Strobing

Strobing is a recent trend, similar to contouring except instead of carving out the hollows of the face by adding darkness, you accentuate the high points by adding a lighter shade or illuminator. For it to be the strobing technique instead of just highlighting, there needs to be no contour. The highlight should be dusted across the cheekbones, nose, cupids bow and temples to create a really glowy look. I think that this look is best with minimal make up on the eyes and lips. This look has inspired one of the looks in for my project as I think it would be perfect for a minimal weekend make up look where the skin is the central focus.
