Another day, another viral makeup trend!
This time, it’s one you’re probably somewhat familiar with; but it’s been taken to the next level.
Introducing: Underpainting.
Underpainting is basically where you take the make-up that you would usually layer over your foundation, and put it underneath your foundation instead.

And it’s not just concealer and bronzer – some people are even underpainting with blush and highlight too! Wild.
The benefits of underpainting are basically that you get an extremely natural, well blended and subtle makeup look.
It’s a way to change the appearance of the structure of your face without looking super caked; think A list celebrity levels of artistry!

So, how do you do underpainting?
You’ll really just be doing your makeup as normal, but you can go a bit heavier with your products, and foundation will go on last.
Use cream products so everything is seamless, and blend well but don’t be afraid if it looks a little out of place; the foundation will bring everything together!

It’s also key to pick a nice, sheer or lightweight foundation that won’t cover up all the work you’ve done with your ‘underpainting’.
Et voila – you’re only gorgeous!
