3. *Pores and skin texture are *completely normal*, but if you do want to reduce the appearance of pores, go with a fan-favorite (and TikTok beloved) primer like E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty primer, which is infused with squalene to hydrate, smooth over skin for a seamless finish, and hold onto makeup for all-day staying power.

Promising review: "Normally my makeup goes on great, but then once it dries it's super crusty and shows my pores, but this made everything so smooth and my skin has never looked so healthy. Even after I took my makeup off my skin felt moisturized which is a hard thing to do with my dry skin. I saw the hype all over social media about this primer and I never believed it, but finally decided to take the plunge and test it out and now I'll never go with out it." —Taylor Kessinger

7 Viral TikTok Makeup Hacks to Try
You should take online beauty advice with a grain of salt. However, some viral beauty hacks are absolute gems. These are the hacks that are legit and worth a shot.
1. Blush placement for a lifted look
Still applying blush to the apples of your cheeks? This TikTok makeup hack is for you. In @isaachalvorsen7’s viral TikTok video, he demonstrates how blush placement can make the face appear more lifted with this placement technique.
You’ll need a clean blush and blush brush for this hack. Instead of applying blush to the apples of your cheeks, bring the placement to the back of the cheekbones. You can even place the product around your temples. This emphasizes the cheekbones instead of making the cheeks look fuller, creating a more sculpted look.

2. Soap brows
There seems to be a new viral brow product or technique every season. As of right now, fluffy and natural-looking brows are in. To achieve this, TikTok beauty gurus recommend the soap brows technique.
While there are soap brow products for this technique, you don’t need anything fancy to do this today — just grab a plain bar of soap and spoolie. In @millieleer’s viral TikTok video, she tries soap brows for the first time.
Simply spray your bar soap or soap brows product with some water and rub the spoolie directly on it to create a paste. This acts like a gel for your brow hairs. While the product is still wet, apply it to the brows and use the spoolie to brush them in the direction you want. Allow the product to dry, and enjoy your fluffy and natural-looking brows that will stay put all day.

3. Set your moisturizer with powder and spray before makeup
How you prep your skin heavily affects how your makeup application will turn out. If you want a flawless base, this requires some preparation. TikTok user @jaridadoesntexist’s video went viral for this out-of-the-box makeup hack that many people now swear by.
To try this hack, you will need your favorite moisturizer, setting powder, setting spray, and foundation. Apply your moisturizer as you normally would, then set it with both setting powder and spray. Allow it to dry completely before applying your foundation as usual. TikTok users have given their positive feedback on this makeup hack, which claims to yield crease-free makeup that stays all day.

4. Face lift with concealer
For the last several years, the go-to concealer method was the triangle shape. This emphasizes the lowest part of the cheek, which does the opposite of achieving that lifted look. Instead, less is more. Apply a small amount of concealer in the inner part of the under eye and side of the nose for contour. Avoid putting too much concealer where you may have fine lines, as this can cause creasing.
Then, apply concealer to the outer part of the under eye in an upwards motion like a winged liner. This will act like a highlighter to lift that area of the face. Professional makeup artist @scortezzbeauty demonstrates this beautifully.
