Setting and baking with powder helps create a flawless, long-lasting makeup look. Here's how you do it:
-
Apply Foundation and Concealer: Start by applying your foundation and concealer as usual. This creates a smooth base for the powder. For a modern-matte finish, consider using a foundation like Power Play Foundation.
-
Layer Powder: Using a powder brush or a damp makeup sponge, apply a thick layer of setting powder to the areas you want to brighten. Popular baking spots include:
- Under the eyes
- Center of the forehead
- Bridge of the nose
- Chin
- Along the jawline
-
Let it "Bake": Allow the powder to sit on your skin for 2-3 minutes. The heat from your face helps the powder absorb the foundation and concealer, setting them for longer wear and creating a brighter effect. This process is called "baking."
-
Dust Away Excess: After the baking time, use a fluffy powder brush to gently dust away the excess powder. Be sure to blend well to avoid any harsh lines or patches.
By following these steps, you can effectively use setting and baking powder to achieve a long-lasting, flawless makeup look with brighter, more defined features.
