Many of us already know about the obsession of contouring but not many know about the process of baking. The baking process isn't exactly new. Makeup artists have been using this technique for years to get that perfect highlight and finish on a clients face.
Baking is an incredible way to set makeup and give your skin a creaseless, beautiful finish that can last all day. Ever since I tried this technique, there has not been one day where I do not do it. I have found that my skin is left with such an airbrushed look that lasts literally all day.
What you're gonna want to do is gather up your favorite foundation, concealer, and either banana or translucent powder. First, prime your face and apply your foundation as you normally do. There is no special way to do this. I use the Revlon Color Stay Foundation, it's my holy grail.
After that, you will take your concealer and apply it to the under eyes, forehead and chin. Most people will usually use a concealer that is either one or a few shades lighter than their foundation to give a highlighted look to the areas applied. The concealer I use is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in the shade fair.
Once you have done this, you will take a tool (I used a cosmetic sponge. You may use whatever you like) and tap the powder onto the areas where you applied concealer. I use a generous amount of powder but you can use however much will work for you. I use the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder to achieve my looks.
You are going to want to let the powder sit for about 10 minutes. What I do to hurry up the process is do my eyebrows and sometimes depending on the amount of time I have, I will do my eye makeup as well while I wait. After the time is up, you will then want to take a brush and lightly sweep off the excess powder and see the transformation. Your skin will look phenomenal! A poreless, matte finish that everyone will awe over!
