There are *a lot* of beauty hacks you can find on TikTok, and the newest one that's going viral recently is so interesting—it'll change how you apply your makeup!
Most of us were taught to apply foundation and concealer before going in with the bronzer. There's totally nothing wrong with that, but if you want to achieve more natural-looking sculpted cheekbones, you might want to contour your face before doing anything else.
Celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips uses this special technique (otherwise known as the "backward makeup hack") on supermodels Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.

Tara Sigari, the content creator who was one of the first to share the hack, gushed about how it made her face look "sculpted" and "glowy". She started the tutorial by contouring her face and concealing her undereye area. Then, she used a fluffy powder brush to apply and blend her foundation in circular motions. Lastly, she applied some blush—and that's it!
