Ditch This Makeup Habit If You Want to Look Younger

Learning how to properly do makeup is a process, especially because there are no universal rules that apply to all of us. Some things may look great on others but when you try them, you realize that you’re better off without them.

Today, we wanted to talk about one makeup habit many girls picked up but that might actually work against them.

According to Sir John, Beyonce’s favorite makeup artist, baking your face will do nothing good for you.

Baking is a technique in which you apply pressed or loose powder under your eyes, over concealer. It’s popular around Instagram so girls have been copying it for their everyday look.

In reality, baking will easily add 10-15 years to your face because it emphasizes fine lines that you probably don’t want the world to see.

If you absolutely must set your concealer to prevent it from disappearing throughout the day, choose lightweight loose powder and be gentle when applying it. Pressed powder is rarely good outside of Instagram and professional lighting.
