Trending: Blurring
The latest craze in the beauty world is the technique of Blurring. The look is easy to achieve, you can do this by applying very light makeup and skincare, but doing so in a way that camouflages any unwanted blemishes or skin concerns. Instead of heavy matte foundations I would suggest you opt to use products that have a dewy finish.
