Baking, sandbagging, contouring, highlighting, and the beauty list goes on and on and on… The latest beauty trick that’s trending among makeup artists at the moment is sandbagging.
A while ago, Kim Kardashian’s make-up artist, Mario Dedivanovic, revealed the technique that prevents your makeup from creasing and lipstick from bleeding. The reality TV star's make-up artist Mario uploaded the sandbagging method on his Instagram, and we haven't stopped watching it since then.
Sandbagging involves dabbing heavy powder under your eyes and around the lips using a beauty blender to create a "dam" that would prevent your makeup from running or "flooding." There’s nothing new to the technique as it’s a little similar to baking (which sort of revolves around highlighting using loose powder), however, sandbagging is just creating a physical barrier -using powder- to set your makeup in and prevent smudging.
YouTube sensation Wayne Goss explains the sandbag technique in the video below.
