As soon as I came across Emily Wood’s outdoorsy make-up TikToks, I knew that I’d hit gold dust. “I’ve always seen make-up as both functional and a form of escapism,” says Wood, whose “lip liner trick” videos have racked up over 25 million views.Inspired by the women in her family, Wood quickly became enamoured with the idea of multi-use make-up. “My Auntie San is definitely the main source of inspiration. She would always have a red lipstick with her and she’d blend the same product on her cheeks and over her nose – all whilst wearing a fabulous faux-fur coat,” Wood shares with Vogue. Not only is it a liberating approach to wearing your most treasured lip products, “it’s just easy, accessible and sustainable,” says Wood.As for her signature open-air backdrop? The make-up artist just took the plunge one day mid-shoot while working on a partnership with Byredo. “I started doing little make-up videos on set, with the cows behind me and the mountains. It just really landed with my audience and I was like, Wait, this is so good! It gets me outside, which is so great for your mental health.”Clearly, it can be the simplest, most spontaneous trends that stick. Just ask Kim Kardashian, who proclaimed to her millions of followers “wait I need to try this hack ASAP”, after watching influencer Meredith Duxbury test out Wood’s trend. “It was very surreal at first and makes sense because she loves her creamy contour products and hacks. I just love how accessible the technique is – you can use it if you’re really advanced with make-up or a complete beginner. It’s a freeing way to apply and blend contour without it being too complicated or intimidating,” Wood adds.Eager to give this super fun hack a go, I asked Wood for all of her top tips and products to note.<h2>A step-by-step guide:</h2><ol><li>Cleanse, moisturise and apply your SPF of choice.</li><li>Let your skin breathe for a few minutes.</li><li>Grab your neutral, creamy lip liner and scribble it all over your cheeks, the bridge of your nose, your forehead and of course, your lips.</li><li>Blend, blend, blend.</li><li>Repeat once more for added intensity or as an underpainting technique.</li></ol>Emily Wood-approved, these two hero products will offer you a seamless, blendable application.Revolution Irl Filter Finish Lip Definer Americano BrownLisa Eldridge Sculpt &amp; Shade Lip PencilFor the perfect shade, match to your usual contour colour.
