Alright! So, hello there unique beauties! I pointed out the fact that we’re all unique because that’s something I’d like to talk about here and now with due respect to all the makeup companies, beauty bloggers and of course, the queen of contouring, Kim Kardashian!

It’s in news that recently Kim made some remarks contrary to the trend of contouring which she herself has been embracing, during the Vogue festival on the 21^st May, she said, “I think right now it’s more about nontouring, like real skin with less make-up on it. I’m trying to wear less… and my husband loves me without make-up.” Kardashian gave birth to her second child, Saint, sans make-up, which has also hampered this trend. She added, “For my first baby I gave birth in full make-up, but none for my second.”

That’s exactly what is trending in beauty this season, less makeup, less painting your face and more you, the actual shape of your face. This new wave of changes in the beauty trend has brought us the concept of ‘nontouring’ which is a self-explanatory term about minimal use of those dark foundations and contouring tricks. Broadly, it is about minimal makeup rather no makeup or even the baby face, backlashing the overdone trend of contouring.

The makeup fanatics can hold it till I mention how they can still enjoy the art without loading gallons of face paint and still making it just right in sync with the trend. Slight strobing comes in to their rescue. It is all about a subtle touch of flawless with highlighters and correct moisture content! Start with a hydrating cream and then pick out the highlighter to compliment your skin- you’re done for the day or night!

On Instagram, the #strobing hashtag has around 140,193 posts, with lots of before-and-after shots showing folks how a “strobed” versus “non-strobed” face appears. While Kim Kardashian is the prime promoter of contouring, celebrities like Gigi, Kendall, Zendaya, JLo have slayed their strobed looks!

Earlier this month, a well-known beauty blogger and brand, Huda Beauty released a YouTube video explaining the beauty trend.

It’s anyway strikingly amazing how we all differ in our face shapes from oval to square to diamond and further more distinct shapes. We’re all born with wonderful variations, talking about face, the thickness of your brows, the highly visible cheekbones or not, the shape of your lips etcetera. While contouring has to do more with structuring your face and playing with the shape, Strobing or ‘nontouring’ is more about a fresh and dewy young look keeping the actual structure.
