TikTok is single-handedly fueling our obsession with hyper realistic makeup. It’s makeup that looks so flawless, so perfected, but so life-like it’s impossible to tell whether it’s natural skin or not. Partly popularized by a stream of unshakeable filters that give a perfected finish, and partly inspired by relentless pursuit of excellent skin, this is a trend that aims to give you skin so good it looks filtered (even when it’s not). Now, with the launch of Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer, it has never been easier to create flawless, perfected skin. Here are the flawless makeup tips you need to know…
How to get flawless makeup

How to prep for a hyper realistic result
Hyper realistic makeup requires excellent preparation. Skin must be balanced, supple and hydrated for the full effect. After cleansing top up hydration levels with Mattifying Oil-Free Moisturizer. Massage in well to stimulate circulation and bring a natural healthy flush to the surface of your skin. Follow with Pure Canvas Primer Hydration to seal that hydration in and provide a base for your makeup to last long into the evening.
How to conceal for a flawless finish
Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer’s doe foot applicator has been designed to mimic the shape and softness of a fingertip helping you to easily achieve a second-skin finish while effortlessly concealing around hard to reach areas like the sides of the nose and the inner corners of your eyes.
Use the applicator to dot the concealer where you think you need it most. For most people this is over any imperfections such as breakouts, through the T-Zone, around the eye area, and for some women, around the mouth. Use your fingertips to blend the pigment into your skin for a long-lasting finish.
Dial up the flawlessness
You can choose to stop there with your skin and simply round the look out with a touch of Tinted Moisturizer Blush patted onto cheeks and a swoosh of Face Illuminator Highlighter Powder on the tops of your cheekbones, or you can go one step more flawless.
For a complete, long-lasting flawless makeup buff a light layer of Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation over your entire face before applying your concealer. This viral foundation seamlessly blends into skin giving you a your skin but better look. You can use your fingertips to apply or for a more professional finish opt for a brush such as Real Flawless Foundation Brush which is specially angled for flawless application.
Like Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer, Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation has been formulated with a host of skincare ingredients so not only are you creating a perfected finish but nourishing your skin too. Discover the entire Real Flawless Collection.
Lastly, for a lasting flawless finish you must set everything in place with Translucent Loose Setting Powder. This iconic final step reduces shine, delivers a soft matte finish, and won’t flashback in photography. Use the velour puff to press and roll the powder over your entire face to be your most flawless self.
