#setting powder

Let’s get one thing straight: setting is the preheat, baking is the full on glam roast. If you’re out here confusing the two, don’t worry I’m here to save your face (literally).

Step One: Blend. Those. Creases.

Before you set a single thing, grab your sponge, brush, finger whatever your weapon of choice is and blend out every single crease, especially under the eyes and on the lids. If you set creased concealer, you’re basically fossilizing your mistakes. No thank you.

Now, Set.

Press a light layer of powder into your highlighted zones: center of the forehead, under the eyes, eyelids, nose bridge, top of the lip, and chin. These are your spotlight zones treat them accordingly.

To keep your face looking balanced and warm, take a powder closer to your contour shade and set the outer areas of your face the jaw, hairline, cheek contours. Your highlight powder might have lightened things a little too much, so we’re just bringing the heat back.

Quick reminder: Setting ≠ Baking.

Setting is smoothing and sealing. It’s your base coat. Baking is where the real drama kicks in.

Let’s Bake.

Now that your face is smoothed out and set to perfection, it’s time to bake. Press powder onto the highlights of your face again especially under the eyes, sides of the nose, under the cheekbones. Want to look like you just stepped out of a sculptor’s studio? Use a deeper powder to bring back your contour if you notice it appears to be gone after you’ve brushed away that baking powder. Tip from celebrity makeup artist, Hrush Achemyan!

Timing, darling.

• Oily skin? Bake for 15–20 minutes.

• Dry skin? Keep it to 10.

Leave it on and let your body heat do the work. The powder melts in, locks down, and forms a barrier that keeps your glam untouched.

Pro tip:

Before you dust it all off, hit the cheeks with blush. It melts right into the bake and makes your face look like a soft-focus dream.

Yall I’m not the one to gate keep so let me put yall on to something if you’re not already hip to it. This right here, this all nighter long wear setting powder is the truth!!!!

Where I live, it is currently hotter than the devils toenails and I’m literally sweating in places that I didn’t know could even sweat 😂😂

But my makeup is still “flawless” none of it has dripped off, smeared off, or sweat off.!

Product gifted by Too Faced and Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely adored this product! The heart shaped packaging is just too cute. I love that it comes with a mirror and the fact that the compact is magnetized. If you’ve tried other Too Faced powder products, you likely know most of them come with a scent (like their eyeshadow palettes were ‘chocolate’ or ‘peach’ scented depending on the type you got). I’m happy to say that this one had no scent. I feel like this did a decent job at helping cut the oily shine my skin often gets with makeup wear. It held up well for 5+ hours in 80+ degree weather, which impressed me. The powder wasn’t overly heavy and it didn’t make my foundation or concealer under it feel or look cakey. Plus it did a good job at helping set the concealer on my under eye area. Definitely a lot of wins with this product.
