Based on a review by Charlie Parashar (accessed 2026-04-18).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about very fine texture — just accept requires careful application to avoid settling into lines or patches.
The reviewer concludes that proper skin preparation and strategic layering of makeup products are essential to achieve a flawless, smooth, and long-lasting base that looks glowy and fresh without enhancing skin texture.
This video is a comprehensive makeup tutorial focused on achieving a flawless, smooth, and long-lasting base through proper layering techniques. The reviewer demonstrates the application of various skincare and makeup products, including sunscreen, primer, color corrector, foundation, concealer, contour, blush, loose powder, and setting spray.
The Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder is an indispensable investment for anyone aiming for a flawless and durable makeup base. Its ultra-fine texture is crucial for setting under-eyes and the entire face, preventing creases and significantly extending makeup wear beyond just 20-30 minutes. The reviewer specifically notes its power to either enhance or detract from the overall makeup look depending on application. If you desire makeup that stays put and looks smooth all day, this powder is a top recommendation. However, ensure you blend out any creases before application to avoid a patchy appearance.

The reviewer applies Dalba sunscreen, noting that makeup sits very well on it. She states it's hydrating, gives a juicy finish, and hydrating/creamy sunscreens are better under makeup than matte ones.

The reviewer stresses that skin prep, including washing and moisturizing, is not optional and must be done before makeup, regardless of skin type, to achieve a beautiful base.
reviewer_claimneutralt=1:40–1:53
The reviewer states that primer can be skipped if a moisturizer and good sunscreen have been applied, and if there are no specific concerns like large pores or sweaty skin.

The reviewer demonstrates applying a small amount of blurring primer only on areas with large open pores, such as the cheeks, rather than over the entire face.

The reviewer emphasizes that the key to layering is to wait at least one minute between skincare and makeup steps, and between different makeup application steps.

The reviewer explains that color corrector is used to neutralize pigmentation (brown/bluish tones) on the face, like around the mouth and under eyes, to prevent the foundation from looking gray.
reviewer_claimneutralt=3:19–3:57
The reviewer suggests using a concealer two shades deeper than the skin tone as an alternative to orange color corrector. She also advises setting deep pigmentation with a loose powder after blending the corrector to prevent it from mixing with foundation.

The reviewer demonstrates applying foundation with fingers first from the back of the hand, then blending it with a buffing foundation brush by tapping, rather than rubbing, for a flawless finish.
hands_on_demopositivet=5:28–6:04
The reviewer applies a highlighting concealer (1-2 shades lighter) to inner and outer under-eye corners, eyelids, nose, and forehead. She instructs to let it 'marinate' for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then blend by tapping upwards with a sponge, emphasizing not to rub.
reviewer_claimpositivet=6:38–6:51
The reviewer states the rule: always apply cream and liquid products (like contour and blush) first, before setting the face with any powder products, to ensure proper layering.
hands_on_demopositivet=6:55–7:55
The reviewer applies cream contour slightly upwards along the cheekbone and jawline, and into the hairline on the forehead. She emphasizes blending upwards with an angular brush for a snatched, lifted, and natural finish.
hands_on_demopositivet=8:00–8:49
The reviewer applies cream blush with her fingers, tapping gently above the contour line, ensuring not to disturb the base makeup. She advises removing excess product before application.
reviewer_claimpositivet=9:02–9:37
The reviewer strongly advises using a fine loose powder (not compact powder) to set the face, especially under the eyes, to make makeup long-lasting and prevent creasing. She considers it a crucial investment.
hands_on_demopositivet=9:56–10:47
The reviewer demonstrates blending out creases under the eyes before applying loose powder with a puff. She taps the powder, looking up, to set the under-eye area and eyelids, showing a clear before-and-after difference.
hands_on_demopositivet=11:39–12:05
The reviewer applies setting/fixing spray after completing makeup, noting that it helps bring back the glow, which she attributes to proper skin prep and correct product layering.
The reviewer demonstrates that a flawless, smooth, and long-lasting makeup base is achieved through a multi-step layering process. This includes thorough skin prep (washing, moisturizing, hydrating sunscreen), applying products in the correct order (creams/liquids before powders), using techniques like tapping instead of rubbing, and crucially, waiting at least one minute between application steps. Setting the face, especially under eyes, with a fine loose powder is also key for longevity and preventing creasing, followed by a setting spray.
The reviewer states that if your skin is already well-hydrated from a good moisturizer and sunscreen, you can often skip primer. This is particularly true if you don't have specific concerns such as large open pores or issues with sweaty skin. She demonstrates applying primer only to areas with large pores when it is deemed necessary.
The reviewer advises blending out any creases under the eyes *before* applying loose powder. Then, take a small amount of fine loose powder on a puff, rub off excess on the back of your hand, look up, and tap the powder gently onto the under-eye area and eyelids. This technique helps ensure makeup lasts longer and doesn't settle into lines, as demonstrated by the reviewer.
The reviewer explicitly states that cream and liquid products, such as cream contour and blush, should always be applied first. Once these cream/liquid layers are complete, the face should then be set properly with powder products. This strict order prevents disturbing the base and ensures a seamless application, contributing to a flawless final look.
The reviewer demonstrates a specific technique for foundation application: first, take a small amount of foundation on the back of your hand, rub it with your finger, and apply it to your face using your fingers. After this initial application, use a buffing foundation brush to blend the product by tapping, rather than rubbing, to ensure a smooth and flawless look without disturbing the base makeup.
