                                         Strobing

You only really need one product for strobing and that's a really good highlighter! Make sure you have one that's suits your skin tone. If you have a dark skin tone I would recommend buying a gold or bronze highlighter. If you have a lighter complexion, a pink or white/silver based highlighter. But what really matters is that you choose a highlighter that you think suits you and that you like!
Strobing seems to be the latest trend, the latest make-up fad on the tip of every make-up fans tongue. It is in fact not some new concept but a trick make-up artists have been using for ages. But as we know the make-up industry just loves coining new nicknames and reinventing old techniques. Many people prefer this technique to  "contouring" as it gives you a subtle glow and enhances your natural features whereas with contouring you are basically giving yourself a whole new image.



As stated before Strobing is no different than regular highlighting. You place it in areas you would like the light to hit off. The tops of your cheekbones, the inner corner of your eye, underneath your brow bone,, the tip of your nose and along the bridge of your nose . You can also apply the highlighter to the top of your Cupid's bow to emphasise your lips.

When your finished applying your highlighter you can rub it in gently with your fingers, a fan brush or a beauty blender. Make sure you blend it is properly to ensure you achieve that flawless look. 

To give your face something extra I'd recommend putting on an illuminating moisturiser before your foundation or even mixing it with your foundation. This just doesn't illuminate your face but also hydrates and moisturises your skin, this is especially essential during these hot summer months.
