Kim Kardashian is mooting a new technique - sandbagging - the secret to long-lasting, non-smudge lipstick
She's the queen of contouring who showed us how to create flawless make-up and killer cheek bones by using shadowing and highlighting.
However, now Kim Kardashian is mooting a new technique - sandbagging - which she claims is the secret to long-lasting, non-smudge lipstick.
The reality TV star's make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic showcased the method in an Instagram post - and fans can't get enough.
Mario Dedivanovic, Kim Kardashian's
make-up artist, uses sandbagging to prevent Kim's lipstick from smudging
or creasing. The powder absorbs any excess cream or oil and is brushed
away afterwards
Mario reveals that the mother-of-two sweeps white powder across her mouth and cheeks, before applying her lipstick.
It is said to give the color staying-power, and also means that it doesn't smudge when applied.
Mario then brushes the powder away, leaving Kim with perfect lips.
Instagram
users responded positively to the photo, with one user saying: 'I need
to learn this!' and another commenting: 'I can study her face for hours!
Perfect.'
Other Instagram users have also begun using - and developing - the technique and posting photos of the effect.

involves dabbing heavy powder under the eyes and around the lips,
applying the make-up and then brushing the powder away.

Sandbagging stops make-up from creasing, which help it to last longer and to not migrate down the face
While the amount of powder the technique uses may initially seem excessive, once it is brushed off the face it looks flawless
This
prevents the oils and creams in the eye and lip make-up from moving -
and should mean that they stay in place all day long.
It does exactly what real sandbags do: creates a barrier around an area to stop it from flooding.
Kim Kardashian's makeup artist Mario may not have created the technique, but he has succeeded in bringing it to the mainstream.
As it prevents make-up from creasing, it's perfect for him to use on the star for special occasions.
The technique has been adopted by other Instagram users, who post photos of the effect of sandbagging
Sandbagging
is similar to the 'baking' technique, which involves using the heat of
your face to 'cook' the make-up put on it by covering it in a thick
laying of powder.
All you need to try sandbagging is loose powder, a make-up sponge and a brush.
Apply
foundation and concealer as you normally would. The dab the edge of a
make-up sponge into the powder and apply it heavily under your waterline
and under your lips.
Youtuber Wayne Goss demonstrates the
technique in a video, showing that although initially it looks like a
lot of powder to be applying, once it is brushed off it gives a smooth
base
Wayne says that sandbagging will prevent eyeshadow and mascara creasing
The powder should be in a thick layer and be visible.
Complete your eye make-up and lipstick, and when complete simply brush the powder away lightly.
The
thick layer of powder will ensure that the lipstick and eye make-up
stays put and doesn't smudge at all. The effect should last all day.
