Cropping up all
over you tube, are tutorials on how to 'bake' or 'cook' your make-up. Although
this term has been used in drag for years, it came to be more well known when
Kim Kardashians make-up artist posted this trick over Instagram.
'Baking' your make-up consists of letting translucent powder sit on your face between 5 and 10 minutes. This allows the heat from your face to set the foundation and concealer. Once dusted off, it should leave you with a flawless, crease less finish.
To start, ensure your eye area is well hydrated. Applying eye cream around this area will hydrate and plump the skin, whilst minimising the appearance of any fine lines. I like to use the Palmers Cocoa Butter Smoothing Eye Cream.
Next apply a thick concealer under the eyes. Although concealer contains oils that have a tendency to crease, if set properly this will not happen. I use the Collection 2000 Concealer, applying it in a triangle shape under my eyes and blending.
Next dust on a layer of translucent powder. Try using a fluffy eyeshadow brush to pack this onto the area where we just put concealer. A particular favourite of mine is the Ben Nye Translucent Powder.
Next comes the 'baking'! Using a damp Real Techniques Beauty Sponge, dip into the translucent powder and dab generously over the area where you applied concealer. Leave the powder to set for around 5 to 10 minutes.
Finally dust off the excess powder with that same fluffy eyeshadow brush and boom you are baked! Leave a comment below and let me know how you found this technique.
Until next time beauties, have an amazing day and I'll see you in my next post,
