The reverse cat-eye
@paintedbyspencer Love a good REVERSE cat eye #fypã‚· #foryou #FerragamoLetsDance #makeup
The reverse cat-eye looks exactly like it sounds. Instead of applying eyeliner to the top lash line, it is smudged out and extended on the bottom lash line, creating a smoky reverse wing. @PaintedBySpencer, a makeup artist based in Los Angeles, shared a TikTok video of the reverse cat-eye, which quickly exceeded 2 million views.

The before and after is insane!

Blush placement tips
@meganlavallie Blush is a game changer! #makeuphacks #makeuptutorial #makeuptransformation
The placement of your blush can affect the shape and effect of your face (for instance, wind-swept vs sundrenched). Megan Lavallie’s viral video shows how to apply blush to make the apples of your cheeks look fuller instead of lifted, or how to apply blush to make your cheeks look chiseled instead of sunkissed.

The setting spray hack
@kevikodra Pro-setting spray trick #fyp #makeup #makeupartist #makeuptutorial #beautyhack #beautyreview #skin #glam #makeuphack #makeupvideos
If you’ve been sprinkling your face with setting spray. Stop. Immediately. This video by Kevi Kodra, about how to get the most out of your setting spray is game-changing. Instead of spritzing it on your face, take a clean damp beauty blender, spray your setting mist on it until it’s pretty wet, and then bounce it on the palm of your hand to get the product into the sponge. Begin by lightly pressing the sponge into your skin where you want to highlight. It will not only give you a beautiful glow and blend your makeup seamlessly into your skin, but it will also make it last longer.
