How To Make-Up: Strobing

Welcome back!

I haven't done a make-up post in such a long time so I thought I would take to the internet and scour around for an up coming trend. I had already seen some "strobing" before at various fashion shows and I had always admired the youthful dewy complexion it gives. I think it makes people look angelic almost ethereal (depending on how much glow your going for). I decided to give it a go, however, I have made it slightly more wearable for those of us who have a fear of looking like a disco ball!

Anyway, let's get started. As always make sure your skin is prepped and ready, clean of excess oils and left-over make-up as well as moisturised.

The only three products I used to this create this look were the Benefit high beam highlighter, Rimmel clear complexion powder and the highlighter in the Sleek contour palette.

I started the look off with a cream based highlighter; high beam. I was pretty generous with this as this was my base and I wanted it to be as bright as possible. I applied it with the applicator brush and blended it in with my fingers. This product is pretty easy to blend in too, so looks pretty natural. Below I have created an illustration of where exactly I applied the highlighter (along the cheek bones, above and below the eyebrows, bridge of the nose, cupids bow and chin).

After that is all blended in I powdered over it with the clear complexion powder. Once that's done, take a contouring brush and apply the powder highlighter where you applied the liquid earlier as well as your temples. Finish the look off with your favourite setting spray. 

Here are some photos of the finished look: 

I hope you enjoyed this wearable strobing look!
