I Tried the “Supermodel Face Lift” Makeup Technique Taking Over TikTok

Another day, another makeup technique going viral on TikTok. We’ve seen tons of TikTok makeup trends get popular over the past few years—from dot contouring to underpainting to “I’m cold” makeup—and there’s no indication that TikTok makeup will start slowing down any time soon. The latest makeup trend that keeps popping up on my For You page is called the “supermodel face lift,” and after seeing it consistently gain more and more momentum, I decided it was time I tried it for myself.

Inspired by the lifted look we see on models like Bella Hadid, this makeup trend is all about giving your features an upward illusion. It’s fairly simple to understand—for every product you put on your face, make sure that it’s trending in an upward direction so it doesn’t look like anything is pulling you down. I followed along step by step with a TikTok explaining the trend, and the results are honestly pretty impressive.
