Which #FoundationHack Videos Are Most Popular Right Now?
From videos sharing simple tweaks to our makeup routine to those that have us ripping up the rule book, here are some of the most popular foundation trends to emerge from TikTok.
1- Making Your Foundation Last Longer
Our favourite beauty products don’t come cheap, so a video on how to make them last longer was sure to be a hit. Cue TikToker @TamraLords who offered up her tip for making sure more of your foundation goes onto your face instead of into your brush!
Racking up 180.2k likes, she advises applying your foundation using a non-porous surface first, such as the lid of your foundation, before then blending with your beauty brush.
2- The Square Contour Challenge
This hack is not for the short on time! This intricate foundation hack sees people use makeup to divide their face into small squares. In each square, they include different tones depending on where they want to cover, contour or brighten. The result is then blended to create natural-looking coverage.
One TikToker, @DanielleMarcan has taken on the challenge, with the video so far racking up 23.6k likes.
3- Applying Your Foundation Last
Usually, foundation is one of the first things in our makeup routine. However, TikTok user @GoldenBeauty_xo flipped that on its head when her video suggested that we should be applying a translucent powder before our foundation to create a flawless finish. With a staggering 1 million likes, it seems many of us agree!
