The placement of blush on the cheeks makes all the difference. The lifted blush technique makes the face appear less round and more sculpted, and calls for blending your contour upwards instead of downwards while placing the blush at the highest part of the cheekbones. This creates depth on your face and gives the illusion of a lifted face. In this TikTok tutorial, MUA Danielle Marcan compares the effect of this technique to a subtle facelift.
Tightlining eyeliner is a method that provides the eyes with the illusion of fuller and darker lashes. For this technique it’s best to use a pencil or gel liner. We recommend using Pat McGrath’s PermaGel Ultra Glide Pencil or MAC’s Pro Longwear Fluidline. For people with sensitive eyes, Beauty blogger and MUA Victoria Lyn suggests using a q-tip to dry your waterline before beginning this technique.
It’s all in the name; the Lifted Brow Technique creates a lifted and elongated brow look. To achieve this look you will need a spoolie, a brow pencil or Full Up Brow Powder, and a brow gel. Use this technique to imitate a brow lift for a sleek yet glam makeup look. Watch and learn how to transform your brows from Stephanie Valentine, a Toronto based MUA.
Underpainting is a technique that involves the application of blush and or bronzer before foundation for a more natural look. This practice was brought to popularity by Celebrity MUA Katie Jane Hughes when she posted this tutorial on TikTok. Underpainting gives the face a natural inner glow because it makes it seem as if the flush of colour is coming from within the skin.

For those who don’t wish to permanently bleach their natural brows, there's a way to enjoy this edgy look without the commitment. All you need is a light concealer or foundation and a pale eyeshadow or setting powder. Learn how to create this look with LA based artist and TikTok creator $amantha.
