No more cakey foundations that leave marks when you apply them and dull your complexion. With this technique revealed by an influencer, your foundation will be more glowy than ever and will be barely noticeable on your skin.
It is not easy to obtain this famous effect ” make-up no make-up ”So trendy at the moment. Wearing makeup without looking makeup is quite an art. You have to find the right foundation, one that can sufficiently cover the imperfections that you absolutely want to hide but which is not too covering, in which case you risk the mask effect (which is absolutely not wanted for a makeup succeeded). The good news is that instead of spending days or even weeks or months finding the right foundation and the right foundation, you really just need to add a step in your makeup routine daily so you don’t have to worry anymore. And this little step that changes everything is influencer Choe Milly, better known as @milly__chan on TikTok, who unveiled it on the social network.
The trick to making your complexion glowy
In this video, she shows her followers her “very long” routine to have a perfect complexion. After applying her moisturizing primer, she mixes two foundations on a plastic plate to achieve a shade suited to her skin tone. And that’s where she presents his trick : it vaporizes a large amount of fixing spray to moisten your foundation then she mixes it up. Before applying it to her face with a sponge, she also applies a veil of spray on her skin. Thus, the foundation is much easier to apply and blends better with the skin. In fact, she uses the same technique to apply her concealer: she sprays fixing spray on the product that she has placed on a plastic plate. Note: it is important to make the mixture on a plate or the back of your hand (and not in the bottle of your product) to prevent the growth of bacteria in the bottle of your foundation.
If you pay attention to the video, you will see that it does not use two light foundations, but rather covering and thick products to put on makeup. The influencer explains this choice, not in her video, but in the comments area: “ by diluting the high coverage foundation, it is much easier to apply it without sacrificing coverage. If you use the same trick with a light foundation, you may have a hard time evening out your complexion and hiding small imperfections.
The rest of the application routine
To fully blend the concealer into the foundation, the young woman uses a clean sponge that she taps all over her face. A technique that is also used by professional makeup artists. She continues her routine by applying setting powder only to the places that need it, namely the forehead, under the eyes and the chin, and applying bronzer and blush to the powder-free areas. Thus, the cakey effect is avoided. And she finishes by generously putting highlighter on the top of her cheekbones and on her nose. To fix everything, she applies the fixing spray 2 to 3 times, letting it dry between each spray.
And all this time spent doing makeup is worth it because the result is simply impressive! The skin is clear and luminous, and the foundation is not visible.
We mixed some spray with our foundation and here’s what we think
Faced with the rather incredible result shown on the video, we wanted to test on our side. For this, we used Bourjois Always Fabulous Foundation, which is very covering and quite thick, as well as the You Are Cosmetics Fixing Spray, with a light formula. As the base she uses is moisturizing, we opted for the Too Faced Hangover Too Good To Go Day Cream which can be used as a make-up base.
Once all our products were chosen, we followed the tutorial to the letter:
We first put the base, then a veil of spray on the face before applying the moistened foundation (which we mixed with the fixing spray on the palm of our hand with the handle of a brush. ). It should be noted that mixing your foundation on your hand makes lose some material. To compensate for this, it is better to apply a larger amount of foundation than what you generally apply on your face. After spraying a good dose of fixing spray, thethe foundation liquefies immediately and, indeed, its application is much easier, it there are no traces even when applied with a brush. On the other hand, it loses some coverage.
Once the routine is finished (we did not forget to spray two layers of fixing spray on our face to finalize the whole thing), the result is bluffing. The finish is ultra glowy, which will not necessarily please oily skin who prefer to bet on dullness. On the other hand, we feel that the material is well fixed on the skin, which is not very pleasant. The foundation is, on the other hand, well-melted to the skin, you can’t see it on the skin unless you look very closely. Clear, we validate this technique which still requires to have a little time in front of you in the morning, and we recommend it for well hydrated skin without too many imperfections on the face.
