\n

After years of chiseled contour, overlined lips and precision-sharp everything, beauty is finally softening, and blurred makeup is shaping up to be the defining trend of summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything right now is about looking a little airbrushed in real life,\u201d says celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg. \u201cThink watercolor blush, blurred lips, hazy liner, skin that still looks like skin and super light no-makeup makeup.\u201d The aesthetic is romantic, impressionistic and\u2014perhaps most importantly\u2014universally flattering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The formula for getting there is simpler than you\u2019d think. Greenberg\u2019s directive: swap anything \u201csuper dry, opaque or aggressively matte\u201d for formulas that melt into skin\u2014cream blushes, soft matte lip tints, tinted moisturizers. Work in thin layers, she says, and blend more than feels necessary. \u201cThe secret,\u201d she says, \u201cis less perfection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below are the products making the blurred makeup trend effortless.<\/p>\n

This liner trades a fine point for a domed applicator that diffuses color on contact, building a hazy, natural-looking definition that looks less “drawn on” and more innately yours. Greenberg counts it among her current favorites, and it’s easy to see why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
