Editor Experiment: I Tried 3 TikTok Foundation Hacks
I Tried 3 (Slightly Intimidating) TikTok Foundation Hacks — and This One Was the Best

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought of mixing foundation with setting powder. I used the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder ($39) and Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Luminous Matte Foundation ($40), and mixed them together on the back of my hand.
First impression: it's thick and very dry. Because you're essentially making a paste, the foundation becomes a little hard to apply but with the right brush, you can blend it in. I'll admit, immediately after I finished the rest of my makeup I thought it looked good. A few hours later, not so much. It became really cakey and dry as the day went on. This made it settle in fine lines and become patchy.
