"Baking" is nowadays a big trend in makeup. The day I first heard about it the first thought came to my mind is "this is not a cake...then why we bake in makeup?"...lol, I know I am sounding pretty silly. But when I check the internet about it I learned the true meaning of "Baking".
What is Baking? The term, which has been used in the makeup community for years, refers to letting translucent powder sit on your face for five to 10 minutes, which allows the heat from your face to set your base foundation and concealer, and then dusting it off your face, leaving you with a creaseless, flawless finish. (Source: Google) A little info about RCMA NO COLOR POWDER:- About RCMA:-
Founded in 1962, the now legendary RCMA foundation was introduced for makeup artists working in film, television, and stage. Setting it a step ahead of the rest is its manufacturing - hand-poured in small batch conditions to ensure consistency and color standards are matched exactly, it instantly gives a flawlessly even skin tone and texture. We love RCMA's No-Colour powder, earning its status as the ultimate way to set your makeup thanks to its invisible, complexion perfecting finish.

Packaging:-
The packaging of this powder is very simple one. It comes in plastic bottle with a flip cap. The flip up cap can be twisted to open the bottle which has the broad mouth. You can either pour the powder directly from the broad mouth of the bottle or with the help of cap which has some small holes in it. The cap actually helps to regulate the fall of the powder. So, in short, you can use it anyway according to your preference. The powder is white in color and has no smell.
My experience:-
Now
there are so many translucent powders in the market nowadays that you
can use any of them to try out this process of "Baking". But I particularly settle into the
famous RCMA no color powder. As I wanted to try this out.
The powder is fine in texture and it easily blends into the skin. As it is a no-color powder so while applying although it looks white it easily blends into the skin adding no -color looks to your makeup. This powder actually brightens up your makeup. The powder settles into the skin giving a matte finish for hours. It is a perfect powder to set the concealers of under eye area or one can use it to create a sharp contour face look. A little goes a long way. So definitely it is my favorite powder for my makeup setting and I highly recommended this one.
I have used this powder in many of my videos (almost in all videos). So, if you are interested to see how I apply it on my skin then check out my latest video here
So, did you try out this one? Until next time... Love Sammy :*

MAC BEAUTY POWDER all from MAC GOOD LUCK TROLLS collection, that was launched long back is one of that product which was overlooked by me for months. But being a beauty blogger, I always click pictures of a new product before using it and always want to put it on my blog and store it as a memory but as I end up buying a lot nowadays sometimes I am too late to reviewing any products for months as I am juggling between my YouTube channel and blog ...
Another reason for sharing this blog post where it is a limited edition product is just because if you like my review then you can definitely shop it from Mac cosmetics.com that too in discount (yes, it is now $11.20 instead of $28) and use SOFU (ship out from the USA) to get it deliver to your door.
A little information about the MAC GOOD LUCK TROLLS BEAUTY POWDER "PLAY IT PROPER":
A silky-soft "beauty" powder that's delicately tinted and luxuriously pearl. Goes on as an ultra-fine, shimmering "veil" to the skin. Can be applied as a highlight, soft blush or overall finish. Specially packaged in crazy hues featuring the trolls' logo in black.
KEY CLAIMS AND BENEFITS: Multi-purpose Use all over face Adds a sheer veil of color or highlight.
USAGE: Apply to face using a brush as desired.
PACKAGING: Although Mac flamingo park collection was a colorful collection of the products but MAC GOOD LUCK TROLLS BEAUTY POWDER "PLAY IT PROPER" has a very colorful packaging indeed. The self-design of good trolls doll on beauty powder just added a one brownie point of reason to grab this powder. The beauty powder weight 10gm which will last forever I guess. And it comes up with a small mirror inside the case but without a brush.
MY EXPERIENCE: MAC GOOD LUCK TROLLS BEAUTY POWDER "PLAY IT PROPER" is described as "pastel soft pink with sparkles". The sparkle in the beauty powder are quite subtle kind off and once you blend it properly into your skin it hardly showed up. As it is a pastel pink beauty powder (I already mention earlier) for which it will suit only fair skin people and that's why through an Indian blogger"s eye I can say it is definitely not made for Indian skin tone.
Again, as I am a fair (I wish I am bit tan as I love all those warm undertones a lot) this powder goes quite well on my skin. I must admit that I bought this powder shredding 28$ plus shipping to India just in temptation after seeing the packaging only.
As it was my first beauty powder from Mac cosmetics, I was little confused as for how to use it properly. Moreover, the shade is so light pink that I can use it only as either highlighter or blush. But finally, after using this beauty powder in every single possible way, I found that I personally prefer to use this beauty powder as blush during summer while in winter as I became little more ghostly fair I just love to apply it lightly all over my highlighted area of the face just to give a subtle strobing effect.
The powder stays pretty 6 hours on my skin during winter but as it is a very light pink shade so it fades out a bit after 4 and half hours in hot and sweaty summers (you know how Indian summers are).
Overall I have a mixed kind of love and hates feeling about this powder. I love the way it adds a subtle glow on my skin but hate it as it is very light pastel pink which will hardly show up on my skin if I get tanned in summer.
So, yeah that concludes my post that was long pending in my draft folder of the blog and finally I decide to post it. Until next time "Stay beautiful with your makeup on..."
