This unconventional makeup technique is experiencing a resurgence of interest on TikTok. And for good reason: it allows you to easily sculpt and enhance your complexion, while ensuring a natural effect.


It’s a technique used by “old school” professional makeup artists for many years and yet it’s resurfacing on TikTok today.

Indeed, videos accumulating millions of views on the social network bring up to date this makeup method called “underpainting”.

As its name suggests (it means “paint undercoat” in English), this trick consists of superimposing several makeup products on your face, before covering them with a layer of foundation.

In other words, as American make-up artist Katie Jane Hughes explains in a video posted on her TikTok account, you have to reverse the traditional order of application of beauty products.

For example, start by applying a bronzer (or contouring stick), then a blush, a concealer and finally a highlighter.

After blending the different materials with a brush or sponge one by one, all you have to do is finish by spreading a light layer of foundation on top.

The end result would give the impression of a dewy glow and radiance that comes “from within”.
