Celebrity makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes has revealed a pretty unique makeup trick that could make you completely change the way you apply lipstick.
Hughes, who has done her makeup artistry on celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Ashley Graham and Karlie Kloss, shared the tutorial. on tiktok this week.
She often takes to her social media platforms to share her various makeup and beauty tips and tricks with her followers.
In this video, she explained a technique that would make your lipstick look even better than before.
In a new video posted to TikTok, celebrity makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes revealed an incredible trick for applying lipstick.
Hughes shared a different way to apply lipstick and told viewers not to apply it the traditional way, where the front of the bullet faces the lips.
The makeup artist’s video has reached more than 13,000 views on TikTok since it was posted earlier this week.
“I have a slightly different lipstick application trick for you this morning,” Hughes began the video.
“We’re not going to apply our lipstick with that part of the bullet,” she explained, pointing to the tip of the lipstick as she tilted it to the side.
She explained that when you applied your lipstick this way, you had “reduced visibility in the actual lip line.”
“However, when you rotate the bullet, that angle allows you to see everything a little better,” the makeup artist continued.
She turned the lipstick so that the back of the bullet was facing her lips.
Using the back of the lipstick, she colored the left side of her upper lip.
This technique allowed him to do it in a super controlled and precise way.
To show a comparison, she also applied lipstick to the right side of her upper lip using the traditional lipstick application method.
Instead, Hughes turned the back of the lipstick bullet toward her lips, explaining that this would result in a more precise application.
“However, when you rotate the bullet, that angle allows you to see everything a little better,” the makeup artist explained in the video.
While applying lipstick this way, she explained that she felt like she had ‘more control.’
Hughes has been a makeup artist for several magazines, including Glamor and Rolling Stone.
“This, to me, feels more cumbersome, and it’s easy for me to go beyond the lip line, compared to when I do this, I have more control,” she explained.
She then went on to apply the mauve color to her lower lip.
“And for the bottom lip, honestly, the same thing,” Hughes continued, while applying lipstick, which was MAC Cosmetics brand in the color Whirl.
“Just go first where the lip opens instead of the lip line, and then pretty much the same, it’s better when you use the tip of the bullet.”
The finished product?
A perfectly stunning and evenly applied lip.
“Sit me down and let me know what it’s like or let me know what you think,” Hughes concluded.
In the comments section, many were apparently impressed by the trick or were already doing it themselves.
Hughes also used a similar technique to paint the bottom of her lip, using Mac Cosmetics lipstick in the color Whirl.
At the end of the clip, he showed the final product and asked viewers to tell him what they thought of the technique.
In the comments section of his TikTok post, some people admitted that they had been using this technique themselves.
‘I completely agree and yet, I can’t do it, I just can’t. You are 100% correct,” one person wrote.
Another agreed: ‘I’m going to try this! Just yesterday I went outside my lip line doing this.
“I’ve always done it that way… I didn’t even know people did it any other way,” someone else wrote.
One user even chimed in and admitted: ‘Literally always do this!’ Although I’ve been called a lunatic for that before, haha.
