As usual, TikTok Internet users do what they can, even if it means overflowing with imagination (sometimes too much?). Because it must be said that this time the trick is quite eccentric: treats to achieve your make-up. This is the “makeup candy hack”, which is not so new but has been making a big comeback on the Chinese platform in recent weeks.
Tell me which candy you choose, I’ll tell you what blush it will be
The concept is quite simple, you have to start by choosing your candy, chocolate or cola flavor. Then, lick it, add a little saliva (less glam than using a brush, we grant you), then smear it on your face, or at least on strategic places, like the cheekbones. to add color and enhance the complexion.
For a beautiful result, it is preferable to opt for red or pink colored confectionery, as desired. But this new kind of tip works just as well for eye shadow, in shades ranging from black for a perfect smoky eye to the brightest shades for a summer or festive make-up, as for lipsticks.
This is demonstrated by a publication signed @poopiblh, viewed nearly two million times. We see the young woman making her eye shadow and blush from confectionery. All done with a lot of humor and self-deprecation.
A trend that follows “Jelly Tint”
This beauty gesture, if we can call it that, is reminiscent of the recent craze among Internet users for a (real) candy-shaped blush, the “Jelly Tint” from the Milk Makeup brand. This popular product has also created a buzz on TikTok recently. And it is also to him that we owe the renewed interest in this old gourmet trend.
If it does not seem useful, nor usual, to apply candy to your face, not to mention the sticky and unappealing aspect of such a technique, we can at least affirm that it is in no way dangerous , although it may lead to the appearance of imperfections.
