The boldness of this new trend is arguably a sign of body love. Makeup artist Afton Williams says that, while the contour palette still has its place, the emphasis on hiding "flaws" strips women of their individuality. "We shouldn't have to paint a pie chart of browns and whites on our faces to feel beautiful — or worse yet, to feel like someone else," she states.
The bare-face trend is one way of fighting against social norms. But so too is a unique pop of colour.
