In other beauty news, rainbow contouring is the latest make-up trend we’re all eager to try.

‘Rainbow Contour’ is a beauty trend where the user draws curves around their face with liquid or cream contour, blush and concealer or foundation. 

Once the makeup is applied across the skin before it is blended, it resembles a rainbow - hence the name!

The idea behind this contouring technique is to enhance or slim down certain facial features using liquid or cream products all in one go, rather than needing to apply multiple products one after the other which can prolong the process.
