It seems like every day on TikTok, there are new beauty trends to be discovered. It is hard to imagine the platform as it is without these almost daily whims. Some tips, such as the brown lip technique, go viral for their impressive results. However, some trends, like the fake navel trick, became popular because users were drawn to its strange appearance.
This viral social media technique was revealed by Teen Vogue. This “white makeup” trend involves using an oily white base (the same one you use for Halloween) under your foundation in order to create a clean, flawless complexion.
The “White Makeup” Trend
To achieve the desired effect, begin by applying a base of white oily makeup to your face (don’t be surprised if you look like Casper the Ghost!) Then, proceed with your regular makeup routine, using the darkest shade of foundation you have. Apply concealer, contour, and blush as usual. The objective is to attain a final appearance that resembles a stunning and captivating Instagram filter.
This technique has been popular for a while; however, it went viral because of makeup artist Mireya Rios, who revealed it while experimenting.
Does this bizarre makeup technique Work?
In the viral Tiktok video, the makeup artist starts off skeptical, but the final result is undeniable. The layers might appear heavy or cakey, but they yield quite amazing results when they are combined together. Numerous content creators have tried their hand at the white makeup technique, and almost all have been impressed with the flawless finish.
Despite how awesome this trick might seem to you at first, this is not an entirely unique or new trick. Have you ever tried layering eyeshadow over white base to prolong the life of the colors and enhance the appearance? This white makeup technique follows the same principle!
