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! ;)

Here are the steps to use the baking method:

1. After applying your concealer/foundation, take a LOOSE powder that is much lighter than your skin tone and a damp sponge and apply EXCESSIVELY  onto areas you want to highlight and set in place, e.g. undereyes, nose bridge, chin, and forehead.

2. Leave it there to "bake" for about 10 minutes. This will set your concealer and foundation in place whilst also highlighting at the same time.

3. After 10 minutes is over, take a fluffy brush and lightly dust off the excess powder
