Conceal and correct
The only time in which you could “bake” your makeup, is after applying foundation and concealer. The best types of concealers are the creamy ones, as they tend to blend better with the skin. Use your ring finger or incorporate a beauty blender to your routine for a flawless look.
Bake your face
There are women who ―after applying the white powder and allowing for it to sit for several minutes― continue with their eye makeup. The recommended time for baking is not less than 5 minutes. Therefore, don’t worry about taking a bit of time with your eyebrows.
Don't forget to blend!
Blend away any excess powder! Immediately, you will notice how smooth and brighter your under eyes and other baked areas look. If most of your brushes are thin, try using a fluffy blush brush for this look. Dust the powder outwards for best results. Do not use a beauty blender for this part!
