How to Strobe / Highlight
Strobing / Highlighting techniques in
makeup:
So strobing is the new trendy thing
that girls are doing these days. Well ! Strobing is the name given to
highlighting. It’s the intense highlighting that girls are doing these days. It’s
a highlighting to another level, layering highlight on top of each other to
really give your face an intense glow. It’s very youthful and gives your skin a
dewy glow. It looks so good in summer and spring. Familiar with the word “strobing”
now?
So lets get started with It’s
application techniques:
You are going to layer quite
good amount of highlighters on each other to get that strobe effect.
Always start out with a cream because I find when I apply cream highlighter the
first everything else sticks out to this a lot more and the highlights you
apply on top is going to be more vibrant just like you do when applying cream
eyeshadow first to make a good base for the color. So cream base holds up the
powders and that’s what you want in this technique.
Use your finger to apply cream highlighter. Cream highlighters works very well
with the help of your fingers because your fingers have natural heat to them
that helps to blend the cream products and blend easily on the skin. So apply
the highlighter anywhere the light hits your face AKA high points of your face
which you want to highlight ( above the brow bone, on the cheek bone, bridge of
the nose and cupids bow ) any part that you want to come forward that’s what
you want to accentuate with your highlight.
Say you want to highlight your cheek
bone so apply it on that and you would feel the bone of your cheek while
applying so that’s where you want to apply the product as you can see in the
picture. ( Do not highlight your face if you have pores )
You can also apply above your brow
bone right where the light in hitting your brow.
Also on the tip of the nose,
if you want to give yourself more lifted nose so highlight so you would apply
highlight just on the tip of the nose.
You can also apply highlight on the cupids
bow of your lips to give yourself the illusion of having fuller lips
You also want to apply little bit on
the chin
After using cream highlight just
apply powder highlight on the areas you want and the strobing is done .
Best cream highlighter that I recommend is the Strobe Cream by Makeup Revolution
