It’s been a while hasn’t it? But, I’m back!
I bit the bullet after years of wanting to try the Ben NYE
Banana Powder, and recently purchased the Huda
Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder from Selfridges (see a full list of
online/retailers at the end of the blog post) in the shade ‘Blondie’...
What is Baking?
So for those who don’t know what ‘Baking’ is when it comes
to makeup terminology, baking is actually a term that’s been used in the drag
community for years. It’s a technique of
applying powder to ‘sit’ on your face for five to 10 minutes. This allows the
heat from your face to set your foundation/concealer properly before dusting it
off your face, leaving you with a flawless and crease-less finish. Think of it as oil control…
Which Shade?
I got the shade ‘Blondie’
which is suitable for light, medium and tan skin tones. So you’re probably
thinking wait isn’t this just for
everyone? Yes it is however for
people with yellow/golden undertones this particular shade will brighten your
skin. Whilst those with pink undertones, it will help disguise dark under eyes.
If you’re unsure, I’d advise to go for Sugar
Cookie which is translucent but I personally prefer coloured ‘baking’
powder.
Was it Worth It?
Hell yes. My makeup lasted from 3pm – 4.30am (it was a late
night) and it almost hurt to remove my makeup at the end of the night because
my skin was flawless! It’s great for selfies too…oh yes.
Pros & Cons?
- Pros: Great coverage, flawless finish, little product goes a long way & easy to use.
- Cons: It can get a little messy… but then again doesn’t all loose powder?!
