Contour seems to have officially gone by the way of the dodo bird in the eyes of the beauty community. The up and coming trend that everyone is talking about now *drum roll please* STROBING!
What is strobing you ask ?
Well strobing is essentially highlighting your face, but with a new and improved name ;)
To strobe your face like a pro, you will need:
1. Your foundation/ BB Cream / Tinted moisturizer of your choice
2. A concealer 1 - 2 shades lighter than your foundation
3. A blending brush or sponge
4. Setting powder
5. Highlight powder
Start as always by prepping your skin as you normally would (wash, moisturize, and prime)
Once your skin has been prepped, apply the foundation of your choice. For this look something with a dewy finish would be better over something matte. The whole idea behind this look is glowing dewy skin. Set your foundation with your setting powder of choice.
Next you're going to apply the lighter concealer in your highlight areas: The forehead, the brow bone, below the eyes, on the cheek bones above the apples of the cheek, cupid's bow, chin, and lastly below the cheekbone, under where you would normally contour your skin
Now you're going to blend, blend, and then blend some more. Using your sponge or brush, you're going to disperse the colour of the concealer onto your face. You should be left with a slightly lighter complexion on the places you've put the concealer.
Finally you're going to have to set the concealer on your face. For this step I like to use the mineralize skin finishes from MAC, but any highlight powder will do. Pick up a small amount of the highlighter on your powder brush and sweep it across the areas you just placed the concealer.
With fall right around the corner I like to finish this look by adding a pop of pink blush onto the apples of my cheeks and a dark vampy lip.
Et Voila, a beautiful fall look to keep your makeup game on point.
Go get 'em you trendsetter you.
Stay tuned for my next tutorial post: Ombré lips for fall.
