How to bake your face like a pro

A face glam up is one way of boosting my mood and confidence especially when going to an event with a lot of people.

Sometimes I try this feel-good trick when that there is a new beaty trick that I have discovered just to make sure I learn to master it.

This technique is set to originate from the drag community. Its process involves applying a thick layer of powder to the face and leaving it for about 5 minutes. During this time the warmth of the face should set the base makeup.

For those who interested to learn how to bake like a pro, here’s a few tips.

Before starting you are going to need the following, adds beauty mirror specialist, HollywoodMirrors:

  • A concealer
  • An eye cream
  • A powder brush
  • A powder puff or makeup sponge
  • A foundation
  • A loose setting powder
  • A setting spray

The first step to prepare your skin by applying products that will hydrate your skin, including a “generous amount” of eye cream, shared Hollywood Mirrors.

  • Apply foundation all over your face avoiding the eye area adds the above-mentioned information hub.
  • Apply the lighter concealer underneath the eyes as a highlighter. “To get the best coverage, allow your concealer to sit on your skin for a minute before blending out with the same damp makeup sponge,” adds the aforementioned hub.
  • Follow up by applying a dusting of powder with a setting brush, make sure to wait until it sets and then dust it off, shares make up and beauty product company RevlonUS. “Once the baking powder is dusted off, dampen your sponge, with the fixing spray to keep your baking powder makeup locked in all day,” adds the hub.
  • The loose press powder should be left for a perfect setting.
  • Once done you can dust off the powder in circular motions using a makeup brush.

Beauty house Huda adds, “you can even bake the corners of your nose to prevent your makeup from moving around, as this is somewhere that tends to get oil buildup if you have combo or oily skin.”
