Stop The Makeup Slide With This One Technique!

Don’t you hate it when your lipstick feathers out onto your skin, making your lips look hot mess rather than just hot. Or when your eyeliner quits lining your eyes and decides to line your face instead. Makeup smearing is a cosmetic loving girl’s nightmare. It takes your look from en pointe to straight out ‘OMG take it off!’ So what’s a girl to do if this is a regular problem? Sandbagging.

Sandbagging was brought into the mainstream by Kimmy K’s makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, and it’s surprisingly simple to do…

After you’ve applied foundation and concealer you take a loose powder and a wedge sponge and press the powder into the areas that need to be free from the curse of the slide and smudge – so around your lips and right up tight under your eyes. You then go about doing the rest of your makeup while it sets and sucks up grease and moisture, effectively creating a dam. Once you’re finished gussying yourself up, you dust off the powder and you’re done. 

If things do what they’re meant to do, and the sandbagging is successful, you’ll be able to swan around looking gorgeous all day knowing that your eyeliner will stay around your eyes and your lipstick won’t end up looking Joker-esque. 

Want to see how easy sandbagging is? Check out this video from our fav YouTube beauty guru, Wayne Goss. 

So does your eye makeup and lippy have a tendency to travel? Have you tried the sandbagging technique? Did it stop the slide? Is this something you’re keen to try to stop yourself looking like you’ve been out all night when in fact you’ve had a solid eight hours and feel as fresh as a daisy?

It never ceases to amaze me all the new makeup techniques coming out.

I've never found a way to get eyeliner to stay on properly without looking like a panda an hour later

I just had a moment last week where I thought my eye make had headed too far south... must try this! I do wonder how it will settle and wear though... wish me luck.

I will soon run out of time in the morning with, wait for it, another step, in the make up process before I will be ready to leave the house. I may have to give up work,, as work is taking up to much of my time, which I need for face preparation.

This sounds interesting.

Oh I'll definitely be giving this a go! I've got myself quite a collection of lippys now, I need to have every color possible lol and am getting more creative with my eyes. In doing so I've learnt all my hard work can be ruined in a few hours with it 'traveling' haha so sandbaging will be part of my routine if it's successful!!!

I have to work on it. Whatever is baking or sandbagging. I want my eye makeup and lipstick long last.i will defiantly try this.

It gives a more chiseled and precise look, I think Wayne goss should be on Beauty review, the way he explains things is so fantastic and he is such a sweet heart <3

My daughter told me to do this maybe 3 years ago when I complained that my mascara would run! It really works for me.

26th April, 2016

Hmmn...I probably won't do it. Just getting make up on at all is enough for me :)

26th April, 2016

Hmmm...gotta try this since I do have a lot of smudging. I find some of my liquid lippies like to bleed so I'll see if this helps the color stay in place.

What a great idea, I don't think I could do this under my eye area as it's too dry but I love the lipstick idea!

26th April, 2016

Sandbagging haha - there are so many little things that can be done, I'm just too lazy :)

26th April, 2016

Aah this seems simple and effective, I'll definitely be giving it a go
