Baking: How I Made My Concealer Last 12 Hours

I’m (very) late to the makeup baking bandwagon. But yesterday, I had a wedding to attend, and I needed my makeup to stay put all day long, especially my concealer. So I gave Rodial’s Baking Powder and The Baking Brush a whirl…

… and I was oh so pleasantly surprised! I brushed a good layer over my concealer and let it sit while I did the rest of my eye makeup, and then used the same brush to sweep the powder off and blend it in. I did my makeup at around noon, and it was fully intact when I removed it at 1:30 a.m., after crying three times (I’m an emotional wreck, especially at events like weddings), two intense downpours, and being in a humid environment for several hours of dancing and partying. I give this duo two thumbs up! And I will definitely be baking again for my next wedding.
