Read on to find out how to bake makeup for every day.

The magic behind this? Charlotte’s Genius Magic Powder. This revolutionary, light-diffusing loose powder has ingredients to help blur imperfections, visibly reduce the appearance of dark shadows and boost radiance. If you want mattified, smoother-looking skin, then this loose powder is perfect for you.

WHAT IS BAKING?

You have probably seen the baking makeup trend on social media, with a surge of popularity in the last few years. Baking your makeup is the process of applying concealer and loose powder under your eyes for a crease-free, flawless-looking finish. Traditional baking uses a damp sponge to allow the loose powder to sit under your eyes for 5-10 minutes to blend with your foundation and concealer. For every day glam, you can follow our step by step guide for an adapted version of baking that should leave your under-eyes crease-free and brightened, without being too heavy!
