Meet non-touring, your new favourite make-up technique

So you’ve finally mastered contouring? Well, forget all that and embrace non-touring.

Big surprise: after clogging our Instagram feed with overly-sculpted, Kardashian-levels of contouring, the beauty world has decided to go in the complete opposite direction and embrace non-touring.

So what, exactly, is non-touring?

Just like strobing is another fancy name for highlighting, non-touring is the latest buzzy, social-media way to describe that dewy, no make-up make-up you’ve been doing forever (with a side of highlighting).

There are only three steps to this dewy, you-but-slightly-better look:

1. Start with a colour-correcting or brightening primer all over (we’re currently loving Hourglass Ambient Light Correcting Primer). 

2. Dab on a little tinted moisturizer or alphabet cream (ie a BB or CC cream). If you have really excellent skin (we’re jealous!), skip this step and just go over any trouble spots with concealer.

3. Hit the high points of your face with a cream or powder highlighter. So that’s your cheekbones, brow bone and bridge of the nose. Extra brownie points if you apply a little over the cupid’s bow.
