There are some unique non-traditional makeup trends out there this year but we have chosen the more natural, everyday options that will keep you looking healthy, natural and sun kissed no matter where you’re going or what you’r doing. Let’s get into the details.
Tantouring
We have all used bronzer to sculpt our faces but the new trend is tantouring. Creating a chiseled cheekbone or thinner nose can change the appearance of the shape of your face. Tantouring is just what it sounds like. Using self tanner to counter your facial structure to create a more natural and effortless summer look. You can sweep under your cheekbones, on the sides of your nose, across the jawline and around the forehead to emphasize or de-emphasize facial feature. When using self-tanner be sure not to get it into your hairline. You can also try self tanner on your body to add definition. Applying self tanner on your collarbone, chest and legs can help emphasize your features.Tip: If your nervous to try this technique, try mixing a few drops of a self tanner with your moisturizer and apply to the places you want to contour. The nose, cheek line and jaw area are the favorites. This approach will enable a slow change. Afraid of mistakes? Don’t worry, self tanner is not permanent. The other benefit is that contouring is excellent for a day at the beach or pool when you’r not wearing makeup.

Bold Brows
Bold brows continue to be on trend. Honestly, we don’t see this ever changing because brows are so important to framing your face. The latest bold brow trend involves emphasizing your brows. Want to learn how to create a bold brow? Check out this post from timesnownews.com.
While makeup can do wonders, we still believe in growing and enhancing your own natural brows.

We should mention that there is a trend emerging which calls for thinner brows but we beg you not to go down that path. There are literally millions of women in America today who are seeking a solution for thin brows because they over plucked their brows in the past. Once again, we implore you not to get on the think brow bandwagon.
Glossy Lips
Now that the masks are coming off you can put the matte lipstick away for a while and enjoy a glossy lip. There are lots of glosses that have moisturizing and sun protection formulas. We recommend focusing on the nude and popsicle colors. Not sure what to buy? We like this post from byrdie.com because they break down options based on costs as well as key features.
