Hello!

So recently in the internet-sphere, I've been seeing this idea of baking your face with talcum powder. At first, I thought it was a bit weird, but then I decided that I should give it a go. I am quite pale, and even some translucent loose powders still come up on me, which sucks. I started baking with loose white eyeshadow, but I can only find it in small pots so I barely get that many uses from the pot when baking my whole face.
I used Nivea talc rather than Johnson's because when I was a baby, I was allergic to Johnson's, and I know skin changes but I don't wanna risk it. Plus this was like, 99p from Bodycare and it's quite a big tub! I was very impressed with the result, so here's what I did :)


I took my face sponge from elf as this is what I normally bake with. I'm thinking of getting the Real Techniques setting brush but I don't know???



Then I took the talcum powder, and I put it in the little lid thing that came with my Collection loose powder just so I didn't make a mess trying to get it straight onto the sponge.


Then I made myself look like a cray-zay person and put the powder where I normally bake my face. I then left it on while I did my eyebrows, and swept it off with my Real Techniques buffing brush.


And I was so impressed with the result! I didn't notice much of a white colour from the powder which I was unsure about when I first decided to try this, so that was a bonus. I feel that my skin looks very smooth and even, which is exactly what I wanted. However, this is messy! The talc came off as it was baking and went everywhere, but that generally happens to me anyway when using loose translucent powder. Overall, I love this, I especially think that it's great for pale people and I will probably be doing this all the time now.


Thank you for reading!
