Enter the world of makeup—a realm where small imperfections vanish, and facial features are refined not with a click but with a brush. Celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta has unlocked the secret to that sought-after filter effect using nothing but makeup.

Why Does Our Skin Play Tricks on Us?

Let’s face it, our skin doesn’t always cooperate. Whether it’s an unexpected breakout or a dull complexion, achieving that dream of perfect, poreless skin can seem out of reach. Our skin reflects everything from our diet and the passage of time to the quality of the air we breathe and our hormonal shifts. It’s no wonder that some days, our skin just isn’t on its best behavior.

But there’s good news—makeup is our secret weapon. With the right techniques, those little flaws can disappear. Thanks to makeup pro @slaybyjess on Instagram, Patrick Ta’s groundbreaking method is now ours to master.

Achieving That Makeup Filter Effect with Blush and Brushes

Patrick Ta’s magic lies in a unique approach to makeup. It’s about evening out the complexion, smart use of blushes, and the art of baking before introducing cream textures. Here’s how to nail it:

1. Prep Your Base: Start with a foundation or tinted cream and a concealer to create a smooth canvas.

2. Blush It Up: Apply a layer of powder blush to your cheekbones.

3. Bake to Perfection: Use a triangular sponge to apply a neutral translucent powder to your dark circles for baking. Follow this with a translucent pink powder and then whisk away any excess with a powder brush.

4. Creamy Finish: Add a touch of cream blush to your cheekbones and extend it below the eye.

Voila! With just a few steps and a couple of brush strokes, you’ve got a glowing complexion, radiant skin, and yes, that makeup filter effect everyone’s after.

Achieving the makeup filter effect doesn’t have to be a digital dream. With these pro tips, you’ll have everyone wondering whether you’ve got a secret filter on. But we know the truth—it’s all in the power of makeup. So, go ahead, put your best face forward and embrace the real-life filter effect.
