Renowned Makeup Artist and Brand Founder Patrick Ta has curated glamorous looks for A-listers like Gigi Hadid, Shay Mitchell, Camila Cabello, and Sydney Sweeney. While celebrated for his flawless beats, one standout feature has become his signature touch. Ta consistently employs a unique under-eye blush technique, using a soft, baby-pink blush. The result? A real-life filter effect, that enhances the beauty of every model and celebrity he works with. In a groundbreaking move, Patrick Ta has finally unveiled the details of his under-eye blush technique, giving you all you need to recreate this stunning look.

For this technique, Patrick starts with powder blush and then sets it with cream blush—and this goes against pretty much everything we have learned about makeup. Set your creams and liquids with powder, right? Wrong! This technique completely blew up on social media because it goes against the norm.

Of course, Ta busts out his blush product, Major Headlines Double-Take, to achieve this radiant, rosy glow. This compact palette combines a cream and powder blush. Many bright pinks will work, but we highly recommend ‘She’s a Doll’; it is ideal for achieving that bright blushing effect. Unlike the conventional approach of starting with the cream formula, Ta begins with the powder blush. Using a blush brush, he delicately applies it to the apples of the cheeks, moving upward. Next, set the blush with a white setting powder, followed by a pink setting powder for a bright, blurred under-eye effect. Ensure to dust off any excess powder before proceeding.

Returning to the PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo, use the cream formula to reapply over the same area, slightly extending the color under the eye. This step revives the natural glow in your complexion. While the under-eye blush technique may take longer than a standard look, the stunning result is worth the effort, especially for photographs.

This hack combines the best of both concepts — the cream blush adds a layer of depth to the powder, while the powder tames down that ultra sheen that sometimes accompanies wearing cream blush. We wouldn’t call the finish dewy, but a glossy velvet, as if this is just nature flushing your skin from within. The number of compliments we got on our makeup from friends after trying the technique was astonishing. “Whatever you’re doing, keep doing that,” they encouraged.

You might be wondering what makes Patrick Ta’s viral blush technique so special. And the answer is quite simple: luminosity. If you’re the sort of person who wants to look bright and glowing, this technique was made for you. The whole point of doing the powder and then cream is because the cream adds sheen to your skin. Whereas, on the other hand, if you set your cream with a powder, you’re getting a more matte effect. Trust us when we say once you try Patrick Ta’s viral blush technique, you will never go back to your old ways.
