Super natural sculpting, or soft sculpting, is a makeup technique that adds subtle definition to bring out your natural features without any harsh lines. Think a lighter, softer version of contouring. Super natural sculpting looks good on everyone, and it’s perfect for any occasion, from the everyday to full-glam looks. It’s also a surprisingly simple look that anyone can do. All you need is blush, bronzer, highlighter, and contour. Give the super natural sculpting trend a try with these tips and tricks. For bronzer, choose a warm, just-got-back-from-vacation shade—nothing too muddy or orange—in your favorite finish. Apply on your cheeks, forehead, and nose for a subtle, beachy glow. Pro tip: Softly sculpt your eyes by placing your cream, liquid, or powder bronzer in your eyelid crease—it’s the perfect addition to your quick, everyday makeup routine. No sculpted look is complete without a little contour. Stick formulas are fan favorites because they allow for easy, precise application and add dimension exactly where you want it. But any formula works! Apply a matte, cool-toned contour shade to your jawline, nose, forehead, and the hollows of your cheeks (or anywhere you want to define), and blend, blend, blend! Blending is the key to creating a soft and natural contoured look. Remember, you want to avoid harsh lines and mimic the natural shadows of your face. Subtle, natural-looking blush can be achieved with any kind of formula. Liquid or cream blushes are a great way to add a quick pop of color. Reach for a powder blush if you’re looking for a soft, natural flush. Want ultimate staying power? Layer your two favorite formulas or pick a stain or tint. Whatever formula you choose, the key is selecting a natural-looking shade and focusing on blush placement. Go for a shade that looks soft on your unique skin tone and place it on the apples of your cheeks for a sunkissed look or on the high points of your cheekbones for a more lifted look. Highlighter is the finishing touch and can absolutely be toned down to deliver a more natural, sculpted look. Pick a creamy, sheerer formula in a soft shade—nothing too bold! (Save your brightest highlighter for a different occasion and choose something that doesn’t stand out too much against your skin tone.) Look for a product that adds a slight sheen to make the high points of your face pop. One to try: Sephora Collection’s Clean Glowing Cheek and Eye Highlighter Multi-Stick. Place on your cheekbones, browbone, Cupid’s bow, the tip of your nose, inner corner of the eyes, or anywhere you want to add a lit-from-within glow.
