Ten steps stand between a bare face and that camera-ready, hyper-sculpted Instagram look everyone keeps trying to copy.

TheThings Celebrity dropped a straightforward tutorial breaking down exactly how influencers and stars get that flawless, editorial-looking finish that dominates Instagram feeds. The video, titled “10 Tips For The PERFECT Instagram Makeup,” walks through a full routine from bare skin to blush, treating each step as a building block rather than a random trick. It’s part of the channel’s ongoing run of beauty listicles aimed at viewers who want the high-glamour look without a professional artist standing behind them.

• The routine opens with skin prep and primer, framed as the two steps that determine whether the rest of the makeup blends smoothly or breaks down under lighting.
• Concealer, brow shaping, contour, and highlight are presented as the core sculpting steps that give the face definition on camera.
• The tutorial closes on setting powder, pitched specifically as the step that stops smudging, creasing, and melting through a full day of wear.

Prioritizing Skin Preparation Before Makeup

Before any product touches the face, the video insists on a clean, properly moisturized canvas. Skipping that step, it argues, is why foundation ends up patchy or flakes off mid-scroll session. A hydrated base lets everything applied afterward sit evenly rather than clinging to dry patches.

From there, primer gets its own dedicated step rather than getting folded into foundation talk. The tutorial credits primer with blurring texture, filling in pores and fine lines, and stretching the wear time of the whole look — which matters most under the harsh, flat lighting phones tend to use for selfies.

Building The Base: Foundation And Concealer

Foundation selection gets treated as a matching exercise first — liquid, powder, or tinted moisturizer depending on skin type, with shade accuracy prioritized over coverage level. Concealer follows as its own distinct step, applied with a brush in a patting motion under the eyes and over blemishes, then blended out with fingers so it doesn’t sit cakey on camera.

You want it to look natural and effortless.

That line, aimed at brow application, actually sums up the whole philosophy behind the tutorial: full coverage and sharp definition, but styled so it reads as barely-there rather than heavy-handed once it hits a photo.

Sculpting The Face: Contour, Highlight, And Brows

Brows get framed as the structural piece that anchors the rest of the face, filled in with a pencil or powder matched to hair color and shaped into a defined arch without going overboard. Contour and highlight are treated as the pair that actually creates the “Instagram” effect people chase — matte bronzer under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and down the sides of the nose, followed by shimmer on the cheekbone tops, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow to catch light exactly where a phone camera would pick it up.

The video keeps this section closest to the aesthetic that’s made its way through beauty influencer culture and into mainstream celebrity glam — the kind of chiseled, high-definition finish that’s become a talking point wherever side-by-side comparisons of a star’s look circulate online.

Eyes, Lips, And Locking It In

Eye makeup gets pitched as the trickiest part of the whole routine — neutral tones for a subtle finish, or metallic shadow if the goal is more drama, but always cohesive rather than scattered. Lips follow with lip liner to define the shape before filling in, whether that’s a bold red, pink, or coral statement or a nude and mauve tone for something quieter. Blush gets slotted in near the end specifically to add color back into the face after contour, keeping the whole look from reading flat or gray in photos.

The final step is setting powder, applied to prevent smudging, creasing, and melting — the three things that wreck a look before the day is even half over. It’s the step the tutorial treats as non-negotiable if the goal is a finish that survives past the first selfie.

Ten steps, one routine, and the same basic idea running through all of it: build the base right, sculpt with contour and highlight, then lock it down with powder so it actually survives long enough to get posted. That’s the whole pitch, and it’s exactly the kind of practical, repeatable breakdown that’s kept TheThings Celebrity’s beauty listicles — the same run that’s covered everyday makeup hacks and celebrity routines — in regular rotation for viewers trying to reverse-engineer the look rather than just admire it.
