You spend enough hours on YouTube watching beauty vlogs and you start to learn a thing or two. (We’re not obsessed…we swear, it’s all in the name of research.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, there’s a massive highlighting\/contouring trend happening right now. And two, this trend relies heavily on concealing. And any beauty fiend worth her epsom salt knows that concealing can be tough on the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delicate area under the eye is often the darkest on the face and, unless you’re still a teenager, fine lines and wrinkles are additional factors to combat. So how are beauty gurus lightening, brightening<\/a> and smoothing with concealer? It’s not internet magic. It’s a trendy makeup technique known as baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The makeup baking technique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, why is it called baking? Well, there are some makeup layers and setting time, aka cook time, involved. This secret \u2014 like many of the other Instagram-famous trends \u2014 looks a little silly at first. But if you can get past the powdered patches and wait time in between steps, you could be looking at a flawless camouflage job that really helps the face pop in photos and IRL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking, step by step<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Use your moisturizer, eye creams and primer as normal.<\/li>
  2. Apply your concealer in one layer or several, to your liking. Try under the eye, and a bit on your forehead, cupid’s bow and\/or chin. Smooth it out to velvety perfection with your choice of a beauty blender, brush or just your fingers.<\/li>
  3. Press out all of your fine lines and wrinkles. Make sure you’re pleased with the results, because the next step seals the deal.<\/li>
  4. Pack on the powder. Grab a fluffy brush and your favorite setting powder and cover up all your concealed areas. This is the one cosmetic technique where a heavy hand is best–it’s all about a thick coating of fine, loose powder.<\/li>
  5. Let it sit anywhere between 10-30 minutes.<\/li>
  6. Lightly flick away the remaining powder that hasn’t settled into the concealer.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Normally the heavy layer(s) of concealer put you at risk of looking caked and creased in short order. But that layer of powder gives you a smooth, plump polish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
