When it comes to the most searched Pinterest beauty looks, we're betting those of the Hadid sisters are up there. The host of 'how-to' tutorials on YouTube showing viewers how to emulate said looks provide serious click bait, so when Chloe Morello took things to the next level and brought world renowned makeup artist to the stars, and more specifically Bella and Gigi, Patrick Ta in front of the ring light, it's fair to say views rocketed.
In the video, Patrick revealed some of his most inspired beauty tips and tricks as he worked his magic on Chloe's makeup look. Here are some of his finest momoments:
How To Avoid Eyshadow Sprinkles
You know what we mean, you're busy blending in the smokiest of smokey eyes, meanwhile dark shadow is raining down on your cheeks like confetti, leaving you with an unsightly smudge when you try to wipe it away. Patrick uses under-eye guards to catch any overspill as he applies, allowing him to gently whip it off without the merest hint of a mark when he's done. Genius. Pick up a pack of Disposable Shield Protector Pads, £4.99, on Amazon.
How To Get Fuller Lips
Liner is key. Patrick gently both lines and fills in the lip so that there isn't a visible outline, and everything blends together. He follows with a creamy lipstick on top, before finishing with a touch of gloss (not too much - it ain't the noughties any more!) to give the illusion of added dimension. Sold.
The Pro's Perfect Finishing Touch
Patrick uses blusher. Not groundbreaking enough for you? Well he doesn't limit its use to cheeks. Patrick uses blusher as a means to draw the whole look together. He brushes a little gently onto the eyes, and down onto the decolletage too. Not enough for you to look at one of his clients and wonder why they're sporting a pink tone of collarbone, but a touch that's sufficient enough to subtly tone everything through and create some continuity.
The Contouring Trick
And finally, one last game-changing revelation for you. Instead of slicking on shadow after applying everything else you can think of, Patrick ensures his contouring looks as natural as possible by blending it on before he even picks up the base. This creates a very diffused effect, that appears indistinguishable from real shadow. Try it once and you won't look back. And to help you along your way, why not peruse our pick of the best contouring products out there. You. Are. Welcome.
