It’s been a while since Paul Unating’s "angelic" makeup look went viral on Tiktok. Still, the trend keeps making rounds across people’s "for you" pages, even reaching international audiences.
Naturally, we love everything about the angelic makeup look, but let's address the elephant in the room: There’s this misconception that the trend only works on lighter skin.

On Tiktok, you’ll find plenty of people with different skin tones trying to recreate Paul's iconic makeup look, and they're proof of just how versatile the "angelic" makeup can be.
If you want to know the best way to achieve the look, especially on morena skin, Preview reached out to Paul for his expert tips. Read on to know more!
Preview Exclusive: Paul Unating's Tips for Morenas to Achieve the "Angelic Makeup Look"
1. Find the perfect sheer foundation.
First and foremost, “make sure to find the perfect sheer foundation that matches your skin tone,” said Paul. As we all know, the angelic makeup look is all about keeping things very fresh. You want your base to look flawless but still skin-like. And to achieve that, he emphasizes the importance of using a sheer foundation. We recommend using Fenty Beauty’s Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint Foundation, which has a total of 25 inclusive shades and buildable light to medium longwear coverage.

2. Don't over powder your face.
A natural-looking glow is key to Paul’s look. Avoid powdering your face too much so you can still retain that dewy look. He advises putting powder on the T-zone area only.
3. Find the perfect pink shade of blush and eyeshadow that complements your skin tone.
Paul has previously shared with us his go-to blush shades for the angelic makeup look, where he revealed that he uses the cream blushes from his makeup brand Peauty Beauty, specifically Calltime for his morena clients.

4. Avoid using too much highlighter.
“Lastly, don’t use too much highlighter, especially if you have skin texture. Make it [as] matte as possible,” he said. Paul mainly likes to focus the highlight at the tips of the nose, inner corners of the eyes, and the cupid’s bow.
