American influencer Mikayla Nogueira has struck again! In a video watched by a few million people, the social media star presents a make-up trick intended to camouflage pimples. All without giving the impression – and this is important – of being made up.
Who hasn’t woken up one morning to find a clearly visible red pimple on their face? Ordinary mortals are subject to the vagaries of certain environmental factors, including pollution, as well as to the harmful effects of a diet that is too fatty, or more commonly a high dose of stress. So many disruptors that can give rise to imperfections, from blackheads to bright red pimples. If it was once easy to camouflage these undesirables under layers of make-up, it is much less so at a time when beauty treatments are more natural, and sometimes even non-existent. A problem that the influencer Mikayla Nogueira took it head on, revealing to its subscribers an infallible trick to camouflage a pimple without putting on makeup.
Camouflage a pimple in one minute flat!
Known for her techniques and methods of all kinds in make-up and skincare, the professional makeup artist followed by nearly 15 million people on TikTok revealed her trick in a video that lasts no more than a minute. The icing on the cake, she only uses three products – and not one more – to deal with what she calls herself a ‘visitor’. “Let me show you how to hide it, I promise it’s easy”, begins the expert, who herself has a very bright red pimple above her mouth. The rest is child’s play.
Mikayla Nogueira begins simply by cleaning the object of all attention, the objective being to clean up the imperfection and the entire area around it. Nothing very complicated. Then, the professional make-up artist grabs a green corrector, well known for overcoming redness, and applies a tiny amount with a brush to the imperfection. Which actually begins to disappear.
Mikayla Nogueira specifies that you shouldn’t have a heavy hand on the corrector at the risk of having a green dot instead of the original button. Final step: the concealer, preferably matte and in a pot, which she applies again with a brush before blending it out with her fingertips. A tiny dose of loose powder to fix everything, and you’re done! The imperfection has disappeared, without even having resorted to a worked and ultra-sophisticated beauty treatment.
TikTok video has 4 million views
Some will no doubt be skeptical when reading this tip, but it is clear that many were grateful to him for having shared this beauty gesture. In just two days, the video garnered over 4 million views, with a host of rave reviews. “This green concealer made such a difference, great tip!”, “That just saved my life!”, “Wow! I love the final look. So pretty and fresh!”can we read among the thousands of comments published under the video.
It’s not the first time, far from it, that the social media star has garnered a lot of attention thanks to her beauty tips and tricks. The young woman is one of the influencers who popularized “Face Wine” in 2022, honoring a famous French brand, and is at the origin of the ‘sticky method’, a technique already intended to camouflage all kinds of two-step imperfections. Two beauty gestures that have undoubtedly helped to swell his community, and allowed him to exceed one billion likes.
