Reference: teint dewy / glowy

Reference information:
Je me demande si ce "dewy" n'est pas à rapprocher du fameux "glowy" que l'on trouve partout sur la blogo beauté. Cf. la définition donnée dans les liens.

Example sentence(s):

"Dewy" ou littéralement "touchée par la rosée", voici le make up code du printemps qui associe à un teint mat, quelques touches de brillance habilement positionnées pour révéler l'éclat de la peau
Qu'est ce que "Glowy" ?! Il s'agit d'un teint lumineux, il y a énormément de produits sur le marché qui permettent d'obtenir ce fameux glow sur certaines zones du visage (ossatures de joues, arrête du nez, arc de cupidon ..) C'est une façon d'éclair
