Ready, Set, Bake! Your Guide to 'Baking' Your Makeup

There are many ways to use the baking method, though it's an especially popular trick for setting undereye concealer — it'll help your coverage stay in place all day and also helps prevent creasing. 

Before applying your concealer, make sure to hydrate the area using an eye cream. This will help prep your skin (while also helping to blur any fine lines). Next, apply your concealer as usual and let it set for a few minutes before blending it out. You can also add another layer for a full coverage.

Now for the baking: Using a wedge sponge, dip it into your favorite setting powder and apply it generously to your undereye area. Let the powder sit for a good five minutes, then dust it off with a blending brush. And that's it — consider yourself baked!
