This Make-Up Trick Proves We’re Missing Out On An Important Step

Last week clown contouring was the hottest topic in the beauty industry and now it’s all about “baking” your make-up. It’s a trick used in the drag community for years and aims to give you long-lasting make-up. If you’re prone to shine and seeing your make-up completely disappear halfway through the day, then you might be missing out on this key step. Baking, or ‘cooking’ your make-up, basically means that you allow translucent powder to sit on your face for ten minutes. Kim K and her make-up team are fans of the technique The heat from your skin gives your concealer and foundation the opportunity to melt into your skin. While this sounds a little mad, the result (according to beauty pros) is a flawless face, minus open pores. ‘Baking’ is a trend favoured by Kim K’s make-up guru Mario Dedivanovic so if you’re a fan of her style, this is one trick you’ll want to perfect. Make-up artist Heidi Hamoud explains “baking” in the below tutorial and now, we’re off to practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EgD31_XcSE Video via YouTube: Heidi Hamoud
