We all know that 'baking' is one of the most popular makeup techniques out there.
The term comes from the drag community (and they know their makeup) and means you let translucent powder sit on top of your foundation for at least five minutes, allowing the heat from your face to set your base flawlessly.
However, if you don't have time to sit and wait for the process to work, beauty YouTuber Miriam Marroquin has a tip for you. Corn starch, or cornflour as it is known on these shores, is apparently the best way to cheat your way to that beautiful matte finish.
You apply thick coats of the powder to set your undereye concealer and highlight your cheekbones.
Then as Miriam demonstrates in the video below, you dust it off quickly before setting your face with the stuff.
The baking ingredient is actually in a lot of high-end powders, including Laura Mercier, as she says in the video.
Handy stuff.
