While the popular makeup trends of baking and contouring may have made a splash among beauty lovers, it looks like the latest makeup technique has just arrived. Known as sandbagging, the newest variation on baking your makeup brings the focus to the under eye area.
According to Allure, sandbagging gets its name from the way it can anchor makeup and keep a face full of products under control. After all, sandbags are used to keep flood waters from spilling over and causing a disaster. In a similar manner, sandbagging your makeup can disguise those pesky under eye circles and offer the look of a glowing visage.

Although baking involves the rest of the visage as well, the sandbagging technique comes into play after you have applied concealer.
To achieve the look, beauty lovers are applying powder to this area using a dampened makeup sponge. Similar to the traditional baking technique, sandbagging then calls for dusting away the translucent powder in order to create a flawless effect.
Here’s a closer look at the rising trend of sandbagging, for makeup mavens who wish to incorporate this trick into their daily regimens.
