What do you need

1 Apply liquid foundation. If you are using an all-purpose liquid foundation for your makeup, apply it before baking. Do not use a powder foundation. Baking will help fix only liquid products on your face. Use a liquid foundation to even out skin tone and create an even foundation.

2 Moisturize the under eye area. Use a moisturizer or eye serum; these products can be purchased at a beauty supply store or pharmacy. They will help you moisturize the delicate skin under the eyes and prepare it for makeup. If you are struggling with dark circles or bags under your eyes, a good product will brighten and freshen your eyes.

Applying a cream or serum to the eye area will also help to firm up the skin and smooth out lines and wrinkles that can ruin your makeup or make it look unnatural.
Using the patches of your fingertips, gently apply the cream to the area under the eyes and wait a couple of minutes for it to be absorbed.

3 Apply concealer to the under eye area. Once the eye cream is completely absorbed, you can start applying makeup. To bake your makeup, it is very convenient to use a dense concealer with high concealing properties. If you already have a favorite concealer, use it. Using your fingers or a concealer brush, start dabbing under the eyes.

Instead of applying concealer all over the under eye area, step back a couple of centimeters from the edge of your lower eyelid.
Apply concealer under the eyes, along the cheekbones, and up to the temples.

4 Blend the concealer. First, dampen your makeup sponge or beauty blender. Then, blend the concealer with a quick, patting motion. Blend the concealer from the bottom up to the eye area. Applying concealer in this manner will allow for a lighter and more natural coverage in the area just under the eyes.

You can buy a beauty blender online or at a beauty store. Only replicas and copies of this makeup sponge can be found in supermarkets in the cosmetics department.

5 Repeat one more time with a second layer of concealer. The second layer will help set the first layer of concealer and provide good coverage throughout the day. The second coat does not need to be applied very tightly. Gently apply it with a concealer brush or fingers and back off a small distance under the eye again. Take a damp makeup sponge and blend the concealer again.

6 Apply concealer to any other areas of your face. While the under-eye area is usually the focal point for baking, concealer can and should be applied to other areas where a bright, flawless finish is desired. Apply concealer to your chin, center of your forehead, bridge of your nose and under your cheeks.

These areas are usually highlighted and you can add volume to your face by baking them.

1 Apply a sheer finishing powder. Translucent powders are colorless and are used to set makeup. They even out the makeup and keep it stable throughout the day or evening. You can find sheer powder at a makeup store.
- Using a blending brush, apply sheer powder to the areas where you previously applied concealer. Use as little powder as possible: just enough to set the makeup.
2 Apply loose powder generously. This stage is "baking", although applying concealer is also important. You can use a blending brush, wet beauty blender, or a clean makeup sponge. Spray a small amount of makeup setting spray on your chosen makeup tool.
- Dip your brush or sponge into the translucent powder you used previously. Apply it in a thick layer under the eyes, as well as on other areas of the face where you applied the concealer.
- Apply very generously the sheer under-eye powder, and like concealer, apply to the chin, under the cheeks, bridge of the nose and forehead.
- Continue dipping the brush into the powder to apply enough product over the concealer.
3 Let the finishing powder take hold. After applying the sheer powder, you will look funny. Don't worry, this is just part of the baking process. When baking, the coating should look dense and clown bright. The sheer powder will force the warmth of your face to set the liquid foundation and concealer in place, so wait 5-10 minutes.

Our expert agrees: “The longer the powder is on the face, the better it will stick and the tighter the barrier it will create. Then remove the excess with a fluffy brush. "

Part 3 of 3: Finishing the look

1 Dip your brush into your favorite foundation. You can use the blending brush with which you applied the translucent powder. In a circular motion, brush up the powder and shake off excess. Don't worry, you don't need as much of this powder as you do with clear powder.
2 Brush off the sheer powder. Using light, gentle strokes, brush off the translucent powder with the accumulated cream powder. Do this in all areas where you have used the baking technique: under the eyes, on the chin, under the cheekbones, and on the forehead. You will brush away the translucent powder you used for the baking, and the cream powder from the brush will add extra coverage to your face.
- After removing excess translucent powder, the skin will be smooth and even.
3 Feather any harsh transitions. Once you've removed any excess translucent powder, check to make sure there are no harsh, artificial transitions on your face. If you find it, use a blending brush and some cream powder. Use light strokes to gently blend any irregularities, being careful not to brush other makeup off your face.
