Ten drugstore-simple habits promise to fix the most common at-home makeup mistakes.

TheThings Celebrity built its latest beauty breakdown around a simple premise: most makeup problems aren’t about buying more product, they’re about applying what you already own more carefully. The video, titled “10 Simple Makeup Techniques You Can Try At Home” and cross-listed on some platforms as “10 Makeup Tricks That Will Make You More Attractive,” runs through everyday fixes anyone can try in front of a bathroom mirror.

Instead of chasing red-carpet contouring or heavy editorial looks, the channel leans on professional makeup artist technique and mainstream perception research to argue that subtle, well-blended makeup reads as more attractive than a heavy hand. The throughline across all ten tips is restraint paired with precision — matching shade correctly, building product in thin layers, and knowing when to stop.

  • The video frames its ten tips around avoiding a “caked” finish, pushing proper foundation shade-matching and thin-layer application over heavy coverage.
  • Specific guidance targets the eyes, lips, and complexion as the three focal points, including how to layer eye makeup to brighten the eyes rather than darken them.
  • The breakdown warns against harsh or dated lip and contour trends, favoring moderate, strategic product use over dramatic definition.

Foundation and Shade-Matching First

Before any eyeshadow or lip color enters the conversation, TheThings Celebrity’s list starts where every professional makeup artist starts: the base. Shade-matching gets singled out because a foundation that’s even slightly off — too pink, too yellow, too light against the neck — undoes every other technique layered on top of it. The video’s advice is to build coverage gradually rather than applying a single heavy layer, since thin layers blend into skin texture instead of sitting on top of it and reading as “cakey.”

That layering principle repeats throughout the video’s other techniques, which makes sense given how often beauty coverage on outlets like the Celebrity circuit highlights the same complaint about red-carpet looks that go too far. Less product applied more precisely consistently reads better on camera and in person than a thick single application.

Balancing Eyes, Lips, and Complexion

The video treats the face as a set of focal points that need to work together rather than compete. Eyes get treated as the primary feature to brighten, with the guidance centered on how eye makeup is layered — building lighter shades in the inner corner and along the brow bone to open up the eye rather than relying on dark shadow alone.

Lips and contour get the opposite treatment: moderation. The breakdown specifically warns against the kind of harsh, heavily defined contouring and overdrawn lip lines that have fallen out of favor, framing them as dated mistakes rather than techniques to master. The goal, according to the video’s own framing, is balancing facial symmetry so no single feature overwhelms the rest of the look.

Ten simple techniques, built on one idea: subtle beats heavy every time.

The Importance of DIY Framing

TheThings Celebrity positions every tip as something achievable without professional tools or a makeup artist on standby, which is the point of the “at home” framing in the title. That distinguishes the video from tutorials built around high-end editorial styling or prosthetic-level transformation content — the kind of heavily produced looks that circulate on entertainment coverage of red carpets and awards shows.

The channel’s broader video roster leans into this accessible, listicle-style format regularly, which tracks with how much of the current appetite for beauty content favors quick, replicable tips over aspirational, unattainable looks. It’s the same instinct driving a lot of the viral beauty content that circulates under trending entertainment coverage — short, practical, and built for someone standing in front of their own bathroom mirror rather than a studio vanity.

TheThings Celebrity doesn’t name a specific makeup artist or cite a single study by name in the video, but the list’s DNA is unmistakable: shade-match your base, layer instead of cake, brighten the eyes before you darken anything, and put the contour stick down before it starts working against you.
