The Experts Answer TikTok’s Most-Asked Beauty Questions

How do you stop make-up from pilling over SPF?

"Make sure your skin is squeaky clean and exfoliated with an acid toner. Let your skincare and SPF settle before applying make-up. A primer with grip and proper blending with a sponge or buffing brush will also help." – Sophie, make-up artist 

How do you get ‘glass skin’ like Hailey Bieber?

"It’s all in the skin prep. Cleanse thoroughly with a balm and cloth for light physical exfoliation. Follow up with an acid toner to remove any dead skin cells, then hydrate by layering with spritzes, lotions, serums and a light moisturiser." – Sophie Tilley

"Glass skin requires three things: well-hydrated skin, a lightweight foundation, and a sheer but intense highlighter. After applying a hydrating serum, use a moisturiser that leaves the skin feeling plump, then go in with a minimal-coverage foundation. Finish by mixing a little highlighter into your base and buff it over the cheeks, nose and forehead – then highlight the high points with a second layer." – Jessica Kell , make-up artist 

Is there a trick for keeping your curls in all day?

"Start with volumising mousse and heat protection. Use Velcro or heated rollers and let them cool fully. Finish with a strong-hold hairspray. To preserve curls overnight, sleep on a silk pillowcase or use a silk bonnet." – Sophie

Is there a secret to getting the ‘lip gloss only’ look?

"You want high-shine, mega-moisturising gloss with a jelly-like finish. Milky and pale pink tones are especially flattering." – Sophie

"Prep is everything – I start the night before. Hydrate your lips with balm, gently exfoliate with a toothbrush or cotton bud, then apply a lip mask before bed. In the morning, reapply the balm before the gloss for the perfect base." – Jessica

What’s the best way to achieve the ‘coquette’ or ‘mob wife’ look?

"For the coquette look, use two tones of pink blush – a medium tone on the cheek and a lighter one higher up, blending it onto the temples and eyelids. For mob wife, think sultry glam: bold eyes, voluminous lashes, defined brows and flawless skin." – Sophie

"This trend is all about a strong lip – try a deep brown or moody red. Define your cupid's bow with a sharp lipliner and add gloss for extra dimension. Pair it with a sharp winged liner, brown-toned eyeshadow and plenty of bronzer to finish." – Jessica

How do you stop the ‘latte make-up’ look from turning orange?

"Keep the skin tone shades cool and the eye shades warm – think amber, deep tan, milky chocolate, golds and creamy accents. Blend well so each tone flows into the next." – Sophie

What’s the best way to nail ‘supermodel sculpting’?

"Try underpainting. Use a cool-toned cream contour on the jawline, cheekbones, temples, hairline, nose and crease. Add cream blush and liquid highlighter, then layer your foundation or concealer on top." – Sophie

"Use a sculpting stick to trace the areas you want to define, then buff it out with a dense brush. My favourites are the Victoria Beckham Beauty Contour Stylus and the Makeup By Mario Soft Sculpt Stick." – Jessica

How do you get rid of dark circles fast?

"Use a peachy/apricot colour corrector to cancel out blue tones, followed by creamy concealer. Set it with loose powder using a puff, then highlight the inner corners of the eyes." – Sophie

"Hydration is key – both morning and night. Use a light colour corrector in the inner corner only, then layer concealer on top with a light hand. Set it with a brightening powder." – Jessica

What’s the secret to ‘no budge’ eyeliner?

"Avoid kohl liners – opt for liquid or gel formulas, and layer them with a matte black eyeshadow for extra hold. Finish with a setting spray." – Sophie

"Always use an eyeshadow primer first – even without eyeshadow. Rehydrate your liner with Inglot Duraline if it's dried out, and set it with powder to lock it in." – Jessica
