All of This Month’s Viral TikTok Beauty Hacks That Aren’t Total Bullshit

Clarke adds a few swipes of the bright orange pigment on her cheeks before using a large fluffy brush to buff it along her cheekbones. The pumpkin hue blends out into a soft peach blush that looks gorgeous on her cheeks. “I like to use this hack because I love finding different ways to use products you may already have in your collection but never thought of using it in that way,” she shares with Allure.

Contouring Your Nose With Eyeliner

Maryland-based user Amina Keita shared an easier way to control your nose contour by using an eyeliner pencil. Instead of the usual cream or powder contour, she uses the Wet N Wild Color Icon Kohl Liner Pencil in Simma Brown Now to draw fine lines. At first, she gravitated to the product because she couldn’t find contour products that were dark enough for her skin tone, she tells Allure. She also loved using it for her eyebrows and lips and one day decided to try it on her nose. 

“I realized that not only was it the perfect shade, it was [also] affordable and gave me a lot more control,” she shares. “Even now, nine years later, although I have several contour products, I continue to use this method.” She swears her nose contour is perfect every single time with the product.

Coloring Your Lashes

Colorful lashes were all over social media in 2020, and the trend hasn’t died down yet. Toronto-based user Suzan Dabas wanted to try out the trend for herself. Instead of coloring the full lash, she applies a bright yellow eyeliner to a few hairs, creating a striped effect. She uses the Matte Lashes Pastel Water-Activated Palette and a small brush to paint the lashes. She chose a water-activated pigment because the lash can be restored back to its original color once it’s rinsed. That way she can try out the trend without damaging her falsies. 

Brightening the Undereye

Concealer is a handy multipurpose product that can be used as a highlight under your eyes, to cover up acne, or act as your foundation. But what if you used white concealer to highlight the undereye? OK, it may sound odd, but many TikTok users, including New York-based Thiri, have given the trick their stamp of approval. She saw a video from fellow user Halen Rodriguez, who added a white concealer right under her eye, then blended it out with a concealer a bit lighter than her skin tone.
