Baking (make-up)

Baking in make-up is when you put a LOT of powder on your face, and leave it there for a little while, usually around 5-10 minutes. The powder helps to set your make-up and make sure it stays in place for longer. When you "bake" your make-up, it's like you're cooking it, just like when your mommy or daddy bake cookies or cake in the oven. After a few minutes, you use a brush or a sponge to dust off the powder, and it reveals a smooth, flawless finish on your face. It's like magic! Baking may help make-up last longer, absorb oil and sweat, and prevent creasing or smudging. However, it's important to use the right amount of powder, so that you don't end up looking like you have too much on. It's also important to remember to take care of your skin by washing your face and removing make-up properly at the end of the day.
