There are several reasons skin tone looks dull. One is poor circulation and poor nutrition. Drink that 8 glasses of water a day and use a multivitamin. After 30 days you'll see radiance from within. To add some extra purification drink hot lemon water in the morning. Take an 8 ounce glass of hot water and squeeze a fresh lemon into it. Add some splenda to sweeten it (no sugar, sugar damages the skin). Drink each morning. You'll notice you have to urinate more often when doing this but thats because of the purification. Just keep up the water drinking during the day.
Another reason for dull skin is lack of exfoliation. Some skin does not exfoliate itself at a fast enough pace allowing dead skin cells to build up causing a dull complexion. There are two types of exfoliation. Manual and chemical. They each do something different. I prefer to use them together for best results. Daily use a gentle scrub with rounded beads. You want rounded beads because things like apricot kernels crushed or walnut shells crushed or pumice have rough edges. These rough edges cause tears in the skin making little pockets for bacteria to live. Go with a scrub that advertises microbeads or jojoba beads. My faves are Renee Rouleau mint buffing beads (the mint really revves up circulation) or Sage skincare regular strength corrective grains. Both can be bought online. For the chemical exfoliation go with a mix of AHA's and BHA's to really get that circulation going. My faves are renee rouleau 10% AHA (try not to go higher because you can over exfoliate the skin and age it) or lovely skin (www.lovelyskin.com) acne gel which is a mix of AHA's and amino acids which add a nice glow to the skin.
Makeup wise switch to a mineral line. Minerals are naturally glowy. The best for glow is the Laura Mercier because it uses pearl powder rather than mica to give it glow. Plus it's a pure mineral makeup with only 4 ingredients in it. My second pick for radiant mineral makeup is the youngblood loose. It adds a nice soft glow.
If you aren't comfortable with minerals then mix a luminizer into your liquid foundation. Garden Botanika makes a nice luminizer.
Make sure to wear sunscreen daily. Sun damage can dull the skin. If you must tan then spray tan. Many contain luminizing agents now days so you get tan and glowy.
Try to go easy on alcohol, sugar, and cigarettes. All of them contribute to sluggish circulation and to dull skin tone. Moderation is the key.

Follow a skin regimen: cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize. I'm using Clinique's 3 step. You can also use some masks weekly, I use a gentle exfoliatior (Nivea) and a moisture mask (Clinique).
I know it's expensive but you may try below product. It contains a multifunctional ingredient TRF that increase oxygen utilization in the skin to promote healthier, younger looking skin.

Well you should wash your face every night and morning with a good face cleanser, exfoliate, and moisturize it frequently.
If you use make-up try mixing a little of the face powder with the moisturizer you use and put it on and then apply the rest of your make up after that, it'll dry and look nice and fresh!
