Ladies!!! Let's discuss underpainting. Underpainting is a technique created by celebrity makeup artist, Mary Philips. Essentially, the goal of this method is to create a seamless, skin-like finish. The process involves applying highlight, contour, and blush as your base prior to foundation application. Whether you're going for glam or a clean girl look, underpainting can achieve it.

Initially, I was skeptical about my abilities to master this technique, because I've just graduated from novice level to proficient in traditional highlight/contour makeup application. Underpainting primarily involves the use of cream-based products for your base. I know I'm not alone when I say, it took me countless YouTube, TikTok & Instagram tutorials, just to feel confident enough to give it a try.
Overall, I'm happy to have learned both methods, but underpainting is truly that girl. What do you think ladies? Have you tried underpainting?
