The Difference Between Dewy and Matte Foundation

Dewy:

A dewy foundation will suit dry and combination skin types. This is because they create a glow on the skin that creates the illusion of natural oil on the skin. Many are formulated to be moisturising and some have great skincare benefits.

Matte:

A matte foundation is formulated with the purpose of reducing shine on the face. This makes it most ideal for oily skin types as it will mattify the look of their skin and try to limit shiny skin.
