The Baking Renaissance: Setting Powder Hacks You Wanna Know!

via Giphy

Full glam has officially re-entered the chat, and with it, a baking renaissance we’ve been seeing all over TikTok for the last nine months. Before you crack out your cake tins, we’re referring to setting your makeup with loose powder – a makeup hack started by the drag community and possibly one of our fave makeup techniques. Setting powder not only guarantees your makeup lasts from morning to night, but it can also help snatch, sculpt, and leave your skin looking filtered AF.

Of course, over the years, makeup lovers have formulated their own techniques using loose powder, and some of them need to be shared. To get you back on the baking bandwagon, we’ve lined up ten setting powder and baking hacks we know you’ll LOVE.

We couldn’t mention baking without discussing our fave products to perfect the technique and all the hacks that come along with it. The powder of our dreams has to be our cult-fave Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder, $35; the finely-milled, silky powder applies like a dream and snatches like no other. It’s also available in nine shades with various undertones so you can find the perfect shade match. Another essential when it comes to baking is concealer, as this provides something for the powder to grip onto. Our #FauxFilter Luminous Matte Buildable Coverage Crease Proof Concealer, $35, is ahhhmazing as the medium to full coverage formula is lightweight, blendable, buildable, and, most importantly, doesn’t crease.

For application tools, we love to use a damp makeup sponge, like the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, $7, or a powder puff, like the beautyblender Power Pocket Puff, $15.
