Commence your makeup routine with the essentials, starting with a flawless base achieved through primer, foundation, and concealer. Sculpt and define your features by adding a touch of bronzer and a soft blush to the apples of your cheeks. Frame the face, and employ a brow gel to shape and define your eyebrows. Once this foundational step is complete, shift your focus to the eyes, exercising patience as precision is key.
Opt for a highly pigmented white eyeliner to meticulously outline your lids, extending slightly beyond the crease, and then use the same pen to fill in the entire space. After it’s dry, switch to a deep black liquid eyeliner. Draw a bold winged tip, creating a striking contrast against the white backdrop and elongating the eyes. Enhance the lower lash line with a white pencil eyeliner and apply a shimmery white eyeshadow to the inner corners. To complete the look, use the black liquid liner one more to fashion a few faux lashes along the lower lash line. Now, get ready to turn heads with this black-and-white beauty look.

You’ll want to ensure you have an optimal eyeliner on hand, to attempt this look as it’s all about preciseness. So, a liquid eyeliner with an ultra-fine tip is your BFF. The other thing to consider is staying power. Inner corner eyeliner is often prone to smudging as it’s so close to the tear duct. To combat this, you’ll need a waterproof formula. So far, our favorite products to get the job done areLancome Idôle, KVD Tattoo Liner, and Stila Stay All Day.
To achieve the inner corner eyeliner look, apply a standard winged eyeliner shape in the outer corner of your eye. Then, using light strokes, start from the inner corner of the eye and trace the upper lash line. Create a mini triangle at the inner corner by lining the bottom of the inner corner duct and extending it towards the outer corner of the eye. Finally, fill in the triangle at the inner corner, ensuring all lines are seamlessly connected.
Celebrity makeup artist Sang Jeon recommends sketching out how you want your liner to go with a pencil first, then going in with your liquid eyeliner. If you make a mistake, Sang Jeon says you can use a cotton swab and micellar water to clean it up.

For final touches, use a waterproof pencil liner to fill in the bottom waterline for a more intense look. Then, carefully curl your eyelashes and apply multiple coats of mascara or add a pair of wispy lashes. If you’re using falsies, we recommend trimming a lash strip in half and applying it to the mid-outer portion of your eyes to accentuate the cat eye shape.
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.
