Reverse makeup: what if this technique was the secret to an ultra-bright complexion?

When applying makeup, it’s customary to use concealer and then foundation before moving on to contouring (if desired), blush and highlighter. But a new technique, christened Back Trick And democratized by Mary Philipsthe make-up artist of Hailey Bieber or Kendall Jenner, is beginning to emerge on social networks.

The method in brief

The technique devised by one of the most famous make-up artists in the world consists of completely reverse the routine starting with contouringthen applying her concealer to the spots that need some light. In the last step – place the foundation, which is applied in a “very light” layer and forming soft circular movements with a large powder brush. Once the base is in place, you can add blush if you wish, or even highlighter to give even more luminosity to the skin.

Why is there so much talk about this method?

Simple to makethis technique does not require any special makeup skills and it doesn’t require the addition of products that we don’t already have at home. Since the foundation is used after sculpting products, no demarcation manages to make the final look too severe and marked. With the addition of the latter as a finishing touch, the skin is luminous, the complexion exalted and the result is ultra-natural. Is this the demand of the people?
