I Mixed My Concealer With Blush and I’m Never Going Back

I can not be the one one who wonders what it might be like if the Kardashian glam squad did a complete beat on me. And on this fantasy world, I would decide make-up artist Ariel Tejada to do the honors. I am simply dying to know the way he achieves that delicate pink undereye look that provides Kylie Jenner a contemporary and natural-looking complexion. Whereas I am nonetheless ready for the day Tejada rings my line for a makeover, I’ve come throughout yet one more TikTok make-up pattern — including blush to undereye concealer — that simply may maintain me over till then.

The unique TikTok got here from @paintedbyspencer, who narrates his eight-second video saying, “In the event you’re not mixing your blush as much as your undereye space, you are lacking out — simply sayin’,” whereas patting on a dusty-rose powder blush above his cheekbones to get healthy-looking and vibrant undereyes that give a lifting impact to the face. It wasn’t lengthy after the submit that content material creators ran with this pattern, recreating their very own variations. 

One person, whose video has been duetted extra instances than I can rely (and somebody I comply with for her fierce cat eye and pure base), is @makeupbyalissiac. She applies Uncommon Magnificence Smooth Pinch Liquid Blush within the internal nook under her undereyes, mixing it out with Nyx Skilled Make-up Naked With Me Concealer Serum utilizing a concealer brush. And for the of entirety, she units her undereyes with a vibrant, sizzling pink powder blush. 

Whereas I used to be shook by how flattering and pure the outcomes had been — and with a liquid blush no much less — it was her caption, “mixing liquid blush with my concealer has modified my life,” that had me to achieve for my Kaja Whipped Dream Multi-Eye & Cheek Shade and Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer as quickly because the video ended. 

With my concealer and blush in hand, I made a decision to attend a beat and attain out to New York Metropolis-based make-up artist Tommy Napoli for an knowledgeable opinion on this pattern. “Blush ought to be utilized as excessive up on the apple of the cheeks and as near the undereyes as potential,” Napoli tells me. Why? He says folks sometimes apply blush too low, which may “spotlight the most-downturned options, making the face seem saggy or unhappy.”

In case you are like Napoli and imagine that “make-up may be an emotional train,” making use of the blush excessive up on the apples may give the phantasm of upper cheekbones and a gravity-defying lifted face.
