She was firmly at the helm of the contouring craze that's swept the beauty world in recent years, but now Kim Kardashian appears to have tired of the trend.

Speaking at the Vogue Festival in London this weekend, the mother-of-two revealed she now favours a more natural look and is 'trying to wear less' make-up.

She also praised the new 'non-touring' make-up technique beloved by the likes of Gigi Hadid and Blake Lively, which favours a natural, dewy complexion over heavy contouring and highlighting.

Daring dresses are Kim Kardashian's thang. The A-list star loves the nearly-naked look so we can't say we were exactly surprised with this ensemble.

Still, Kim looked like a knockout in the Cavalli Couture creation. Decorated with exquisite intricate details, the sheer dress showed off Kim's infamous kurves. Fans of the reality star might recognize the dress as being very similar to the one she wore to the Met Gala this year, also designed by Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli.

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT FOR LESS

Kim, 35, was taking part in a beauty talk with celebrity make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury and Vogue's editor-at-large, Fiona Golfar.

'I think right now it's more about nontouring, like real skin with less make-up on it,' she told the audience. 'I'm trying to wear less... and my husband loves me without make-up. Now when I travel I just bring a small make-up case, and I'm content with that.'

She added: 'I'm really into strobing now, so just highlighting the skin without using bronzer. I love contouring and I don't think I'd stop contouring my nose - I know people think I've had a nose job but it really is just make-up!'

The star kicked off the contouring craze in 2014 when she shared an Instagram picture showing her contouring make-up before it had been blended; and the following year she posted a dramatic collage of her extensive make-up routine featuring contouring, dark red lips and blue smoky eyes.

Kim revealed that she gave birth to her first child, 'in full-make-up' but went cosmetics-free for her second, Saint, who was born in December. By contrast, Charlotte Tilbury's husband has never seen her make-up free

WHAT IS CONTOURING, STROBING, BAKING AND NONTOURING?

CONTOURING uses a matte bronzer to carve shape into your face and make it look thinner and more symmetrical
NON-TOURING a backlash from the heavily contoured and highlighted trend, focusing on subtle and natural makeup that seeks to highlight your skin rather than mask it.
STROBING is using a very obvious shimmery highlight to make your cheekbones look like a disco ball
BAKING is using a translucent powder to sit on your foundation for 10 minutes before brushing it off to set your makeup and get a flawless finish

Kim also revealed that she gave birth to her first child, North, 'in full-make-up' but went cosmetics-free for her second, Saint, who was born in December.

By contrast, Charlotte, whose husband has never seen her without make-up, admitted: 'Wearing make-up is just how I feel most empowered and confident.

'If he tries to come into the bathroom when I've taken it all off I have to chase him away.'
