The 03 Best Tips From a Pro.
Like most
people, I use social media to be a little more glamorous than my day-to-day.
But unlike most people, I have experience using makeup on other people. That's
right—I'm a licensed cosmetologist and licensed nail technician (an
all-in-one).
As you can
imagine, I've learned quite a bit about how to make others look great. When I'm
not at work or college, I'm usually on Instagram looking for new inspiration,
so I decided to share my knowledge of beauty hacks everyone can use with
everyone. Here are my favorite 10 tips for getting an incredible TikTok look:
i) Use your
concealer as eyeshadow primer:
If you're going
to wear eyeshadow, put it on before applying concealer. This will help your
shadow last longer throughout the day and prevent creasing, which is especially
important if you're planning on wearing eye makeup over several days in a row.
Concealer is
meant to help cover up blemishes and imperfections, but it works just as well
as an eyeshadow primer!
ii) Make sure your foundation matches your neck:
It might seem
like an odd tip, but if you want flawless skin without any noticeable
foundation lines showing up in photos then it's important that your foundation
blends seamlessly into your neckline when applied correctly.
If you're
wearing a turtleneck or other clothing that covers your neckline, make sure to
apply foundation all along your jaw and ear area as well.
If you're not
careful about blending everything together, there will be a very obvious line
where your face ends and everything else begins. You can use a brush or sponge
to blend everything together for a seamless finish.
iii) Use hair spray on eyelashes before applying mascara:
This is my favorite beauty hack of all time—it makes a huge difference in how long my mascara lasts throughout the day and how much volume I get out of it too!
Use Tinted Moisturizer.
Apply tinted
moisturizer before your foundation for an even, dewy glow. The tinted
moisturizer will hydrate your skin, reduce wrinkles and enhance your
complexion, making you look fresh and youthful.
It will also
conceal pores and imperfections to make it appear as if you have naturally
flawless skin. Just be sure to choose a color similar to your natural
complexion so that it doesn’t end up looking unnatural or clownish on your
face.
You can also use
a blush of color in place of a bronzer if you want something less dramatic than
using foundation.
Experiment With
Hair Color.
Color is a huge
part of what makes your personality and style unique. When you're just starting
out with your first dye job, it's normal to feel a little nervous, but don't
worry—all you need is a little knowledge and some advice from your hairstylist.
If you already
know which shade of hair color you want, share it with your stylist. If not,
ask them for their expert opinion before walking into any salons.
And if your
heart set on going red or blonde but feel like you've missed all major trends,
ask about semi-permanent colors like balayage or ombre so that you can have
both colors without having to commit to them long term.
Apply Primer To
The Lips.
The next time
you're putting on your makeup, apply a layer of primer to your lips. It won't
weigh them down or clump up. The color will be long-lasting and bright and
you'll be able to press your lips together for extra intensity without worry.
You can even dab
a bit on top of lipstick if you need some added shine but don't want to start
over from scratch. Simply wait for it to dry then apply lipstick as usual. This
works best with sheer colors or ones that have been mixed with gloss.
As far as
primers go, any kind will do - just make sure to pick one in a shade close
enough to your natural lip color so you aren't left looking like Ronald
McDonald.
Lift Eye Bags
& Make Eyelashes Stand Out.
First, you need
to tone down your eyelids. Use a concealer or foundation to make them appear
less prominent, then top it off with a fluffy brush of powder. This keeps your
foundation and concealer in place longer.
Next, use an eyelash curler and gently squeeze
it at the base of your lashes before lifting up to give a more open-eyed
effect. Curling your lashes always helps them seem longer and stand out more on
camera.
Finally, apply
mascara as usual and finish off by applying some eye drops to keep your eyes
from watering during filming. It’s important to keep them hydrated so they
don’t get irritated from all that blinking!
Add Volume To
Lashes & Roots.
If you’re using
a powder foundation and want it to last all day, it’s helpful to keep your
powder in a cool, dry place. Otherwise, it can start to collect moisture in
humid conditions which will ultimately render your makeup runny and
crease-prone.
So if you spend most
of your day inside, keep your powder in a drawer or other interior part of your
purse rather than in its original packaging. If you don’t have one already,
invest in a compact or beauty blender case for on-the-go touchups.
A little goes a long way when it comes to applying powder, so there’s no need to overdo it—especially when you’re trying to make sure your foundation lasts all day.
Keep Your Powder Fresh.
Powder makeup
doesn’t hold up as well over time as liquid foundation, because it’s drier. To keep
it fresh, use an eyeshadow brush to dust off excess powder before each use.
That way you can simply dip into your existing supply rather than adding more product every time you use it. It’ll help extend its shelf life too so you won’t have to make frequent purchases of new items. You’ll also save money in doing so!
Cut Down On Applying Blush.
First, you’ll
need a contour kit. Contouring is all about adding definition to your face
shape, so if you want to see an example of how it looks without contouring and
what it might do for you, check out our other post on How to Make Yourself Look
Thinner on Social Media .
When purchasing
a contour kit, make sure to purchase one made specifically for your skin tone.
In some cases there are two different colors in one palette. The lighter color
should be applied first, then a darker shade can be layered on top.
Don’t Forget The
Base.
A simple way to
ensure you don’t miss a spot when applying your makeup is to apply a base
before any other cosmetics. The base acts as an undercoat for your overall
makeup look and provides an even surface on which to apply foundation, blusher
or concealer. You can use a tinted moisturizer, liquid foundation or tinted
powder in order to get that base effect.
Tinted moisturizers come in multiple shades while both foundations and powders are available in different colors—and you can use them both around your eyes and on certain areas of your face like blemishes if you want. Powder is great for adding a matte finish, making it ideal for oily skin, while oil-free versions prevent shine and feel light on dry skin.
Don’t Forget About Lip Liner.
Lip liner is
often ignored because it’s not part of most people’s daily makeup routine. But
it shouldn’t be: a little lip liner can go a long way in making your lips
appear smoother and fuller while also giving you an additional dose of color,
which helps to round out your overall appearance.
Lip liner is also useful for filling in your lip shape before applying lipstick or gloss, ensuring that you avoid streaks on your face. It can even make a tube of lipstick last longer, as you won’t need to use as much each time you apply it.
This is How You Do Contouring On TikTok.
What many people
don’t realize is that you can use other colors to enhance or complement a
particular color in your face. You could, for example, use pinky-beige colors
to offset your purple eyes. Or maybe yellow and orange to bring out an existing
yellow element in your eye makeup.
To truly master
contouring on TikTok, it’s important to understand how colors interact with
each other; what will contrast well against one color might not work as well
against another. When you get used to experimenting, your contouring skills
will improve leaps and bounds (to be quite honest).
