The Baking Method
And no, not baking a cake or sweets hahahaha! But the baking makeup technique which originated from drag makeup! I'm sure you guys have come across this method, but if not, basically what baking is in the make up world; it is applying an excessive amount of loose powder on areas you want to highlight.
The baking method is definitely a heavy and full effect makeup look. It involves applying excessive amounts of powder so it is important to moisturise your skin to prep for it. Since this method involved alot of layering, it would be more ideal for special occasions rather than everyday. However, if that's your everyday routine then go for it! ;)
