Makeup Artist's Timeless Toner Trick Goes Viral

In a recent video posted on social media, a US-based makeup artist, Erica Taylor, demonstrated a unique method of applying hydrating toner after applying makeup. Taylor, who boasts 25+ years of experience and is a member of the L’Oréal Paris Makeup Artist League of Expert, compared the traditional spray-bottle application with a hands-on technique. She stated, "Back in the day, before setting sprays, we used to apply toners directly to the face and press them in. It prevents a cakey look." The video, which has garnered over 11,900 views, shows Taylor applying the toner to one side of her face using a spray bottle and the other side using her hands. She concludes that the hands-on method provides a more natural, even application. The video highlights a practical skincare tip with a historical context, offering a simple, budget-friendly approach to makeup application.
