow

The 'Loveyapa' movie actress uses a moisturizing face mist to seal in her dewy shine instead of basic setting sprays to keep her complexion looking fresh all day. In contrast to mattifying sprays, moisture mists (including rose water and glycerine) maintain the skin's plumpness, freshness, and radiance without drying out or stiffening makeup.
