This skin mist gives a super luminous look to the skin. To me, it looks more glow-y and less dewy (which in my mind means “wet looking”). The glow looks very natural and makes your skin look healthy and plump. This spray can be used both before and/or after makeup. When sprayed on the skin, it leaves a slight tacky feel which does transfer unless you set it lightly. When I use it before makeup, I usually top it with a tinted moisturizer or a sheer coverage foundation and the glow is still visible through. It also works great under matte foundation to help the skin look not so flat.
