At PAC, we only vouch for beauty hacks that work and are backed by experts, not internet hype. Here’s a quick guide to makeup artist-approved hacks and which yay or nay beauty trends to skip in 2025.
Yay: Slugging – the hydration hero
Dermatologists say that applying a thick occlusive over your moisturizer at night (known as slugging) can lock in moisture and repair the skin barrier. Great for dry patches—but avoid if you're prone to acne. It is also ideal to incorporate into your nighttime routine if you are wearing heavy makeup the next day and want to prevent your makeup from looking dry, patchy, or cakey.
Nay: Sunscreen contouring – a dangerous game
The idea of strategically masking areas with SPF to keep them lighter? Experts call it a massive skincare no – it risks burns, premature aging, and potentially skin cancer. Here’s a makeup myth debunked: sunscreen isn’t for contouring, just for protection.
Yay: Double-cleansing – cleanse clean
Top skincare pros swear by double cleansing: start with a cleaning balm like the PAC Total Clean Cleansing Balm to remove makeup, dirt, or sunscreen, then follow with a gentle foam cleanser.
Nay: Facial oil boost – a nourishing trick
Some recommend mixing a few drops of facial oil into moisturizer to seal hydration but most often it interferes with your makeup formulas and causes makeup to melt, fade or look too oily.
PAC trending makeup tip 2025: Use the PAC Studio Finish Oil Primer as it locks in moisture while prepping your skin for makeup, so your makeup look won’t fade but still look flawless with an unparalleled glow!
Then? Do makeup hacks really work? Depends—home remedies can soothe, but often fall short without science-backed formulations.
