Ok so let’s talk about the face lift that doesn’t cost a dime. Well, it costs the price of a drugstore concealer. This snatched makeup tutorial is the real deal. I have hooded eyes and a perpetually tired-looking midface. Surgery is not in my budget. Contouring is. Here’s the thing, you don’t need a pro kit to get that lifted look. You just need to know where to put the dark and light stuff.
Look, I have tried every trick in the book. Literally. I have a stack of old magazines in my bathroom. Anyway. Here are the heavy hitters I keep in my makeup bag:
- Elf Poreless Putty Primer ($4)
- NYX Sweet Cheeks in So Taupe ($7)
- Real Techniques Sponge ($6)
- Wet n Wild MegaGlo in Precious Petals ($5)
- Coty Airspun Powder ($6)
- Elf Matte Magic Mist ($8)
Under 35 bucks for the whole base. That is a steal.
Fixing Your Base Without Breaking the Bank
Honestly, if your skin is slippery or dry in the wrong spots, your contour will slide right off. That is not snatched. That is just sad.
I use the Elf Poreless Putty Primer. It is like four bucks. I pat it right where my smile lines and nose meets the cheek. It smooths everything out just enough.
You do not need a $50 primer. A cheap one works if you press it in with your ring finger. The heat melts it into the skin. Weird tip right? Try it.
Mapping the Snatched Aesthetic (The Placement Game)
Forget the Instagram triangles. They look great on a filter. In real life, you need harsh lines that you can blend out softly.
I take the NYX Sweet Cheeks Creamy Powder in “So Taupe”. It is literally perfect for fair to medium skin and costs around $7. I draw a line starting from the top of my ear, going straight down into my cheek hollow. Not a curve. A
