What Is Dolphin Skin And How Do You Achieve It?

Posted by Tandra Barner on Monday, May 6, 2024

Put your makeup powders at the bottom of your makeup bag if you want to achieve dolphin skin, because the best way to look slippery-smooth is to rely on an arsenal of liquid products (per Evoke). But first, you'll want to get your bare skin dewy by exfoliating and using a dry oil, according to makeup artist Danessa Myricks. "Prepping and preparing your natural skin is the key to maximizing this dewy, hyper-radiant look," Myricks told Glamour. You'll then want to choose a luminous primer, followed by your liquid foundation.

After you've got the base covered, it's time to dolphin-ize your face with a dewy balm highlighter or highlighter drops applied strategically. "Glow looks beautiful on all of the natural high points of the face," Myricks explained. "The bridge of the nose, the small area between the brows, the brow bone, the temples, the tops of the cheekbone and chin are perfect points to target." While many brands sell this kind of balm, if you don't have any, Aquaphor or clear lip gloss will work. Buff the product into your skin to keep the look natural, then blend your liquid blush.
