The art of STROBING…luminosity and highlighting of the bone structure, in a flash!
The
word ‘strobe lighting’ you may associate with the disco light craze of
the 90’s? Well how about creating light beams across the face, bringing
features forwards, as apposed to contouring the features to create
depth, with dark matte palettes? Take your skin finish back to basics
this New Year, keeping your make-up base fresh and dewy, blurring any
fine lines and tired skin, with this illuminating skin trend.
Prepare your flawless base using a light, radiant finish foundation
such as Christian Dior Diorskin Nude Skinglowing make-up (RRP £32.50)
for a light, even complexion, with a transparent, natural appearance.
Glace
a translucent powder over your T zone such as NO.7 translucent pressed
powder (Boots £11.50) with its velvet soft, weightless finish.
My
favorite highlighter for natural Strobing is Mac Studio Sculpt Defining
Powder (£22.50 in 8 shades) which gives a near matte veil of light to
the skin...
Where to apply?...
Under the eyes in a triangular point to the cheek
Centre of the nose on the bone.
Centre of the forehead, between the brows sweeping up and outwards.
Under the nose (above the top lip)
Centre of the chin.
Add
some extra luminocity with Smashbox L.S Lights Blendable Cheek (and
lip) (Smashbox.co.uk £25.00) in ‘Hollywood and Highlight’ for fair skins
or ‘Venice Beach Bronze’ for dark skin tones….Glance this beauty on top
of the cheek bones, blending away upwards towards the temples, for a
‘light flash’ glance.
If you haven’t perfected the contoured look of 2015, you will love this ‘Strobing’ trend, for a fresh Spring look!
