Strobing is a new make-up technique that can be associated with a photography. In this field of art, strobing means taking a picture with a pulsing flash. What does it have in common with make-up? When you look at your face on the photo that was taken using the flash, then you can see that some parts of your face are brighter than the others. This effect have inspired make-up artists and these created a make-up technique called, no surprisingly, strobing make-up also known as luminizing make-up. The great advantage of this make-up trend is that all you need, as it is not hard to guess, a luminizer. So, as for face contouring you use a bronzer, a dark concealer and a light concealer, that while doing strobing, you will only highlight your face.
What are the advantages of strobing?
Thanks to a luminizer, your face gains more natural look, this can be taken for granted. What is more, when you use only one cosmetic, that it is way less possible to obtain highly unattractive mask-like effect that nobody wants to produce. Again, since only one cosmetic is required for performing this make-up style, it must be easy to apply. What is more, strobing defines ones beauty, gifts face with natural gleam and what is most important, suits every woman regardless her age and skin type. Additionally, this make-up style holds good during summer. You do not have to apply as many products as while face contouring. And as it is generally-known, the warmer the weather, the less colour cosmetics should be applied on a face.
Strobing make-up step by step
Before you put on any cosmetic, find a good light for your face. It is also a good idea to take a selfie in a dark room. The flash will point out the very parts of your face that have to be treated with a luminizer. When you have the picture with a map of your face, cleanse your complexion with a toner and start applying strobing.
Reach for your favourite BB cream and apply it on the face. If your face is covered with discolourations, acne or other imperfections, than use also a concealer or a make-up foundation. You can also use a powder if you want to. Now, choose the best luminizer – the cosmetic has to match your skin tone. Furthermore, check if the cosmetic is easy to apply and whether it holds long. O.K., so let us move on to the application itself. Put the luminizer on tip of the nose and chin, above the upper lip, above and underneath eyebrows as well as in inner corners of the eyes and underneath these. Now, reach for a wide and soft make-up brush and blend the cosmetic in order to make it almost invisible. Basically, it is advisable to complete the make-up with nude eye-shadows, a delicate lip gloss and a blusher.
