The Art of Strobing


Have you heard of strobing before? Probably not as it's only become a big thing in the past couple of months, so much so that its dubbed to be even more flattering than contouring and much much easier!!
So here's the definition: The new way to define facial features and create a gorgeous glow, strobing is about highlighting the face using light and only light.
It's supposed to create the effect similar to that of an actual strobe light (hence the name). The best part!? It's super quick and easy to do! And a absolutely great product designed specifically for this new trend is MAC's strobe cream
MAC strobe cream £24.50

But if like me you don't want to splash the cash and only want to try it out then the high street offers some great cheap alternatives, such as the collection highlighting stick (4.99, boots) and MUA undress  me powdered highlighter (£3.99, superdrug) which is my favourite combo! As the collection cream highlighter is soglowyand fresh with out being sparkly (great on its own) but if you really want to push the boat out if you're going on a night out or just anywhere special add a little bit of the MUA undress me highlighter which will just give it a whole other dimension and make your skin all glowy and gorgeous!
At the moment I'm really loving the in your face glowy highlighter (but not glittery!), I know it's not to everyone's taste but there's just something about this technique that makes your skin look so healthy and flawless
 
Thanks for reading!

Romantic FOTD

 
  
 





 
 
 
 Today I just went for a really simple look and as it is the season of love I thought I'd incorporate some subtle pinks shades; for the eyes I just used Maybelline's colour tattoo in Pink gold to give a light wash of colour that won't crease and paired it with winged liner (of which I am incredibly proud of it only took me 20 minute! but I think I might just be getting the hang of this whole "cat eye" malarkey, it only took me 4 years!) I think this gives a really romantic/sleepy looking eye. As blush is going to be a big focus this S/S I used Sleek's blush in Rose Gold (not pictured above as I have lost it somewhere in my bedroom about 5 minutes after I used it -_- I'm forever losing things) This blush give a lovely flush of colour and because it has a lil' bit of glitter it also gives off a lovely glow!
 

 I actually really love this make up look, it's simple but fresh and took less than 40 minutes! (always a winner in my book) I have a feeling I'll be wearing my make up like this for a while!
Let me know what you think of the look!
what are your favourite everyday products?
