Strobing is essentially the technique of highlighting, but contrary to contouring, strobing does not use any dark powders. The goal of strobing is to highlight certain facial features (specifically all the high planes such as the cheek bones and the bridge of our nose), and thus creating a dewy and more youthful appearance. Strobing essentially highlights the parts of your face that would naturally “brighten up” if you were standing under bright, flattering lights, all while avoiding an oily or sweaty look.
First, liberally apply moisturizer to your face, and then try mixing in a bit of luminizer with your foundation.
Use highlighter to enhance where light would naturally hit your face, which for most of us is across the temples, cheekbones, and bridge of your nose, below your brow bone, in the corners of your eyes, and above your cupid’s bow. If you have oily skin, skip areas like your forehead or chin, which have a little shine already.
If you have a light complexion, stick with champagne colors for strobing, while darker skin tones will look better in more golden hues (is. terra-cotta tones).
After you’ve applied the highlighter, blend it out with your fingers, a fan brush, or a damp makeup sponge.
To avoid blobs of product and obvious makeup lines, make sure you blend any harsh edges of highlighter so it fades into the rest of your skin.
If you have oily skin, opt for a matte bronzer, blush, or other facial products, and only use a shimmery highlighter. To avoid looking overly shiny, choose a matte formula for most of your makeup (primer, foundation, bronzer, powder). Finish the look with blush.
