Put contouring aside because it’s time to meet its sister, strobing. So, what exactly is strobing? Strobing focuses on highlighting the high points of your face to give your skin a fresh, dewy, radiant look. If you follow your favorite Kardashian’s or celebrities on Instagram, you will see why this new beauty trend is in – it makes the skin look young and bright!

Strobing is an easy beauty routine that can give you the Hollywood glow in less than 10 minutes. Here are a few steps that will leave your skin looking vibrant:

1. Start off by moisturizing your skin. In order to achieve this fresh look, you need your skin to be smooth and fully hydrated.

2. Apply a foundation that matches your skin tone with a damp beauty blender.

3. Begin applying a highlighter on the areas that catch light:

– Cheekbones

– Along your temples

– Down the bridge of your nose

– Center of your forehead

– Brow bone

– Cupid’s bow

– Chin

 

4. After you’ve applied your highlighter, gently blend it all in with a damp beauty blender.

Once you’ve completed these steps, you’ve perfected the technique of strobing!
