Well, that’s what we thought untilMarie Claireintroduced us to non-touring.
You know you’re wearing it, but no one’s supposed to see it."
Of course, we were totally intrigued.
Obviously, there are levels when it comes to highlighting.
you’re free to go full on disco ball or choose a more subtle effect.
And non-touring falls on the barely-there side of the spectrum.
Think of this pared-down look as an easy way to make your skin glow without piling on deep bronzers.
The lit-from-within technique gives off a similar vibe as the no-makeup makeup trend.

Great makeup begins with great skincare.
Before adding product, ensure you have a hyrdated base to work with.
Apply lightweight foundation.
Layer a BB cream or a tinted moisturizer over your primer to prep the skin.
The goal in non-touring is to create light coverage that allows your natural skin to shine through.
So, skip heavy foundations that offer full coverage.
Instead, reach for coverups that will blur blemishes but still look natural.
Highlight the light-reflecting areas of your face.
It’s important to see to it that you choose the right illuminator for your skin’s undertones.

you might also highlight the center of your nose and your cupid’s bow.
All you need is a small amount of highlighter.
Sweep the product down from the bridge of your nose to the tip.
Then, use the same brush to outline the bow shape at the very top of your lip.
And here’s how non-touring compares to contouring.
Non-touring is very different from the chiseled effect of contouring.
This trend is all about subtle, natural-looking radiance.
