Forget Contouring; Try Strobbing
안녕하세요, readers!
Everyone knows the wonders of facial contouring. It can
really
change the way your face looks.

Contouring can make your face look slimmer, eyes bigger & deeper, nose narrower… Basically the possibilities are limitless.
A perfectly chiselled face is suddenly made achievable.
However here comes a new makeup method that makes contouring so yesterday. We know this as ‘strobbing’.
You might not find this word in the dictionary just yet… But we assure you, it’s legit. ;)
Unlike contouring which makes use of a bronzer and a highlighter…

Strobbing only requires the
highlighter
.
Contouring = Bronzer + Highlighter
Strobbing = Highlighter
This makeup method is totally raved because it captures light on the face that gives off a super radiant glow, making you look younger and healthier!

Unlike contouring, you won’t look like you’re trying too hard. It is the must-have method to use to achieve the ‘natural beauty’ look. Without the dark hues of a bronzer, your face will appear even more radiant.
By using the highlighter, you place some product on areas where you want to achieve volume and bring attention to!
You can use a myriad of highlighter products, but here are some favourites!

Here’s a standard guide to help you out. :)

Here’s the whole rationale behind highlighting those specific points in the guide -
01
Above & Below Eyebrow Arch:
This is to make your eyebrows seem higher. This will help in giving proportion to your face.
Inner Eyes:
Just between your eyes and your nose bridge; this area is super important in giving you a more ‘awake’ appearance by making your eyes look larger.
Outer Bottom of Eyes:
Like a complement to the ‘Inner Eyes’, this step also helps in enlarging your eyes in giving you a rather innocent and lively look!
02
Nose Bridge:
Well, this one is pretty well-known. It is great for giving the illusion of a higher, sharper and narrower nose! Your nose is the center of your face, so it has to look impeccable.
Cupid Bow:
By highlighting this part, you will make your lips look like it’s pouting and more defined - very sexy.
Chin:
This helps you elongate your face and give the illusion of a sharper face!
03
Cheekbones to Outer Eye:
This final step is often missed out by many, but it actually creates a very subtle yet noticeable difference. It will make your cheekbones appear higher and give you an overall more chiselled-looking face.
So store away your bronzer and be extra loving to your highlighter!
Get ready to look stunningly fresh and radiant with strobbing!
