— -- Contouring is so 2015.

The beauty industry trick to seemingly change the shape of your face is going out of style thanks to a trend that some stylists say is perfect for Spring.

It's called non-touring, and instead of using shadows and highlights on areas of your face to slim the nose and emphasize your cheekbones, those in the know are now only using highlights to illuminate the face for a fresh dewy look.

The look is being popularized by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Khloe Kardashian and supermodel Gigi Hadid.

Celebrity make-up artist Renee Sanganoo told ABC News it's easy to see why folks are ditching the contoured look.

"[Contouring] was getting a little crazy and out of hand. It was making people look harsh and older," she said. "So moving forward, non-touring is a very natural way to get glowing skin. It's all about the skin. It's a more youthful look and everyone wants to look younger."

Sanganoo, who has touched the faces of celebrities like Tamar Braxton, Christina Milian and Keshia Knight Pulliam, said it's a great look for Spring because "less is more, especially when you're outside more."

"If you're contouring and out in the sun, it'll show everything. So if it's not blended well, it will show or it can start running off your face," she warned. "So non-touring is a more natural look."

Want to achieve the look yourself? Here are Sanganoo's steps for a perfectly non-toured face:

Step 1: Grab the Concealer

"You really want to invest in a good concealer," Sanganoo said. "I suggest a corrector because it helps neutralize darkness under the eyes, discoloration on the skin and any puffiness."

Step 2: Find a Primer

"Use a primer that fits your skin type [dry, oily or combination]. For people that are more oily, try a primer that will give you a look that's not super matte. Remember, you want to have some type of glow to the skin. So definitely use a primer that has a luminous finish," she suggested.

Step 3: Try a Light Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer

"You don't want your make-up to look heavy, so pick a foundation that is more lightweight, maybe a tinted moisturizer," Sanganoo said. "A BB Cream also works. If you have problematic skin or blemishes, try to avoid full coverage foundations and instead use your concealer as a spot treatment."

Step 4: Get Your Glow!

"The final step is your highlighter. The highlighter should suit your skin color. If you're skin is lighter, you may want to use a highlighter that has more frost in it, with pink undertones. If your skin is warm or darker, pick a golden bronze highlighter or shimmer brick. Avoid anything with glitter chunks and choose luminous sparkles instead," she suggested.

"Concentrate on where the light is going to first hit when it's shining on your face," Sanganoo said. "So that's basically right under your eyebrow -- your brown bones -- the bridge of your nose, your cheekbones, your cupid's bow -- the little dip where your lip is -- and whatever is left over, put it on your chin. Some people like to put some in the corner of your eyes, near your tear duct."
