Baking your EYESHADOW!?😳Would you try this?? vc: Ask Ellen Beauty #makeup #beauty #baking #shorts

[@ericatucker2683]

I mean you can just blend the edges of your eyeshadow with setting powder lol

[@lipsticktiffany4602]

Right?!?! Lol. RoseandBen uses a little powder to blend. Beautiful!! This is too much!

[@courtneyscheetz9181]

Lol exactly. I do that if it's a little patchy or too dark 😊

[@michellemercado9038]

That's exactly what I do when some shadows don't blend too well on their own, and it helps so much.

[@Zzz2x]

The color will change only the edges

[@Zzz2x]

@@michellemercado9038I’ve done it to correct that too before lol

[@88_l]

What’s the point of doing the mascara first just to do it again…

[@emilyrishel341]

I've heard of a trick where you use translucent powder on your lashes in between coats of mascara to thicken them. Maybe the idea is that you add another coat of mascara and get a 2-for-1 hack 🤷‍♀️

[@allthingsaremadenew236]

Yes, I agree 😂

[@allthingsaremadenew236]

@emilyrishel341 I get the concept, but it doesn't look super clean in my opinion :D BUT some people probably like the look so this is just MY opinion! :)

[@makeuplover6852]

Rose Simard tried a technique where you powder the lashes first then mascara, powder and mascara again, she says you get a very vavooom look and it stays put !!

[@carriethompson84]

I've heard her say that she likes the chunky mascara look so that's why she said, "oooh dangerous.." It wasn't gonna affect her anyway 😂😂😂

[@aruzb]

The reason why they did it in old Hollywood was because eyeshadows then were creme products. They would go all in with creme and then powdered products.

[@pennylanewildflower4471]

This!!!!

[@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts]

Ikr!! These people are idiots 😬💀💀

[@xSapphiirexx]

Exactly. Baking powder shadow with more powder? LOL

[@michellec6336]

When I worked at Estee Lauder 20 some years ago, my customers would be so nervous about the new eyeshadow I put on them. "Trust the process" was basically "wait for the magic", "trust me, you'll love it", or "look at my eyeshadow, I'm doing yours the same way". I would finish with face powder over the whole eye lid, like its own layer of eyeshadow, but not a heavy bake and it melted it all together. Afterwards is when we did liner and mascara because we wanted the high impact of those pigments and not the diffusion of the lid. Once done, every client bought eyeshadow, powder, or both. I really enjoyed that job and learned so much.

[@jennifereaves4525]

This is so interesting, thank you for sharing

[@X3AmySarah]

I worked for them in 2013-2014, then went to Ulta but nothing will ever compare to Estée Lauder! I learned so much there.. and the people were so much nicer 😅

[@michellec6336]

@X3AmySarah I totally agree! They started teaching me right away. I thought I knew everything about makeup and was so happy to learn new techniques. Some of the things we were taught I haven't seen today's makeup artists or popular creaters share. Although today's people now do things, we didn't in my time, like primer and setting spray. LOL I guess we all have things we can learn from each other. 😊

I’d definitely wait on mascara

[@melissabean9747]

They baked eyeshadow bc they were mostly cream products. The products we use now are so much more elevated. We can easily get our hands on formulas that are top notch. I would only try this if my eyeshadow look came out patchy. But I don't remember the last time I had that problem.

[@skyeh4244]

Sounds like a nightmare if you wear contacts… I feel like the powder would inevitably get in your eyes.

[@lmgam]

🙋🏻‍♀️yes exactly!

[@SMKNGRL420]

I came for this comment it's all fun till it's in ya eyes 😂😂😂

[@krisdiane]

I do powder over my eyeshadow, but not nearly this much. Just a little on a fluffy brush. No issue with my contacts. ❤

[@Puppylove82-gv3gm]

I always put my contacts in last. 😂

[@suzannetaylor6450]

First one looks best. Skip the powder

[@JustTrying2Exist]

Ngl the white halo effect of it with the blended dark shadow/liner is giving 1980s glam rock babe and I mean that as the highest of compliments

[@beautyblissbarbie5324]

We didn’t do this in the 80’s. We just piled it on and didn’t know what blending meant. 😂🤣

[@DiNaDiRo]

Eyeshadow is a powder that sets the base. If it's creasing, you probably have too much base or you didn't put enough eyeshadow to set, especially if the base is oily. This is not needed unless you're using a cream shadow and I would use a clear setting powder followed by a setting spray to bring back the pigment.

[@carolyntalbot947]

Smart.

[@meganburbage1232]

I bake my eyeshadow primer

[@ericatucker2683]

That makes sense to me. Primer helps keep oils from breaking through setting it on top helps blend the shadows. I've been doing that for a while too

[@theresathinks9561]

Since I started using primer I'm amazed at how well Shadow stays on, I do like how it looks more blended

[@melt2947]

I'm looking for an eyeshadow primer can you please recommend one?

[@meganburbage1232]

@@melt2947 I tend to use a thin one so it doesn't become cakey when it is baked. I've used primer potion by urban decay and also the one from essence and they both work very well. Avoid thick primers like MAC paint pot or silicone heavy primers.

[@ReallyMimi]

Nahhh I barely use powder anymore. I like the more dewy look.

[@natalieurzi3906]

Same

[@Robert-tt8tx]

Well, based on your profile pic you are of a certain age where you’re probably always DRY so yeah it makes sense. You wanna look nice young and moisturized 😂

[@Beaneabean]

@@Robert-tt8txew….its always a man saying this sh**

[@rebeckahb623]

Same. I apply a thin layer of powder to matte my skincare and give the makeup something to stick to and that's it. My foundation goes right over that and I don't use any powder after. It looks like my skin that way, only better.

[@patheticallyy]

​@Robert-tt8tx dude wtf?? You really typed that out and thought: "Yeah this a totally appropriate and necessary thing to say to a woman!"

[@chikki_chik]

😬I wouldn’t take makeup advice from Ellen, sorry, but that metallic pink on her eyelids looked scary.

[@Morgaine]

We didn't call it baking, but I always covered the whole face with powder. It works really nicely if you use an old model's trick of separating the 2 ply of a tissue and put one over your face, then gently pounce on your powder. The tissue layer gives you a light layer of powder that's easily blended. We covered the whole face - we didn't have primers or setting sprays, which really aren't necessary if you layer the makeup correctly.

[@AutumnElaine]

I would never do this to muck up my mascara 😣

[@Kas4926]

That’s why I always get compliments on my makeup. I always do this. My grandmother taught me how to do my eyeshadow like that.

[@RogerLivesyfan]

All that powder does not make an environment for dewy moist skin….

[@breezybest6064]

Her skin looked pretty fresh afterwards still though.

[@RogerLivesyfan]

Erin takes care of herself, if one doesn’t that powder will catch up..

[@jos-1994]

That's a beauty trick I learned from makeup artists in my beauty career. The key is to not have a dried out finish. Erin, you used the right techniques. Looks good 👌🏽

[@The_Sensible_Llama]

Yikes AKA how to get powder directly in your retinas & clumpy mascara from sandwiching powder between 2 coats. Eye cream, a smoothing primer, & less product on the lid is the way to go I think instead of doing biscuit eyelids 😅

[@nikkip.Christ-is-King]

I've been trying to come up with fading makeup looks. It comes off through the day but as it comes off you get a whole new look. I did a simple pink that faded into rose gold the other day. I was so happy that it worked but I messed up and put setting spray on so the fade happened at 11 at night. Next time I'll do it right. I guess though if you get off work and go party you don't have to redo your makeup. Midnight on Friday was when I got started partying when I was younger. It would've been perfect for that. I wanted a quicker fade though.

[@linda6987]

Both look good on you. 💕💖💕

[@luciaayaso2260]

Your eyes are To DIE for! ❤ And that eyeshadow definitely gives your eyes that come and get me baby. Watch out!! 😂

[@andreakroger4437]

I don't like this one! It didn't look good afterward. But I used to put powder on the eyeshadow primer and that helped smooth out the lid

[@favoredroyalty]

My mother use to do this. She put so much on then she would just blend away. Most gorgeous makeup i ever seen but ive never been able to do it.

[@Genevieve-ni5el]

No, just use a flesh tone powder to blend it out and fix any patchiness or harsh lines😂

[@shannons426]

Yep. Been doing this for 25 years. You look lovely as usual!

[@Asialee-wy1jb]

[@remotelyanonymous]

The powder makes your eyeshadow look perfectly blended. Like the transition from one color to the next, looks smooth. Were as the colors on the other eye, look a little separated.

[@ashleymansfield-powell3884]

Been baking since before it was a thing 😊😉 I noticed it worked out so much better

[@heathermcfarland6317]

Don’t do it. Just blend better. This will add extra time to your makeup routine that isn’t necessary

[@DocBelle2]

I have such dry skin. I can barely use powder.

[@src3360]

My very southern gramma Elaine baked her ENTIRE face, eyes included with air spun powder. She would even do her lips and apply 1 last layer of lipstick to make it glossy. On sundays she did that face at 7am went to church, sung in the choir, came home and cooked and it didnt smudge. It looked better later in the day from all the steam she got while cooking and boiling food lol Then she used an Avon cold cream to take it all off at night ❤❤❤ I miss her sweet face!

[@tlr71]

Love this!

[@lauriewittges9021]

I used to do this in the 80's when I modeled. The only thing I do different is to do mascara LAST. The powder makes your lashes longer and thincker- also less likely to smudge.

[@sarahcha7119]

I’ve never had to do this but then again my eyelids are just covered in black eyeliner and the shadow is on my brow bone lol

[@lauramartinez7057]

I wouldn’t want to dry out my skin, especially around my eyes. I keep that area as moist as possible at all times. You want to keep your natural oils as long as possible.

[@MrTinasheena]

Try putting a clear powder on before your eyeshadow, Put on your primer put on the nude, I shadow. And then build the ice shadow. Look, you went on top of it. I've been known every year and my eye shadow doesn't go anywhere.

[@angiereyes3240]

Wow this is perfect when your eyeshadow is to dark and you want to lighten up a little ❤❤❤

[@Nonabear_10]

My powder eyeshadow doesn't crease, and I don't have expensive pallettes. You would only really need this on cream products. Powder on powder isn't going to do anything but diffuse, and you don't need to bake it for that. Just blend it with light loose powder if you want it diffused. (Also, don't do that over eyeliner and mascara unless you want to use multiple coats just to reapply)

[@angiereyes3240]

I'm trying this can't wait ❤❤

[@sheristewart3940]

😂 Mazel tov, baby! You're half baked 😂

[@theheathen9415]

I think it just looks like end of day eye shadow when half of it has disappeared

[@theheathen9415]

PS setting spray on them and keeping them closed until dries and then adding just a smidge more on top makes it lasts a million times longer it won’t fade by end of the day at all usually.

[@PassiveIncomeisLife]

I will try this 🎉😊

[@tamarcaceres2290]

Love it 😊

[@travis7611]

Try a lipstain as eyeshadow!!!! It DOES NOT move!!!

[@BubbaLeChiken]

this is cute but you can just use the skin tones shades or a white powder to defuse the edges because the result may very based on the products used and the persons skin. with that being said ill give it a try soon

I heard from various makeup artists to do your eyes first due to the fallout. This looks worth trying. The softer end result looks amazing!!

[@joycarey]

Nope... 😬tired of seeing crazy makeup application trends that add more time to one's makeup routine. Not only that, it makes you reapply steps that are not necessary in the first place. Back in the day, when I became a makeup artist, we never used the word bake, we said, "Set our makeup. I've been a makeup artist for 30 years, and a lot of trends are silly, in my opinion. Makeup can be fun and look beautiful, but it shouldn't be adding tons of heavy layers looking caked on, causing you to repeat your makeup application. Stop the madness, lol!!😊

[@naomitims4521]

I really like it and am definitely going to try it

[@madisonsale5335]

LMAO I guess I've been doing this for years (but with a base eyeshadow) when my eyeshadow comes out too intense bc I'm shit at blending

I’ve been doing this since 1996. When I first got the ok to wear makeup. The artist at the mac counter to always put a vanilla shade all over the lid. It will last all day and the next. The day after all night of partying I’d still have my eye makeup on.

I also think Ellen used a slower pressing motion…that might help with the finished product. But as someone with the greasiest eyelids known to man, I’m certainly happy to try this lol

[@lauranixon20]

I usually do kind of bake my eyelids but not that much, just a wash of setting powder over the top works

[@kimberlylangston4595]

I’m totally trying asap

[@SavedByJesus-pi3yu]

I think a light dusting bake would be really good but not as much as she did where she literally packed it all over the eye to the point it’s going into the eyeball and caked onto the lashes and definitely save the mascara and eyeliner for last.

[@paranormcreepofficial1453]

Yeahhhh no, the eyeshadow looks great don’t get me wrong, but that’s what eye primers are for. My #1 suggestion is the elf eye putty primer/shadows, work amazing on even the most oily eyelids and last 24hr.

[@shaunaphelan5950]

Oh and eyeliner ty

[@brandyegoudos80]

Not sure I would trust baking on my eyeshadow?? 🤔🤔🤔 Hmm wouldn't it take more away from the look?? I guess I will try it if it dont work I can always darken it

[@Crowski]

I don’t wear makeup but it’s so satisfying watching you apply it that I’m here wishing you were my friend, we could drink some wine and let you go to town on my face. 😂😂😂

[@glamourdarling]

no need, thats why we have bLENDING BRUSHES. the right amount of product and proper application is what prevents creasing. and in the 50s they used powders because the majority of makeup was cream based and it helped to set it into the skin. we wouldnt use technology from the 50s today. makeup technology has improved as well.

[@misschieviousbakes7400]

Great tip

[@tonyab8427]

I prefer to get baked well I’m putting on my eye makeup 😂

[@desireerrudnik1106]

I bake my shadow when I use eyeliner or cream shadows, but not normal powder shadows.

[@iamKaliN]

I usually put my eye primer before I bake and then bake over my eye as well to set the primer and my eyeshadow will normally last all day.

[@feelthejoy]

Do NOT try this if you’re wearing false lashes or tbh if you want your mascara to look good. I never bake anymore but I had a 2 show day this weekend and I powdered everything to reset bc I was feeling sweaty and greasy. My lashes were ruined. I had to remove them and put on a fresh pair and redo my eyeliner.

[@preppyhippy]

I use to do this back in the day and didn’t know it was a thing. My eyeshadow stayed on all night long.

[@colleens1878]

You can definitely see the difference and it probably is going to last longer than it normally would I would wait on the mascara and do that after

[@4lovebysara]

I could see trying it but maybe before mascara & liner 🤷‍♀️

[@quinlantaylor04]

I can just imagine all the powder going into my eyes. If you’re using decent shadows and a primer then you shouldn’t have creasing and if you want a diffused eye look then just go over the whole thing with a matte light transition shade. It will achieve the same effect and is safe for the eye area

[@7-Liana-7]
