TikTok's beauty hacks for applying concealer

Tips on how to use make-up in an alternative and multitasking way come from the net and are often off-limits techniques, i.e. not universally approved, but that really work. And it is TikTok that continues to revolutionize the beauty scene with its viral DIY hair and make-up trends, taking beauty tutorials to the next level thanks to the short duration of the videos, which are extremely effective and simplify the procedures. After the tips on how to fix smudged mascara or how to create curls with the sock method (yes, you got it right), here comes the tutorial on how to give your face a lift using only clear concealer. A technique that is all the rage on social media: you use concealer to outline and lift the contours of your face, for an anti-aging result in just 10 minutes.

You'll notice that in the videos you can see concealer being applied to strategic points on the face (such as under the eye and near the mouth) and after blending the concealer upwards using a beauty blender, comparing the left and right sides of the face, the result is surprising as there is one part of the face that actually looks pulled upwards. Lightening the inner corner of the eye brightens it up, while applying concealer only on the outer corner upwards, towards the temple, gives a lifting effect to the cheekbone. The same goes for the lip area, which gains in youthfulness by applying concealer from the bottom upwards. The beauty of this technique? It adapts to all skin types, all ages and all facial types, making it truly inclusive.

But for the most natural effect possible, it's not just a question of how and where to apply the concealer, but also which one to choose: it's vital that the formulas are nourishing and do not require the use of powder, which takes away its softness and light. In addition, you should choose one or two shades lighter, not more, otherwise you risk an overly artificial effect.
