This TikTok Viral K-Beauty Hack Is the Key to a Flawless Foundation Base

Korean skincare and makeup hacks have been the most sought-after for quite some time. It's no secret that Korean foundation spatulas have a newfound awareness and likeness thanks to TikTok.

Amassing over 1.7 billion views on TikTok, the hype behind #Koreanspatulas is super real. We did some digging to find out why. The tool is designed to create the thinnest layer of foundation application, setting your beat up for that coveted "second skin" look. No more "little miss cakey face," as we're only leaning towards flawless coverage in this new year. Many pro makeup artists and glam influencers have taken to the app to try this technique, and the South Korean beauty trend is the key to achieving that "makeup, no makeup" beat down. To ace the method, apply your desired foundation or skin tint to the back of your hand and then swipe the tool on the slimmest side down to pick up the product and apply it to your face. Magic.
