Have you heard about TikTok’s latest viral beauty trend, the “shower makeup” look? Yes, you heard it right! Shower makeup is all about embracing wet-looking skin. We know it may sound like a wet mess, but don’t worry, we’re here to help! Let us show you how to swap your old matte makeup look for a highly dewy, glossy glow that makes it appear as though you’re in the shower —yes, right again… in the shower, not freshly out of the shower! Just follow along as we guide you through the steps to achieve this glistening makeup look. Let’s make a splash!
Shower Makeup Guide
Step 1: Prep and Prime
Start your shower makeup as soon as you step out of the shower. Hopefully you’ve given your face a good cleanse in the shower to remove any dirt or impurities. Now apply a lightweight moisturizer to hydrate and nourish.
L'Oreal Revitalift Fragrance Free Day Cream 50ml
£7.49
Step 2: Light and Dewy Foundation
Now comes the fun part! Choose a lightweight, water-based foundation for that fresh, natural skin tint look. The steam from the shower will help the foundation blend seamlessly into your skin. Apply it using your fingertips or a damp beauty sponge, focusing on areas that need a little extra coverage. Embrace the dewy glow!
Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation 40 Fawn 30ml
£6.98
Step 3: Contour and Highlight
Once your base is complete, grab your favourite contour shade, suck in those cheeks and apply it to the hollows, creating a subtle shadow effect. Now, it’s time to unleash the power of highlighter! Grab a shimmery powder or a creamy stick and dot it on the high points of your face – the cheekbones, brow bone, and the tip of your nose. Blend it like a boss and watch your face transform into a glistening goddess!
Profusion Highlight & Contour Palette
£3.99
Sunkissed Sunsetter HD Bronzer
£3.99
Step 4: Mascara Magic
The trick to shower makeup mascara is to make sure your lashes are clumpy to mimic how water holds the lashes together in a shower. Volume mascara is your best friend in the shower makeup routine, so opt for a lengthening or volumizing formula to make your lashes pop. Slowly apply it from the roots to the tips, giving your lashes a flirty flutter.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara 01 Black
£8.98
Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara Black 101
£4.98
Step 5: Pop of Colour
A pop of colour can make all the difference in achieving your shower makeup look. Blend a soft pink or peach shade onto the apples of your cheeks and add a touch to your eyelids and nose for natural, rosy radiance!
Rimmel Maxi Blush #001 Third Base 9g
£6.98
Profusion Mini Artistry Blush Palette
£3.99
Step 5: Lip Shine
Complete your shower makeup look with a luscious lip gloss. We like to use a hydrating lip oil for the shower makeup look. Whether you go for a bold red or a sweet coral, a lip oil will make your lips feel moisturized and look slick!
To ensure your shower makeup look lasts all day, don’t forget to set it in place. Reach for a dewy setting spray that will lock in your makeup without having ruining your glossy finish with a matte setting powder. A few spritzes of setting spray and your shower makeup look will be bulletproof!
