How to Achieve a Dewy Look with Rhode Highlight Milk and Glazing Milk

If you’ve been chasing that lit-from-within glow, you’ve probably heard of Rhode’s Highlight Milk and Glazing Milk. These two skincare-makeup hybrids are the secret behind many dewy makeup looks. But how exactly do you use them together without looking greasy or cakey?

In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step routine to achieve a natural, dewy look using Rhode Highlight Milk and Glazing Milk. You’ll learn the order of application, pro tips for layering, and how to customize the glow to your skin type. Let’s dive in.

Why Rhode Highlight Milk and Glazing Milk Are Perfect for a Dewy Look

Rhode Highlight Milk is a lightweight, skin-tint-like product that adds a subtle, radiant glow while evening out your skin tone. It’s perfect for those who want a no-makeup makeup look. On the other hand, Glazing Milk is a hydrating, luminous primer that preps your skin for makeup or can be worn alone for a fresh-faced glow.

Together, these two products create a flawless base that reflects light beautifully. The Highlight Milk provides sheer coverage and a pearlescent finish, while the Glazing Milk locks in moisture and adds a dewy, glass-skin effect. They’re the ultimate duo for achieving that coveted Korean-inspired glow.

• Highlight Milk gives a radiant, skin-like finish with a hint of tint.
• Glazing Milk hydrates and plumps, creating a smooth canvas.
• Both are lightweight and layer well without feeling heavy.

Step-by-Step: How to Layer Highlight Milk and Glazing Milk

Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply your favorite serum or moisturizer and let it absorb for a minute. Then, shake the Glazing Milk well and dispense a few drops onto your fingertips. Press it gently into your skin, focusing on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose. This creates a dewy base that helps the Highlight Milk blend seamlessly.

Next, apply the Highlight Milk. You can use your fingers or a damp beauty sponge. Dot a small amount on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then blend outward in circular motions. The result is a sheer, luminous veil that evens out your skin tone while letting your natural glow shine through. For extra glow, mix a drop of Glazing Milk into your Highlight Milk before applying.

• Always prep with moisturizer to ensure a smooth application.
• Use pressing motions with your fingertips for the Glazing Milk.
• Blend Highlight Milk with a damp sponge for a streak-free finish.

Customizing Your Glow: Tips for Different Skin Types

If you have oily skin, you might worry that a dewy look will turn into a shiny mess. The key is to use a light hand. Apply Glazing Milk only to the high points of your face, and set the T-zone with a translucent powder. For dry skin, you can layer both products generously and follow up with a hydrating mist to lock in the glow.

For combination skin, focus the Glazing Milk on your cheeks and forehead, and use a mattifying primer on your nose and chin if needed. Remember, you can always build up the glow—start with a small amount and add more where you want extra luminosity.

• Oily skin: Use sparingly and set with powder.
• Dry skin: Layer generously and finish with a mist.
• Combination skin: Target glow to specific areas.

Makeup Looks That Pair Perfectly with the Dewy Base

Once your base is glowing, you can keep the rest of your makeup minimal. A cream blush and a tinted lip balm will enhance the fresh, dewy vibe. Rhode’s The Pocket Blush Trio is perfect for this—it gives your cheeks a natural flush that blends seamlessly with the Highlight Milk. For your lips, The Peptide Lip Tint Set offers hydration and a hint of color, completing the look.

If you prefer a more polished look, you can set the perimeter of your face with a light powder while leaving the center glowing. Then, add a touch of highlighter on the high points for an extra pop. The key is to let your skin look like skin—healthy, radiant, and alive.

• Pair with cream products for a cohesive dewy finish.
• Use a light hand with powder to avoid dulling the glow.
• Highlight the high points of your face for a natural sheen.
