Revenge Makeup: how to recreate the makeup that hits on TikTok in 10 steps
So you can remind them what they missed.
Revenge Makeup is all over TikTok. Naturally luminous skin, sculpted cheekbones and a dark look would make any ex realize what he's been missing. While sultry and sexy, revenge makeup takes '90s glam to the next level with heavy contouring and dewy lips. More intense than Siren Eyes , this look is guaranteed to boost your confidence. Here's how to achieve this alluring look in 10 steps.
Step 1: the primer
Preparing the skin is arguably the most important step in any makeup. If your skin isn't properly hydrated, base makeup won't stay on properly. To start your revenge makeup , we recommend that you choose a nourishing primer. If you have oilier skin, opt for an eye-catching primer that will guarantee makeup hold. If uneven texture and pores are an issue, there are plenty of filler primer options.
Step 2: concealer
One of the key elements of revenge makeup is its effortless character. To avoid any risk of smudging, L'OFFICIEL recommends applying concealer before foundation. Add a small amount under the eyes, around the nose, and over any discoloration or blemishes your skin may have. For concealers, opt for a creamy, hydrating formula that blends seamlessly into your skin type.
Step 3: foundation
Since we opted for concealer before the rest of the routine, there is less need to use too much foundation. Instead, choose your favorite luminous formula, pat it into the palm of your hand, and blend it into the skin using a foundation brush.
Step 4: contouring
Now that the face is radiant and even, the next step is contouring. We recommend choosing a cream formula with a cool tint to mimic the natural shadows of the face. Simply contour under the cheekbones and follow the natural line up to the chin. Add a little to the forehead, the bridge of the nose and under the jawline. Blend with a beauty blender or brush, depending on your preference.
Step 5: blush
Choose your favorite liquid or cream blush and apply it to the high point of your cheeks. For a brighter look, you can also add a small amount of blush to the bridge of your nose. Blend with a sponge or brush.
Step 6: set the makeup
Now that the base is complete, we need to put everything in place. It is recommended to use a setting spray, followed by a setting powder, then finish with a new setting spray. This helps ensure that the makeup is securely in place.
Step 7: powdered products
This step is optional, but you can boost the contour or blush with powder formulas of either. If you want to exaggerate the cheekbones, swipe your favorite contour powder over the cream formula. If you want brighter cheeks, add a powder blush on top of the cream.
Step 8: the base of the eyes
To prepare the eyes, use a contour shade similar to the one used previously in the crease of the eyelids. This will blend the colors of your face and create an effortless look.
Step 9: eyes
To achieve this dark look, start by applying black or dark brown eyeshadow to the top and bottom of your eyes. Use your finger to blend the shadow and glide the product on like you would an eyeliner. Don't be afraid to do a bit of a mess, because it makes for a sexy and sultry look. Line your eyes with black eyeliner. Finally, curl your lashes and use a lengthening mascara.
Step 10: Lips
Revenge makeup allows you to achieve rosy lips, effortlessly. Apply your favorite lipstick, satin or gloss, then blot on most of the formula. This will give you a natural lipstick without wearing too much makeup.
