Why look sculpted
when you can look dewy?
Just when we had started wrapping our heads around contouring a new make-up craze has occurred. In simple terms, strobing is basically just a fancy word for highlighting. Forget about contouring, going crazy with the highlighter will give you a dewy, more youthful glow. To keep you on the right track and keep you looking glowy and not sweaty, here are a few tips.
Prep your skin
Strobing is all about getting the perfect glow. Moisturising your skin will replenish dull, dry skin. I would recommend using an oil free moisturiser.
Pick the Correct Shade
Use a Highlighter that is going to suit and compliment your skin tone. If you have fair skin, opt for a pink champagne colour. If you have medium skin, go for a peach champagne colour. If you have olive skin, a gold shade will look perfect on you. And if you have dark skin opt for a beautiful copper colour. Instead of going out and buying an expensive highlighter, why not try using a sheer eyeshadow.
Highlight the Parts that Catch the Light

Highlight the Parts that Catch the Light
Along your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, below your brow bone,
along your temples the corner of your eyes and your Cupid's bow are all places
where you should be placing your highlighter. This will enhance your natural
features without going overboard.
Blend
After you've applied your highlighter, using either your fingertips or a fan brush blend out the product to avoid any harsh edges.
For those of you will oily skin, like myself, opt for a matte bronzer or blush to avoid looking like a disco ball.
And that's it beauties! To me this isn't as hard to grasp as contouring, and gives a beautiful youthful glow- perfect for spring!
Until next times lovelies, take care and I'll speak to youse in my next post,
