The word "Jamsu" is a Korean word that roughly translates to 'diving' or 'submergence.' The makeup trick is designed to help set your makeup leaving your skin with a flawless, matte finish.

The practice is quite simple. It involves applying your foundation, concealer, contour as you usually would, then following with either baby powder or translucent powder before dunking it in cold water. Typically this is done for about thirty seconds.

It's worth noting that you might want to avoid doing your eye makeup as it might smudge and end up looking like a panda face.
