Strobing

Hi, 

If you don't know contouring yet, it's a technique where you highlight parts of your face to make them pop by using a shade 2 tones lighter than your skin tone and contour other parts with a shade two tones darker than your own skin tone to make these parts of your face recede. This creates a slimmer face with sharper features.

But there is a new trend now, called strobing. With strobing you only focus on highlighting your face. You apply your highlighter generously on the parts of your face that naturally hit the light. This creates a very dewy and glowy look. Here is a tutorial made by Amelia Liana on how you can achieve a strobing look.

As you may have seen in the video, strobing is a lot easier than contouring. It also looks more natural than a matte contoured face and makes your skin look very healthy. Of course, don't overdo it with a very glittery highlighter, because than it won't look natural at all!

I really like this trend and I think it perfect for a summery look!
