Strobe Makeup

All girls dream of a perfect appearance, for which they resort to makeup, which is able to change the face beyond recognition. However, the vizazhe present fashion. Make-up, like any of its elements, is subject to the influence of stylists' inspiration in a particular season. In this regard, there was such a technique as strobe. For her invention, you need to thank Giambattista Valli, Chloé, Victor & Rolf, at whose shows in 2016 the models showed a radiant effect, which was later adopted by many celebrities, such as Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox, Beyonce, Madonna and many popular bloggers.

Such a make-up is based on the action of light, according to this principle all protruding facial areas are emphasized, and they are also emphasized with the help of brilliance and color. In the role of the main beauty tools act shimmers, highlighters, poods with glittering elements- Thanks to this, makeup will be created in just a couple of minutes. In addition, the natural radiance of the skin will be the highlight in the image and refresh it. One of the advantages is a light lifting effect, and even with strobing no active eye or lip makeup is required.

It is important to note that many girls confuse contouring and strobe. However, the first technique is the sculpture and careful drawing of all facial reliefs. Its goal is to maximize the contrast between the existing parts of the face, their adjustment, or drawing new, more elegant features. In addition, contouring actively uses clear lines that are unacceptable in strobing, where the contours should be shaded very carefully. This will make the image as natural as possible. How to do this will be covered in detail below, but first it is worth figuring out when you can resort to make-up “strobe”.

The most interesting make-up looks with evening lighting, because it attracts attention not only relief, but also shine. That is why strobe will be an indispensable tool in creating evening make-up, while it is not suitable for day care, as in the light of the sun's rays it will look like a shiny shine that looks unnatural and extremely unaesthetic.

A big mistake is the use of this technique in two cases. First of all, if there is a problem of rashes, redness and allergies, you first need to bring the skin into a healthy state, instead of trying to correct the situation, "masking" the imperfections of the skin.

Strobing is undesirable for those who have a fat face: there is a possibility that the makeup will spread on such skin, therefore, as in the case of pimples and irritations, it is better to prepare the face for applying this type of makeup.

Strobing does not require the talents and skills of top stylists, and also does not take much time: it is rather simple to perform it in a short time using the minimum amount of cosmetics, the most important of which is highlighter

Before you start creating a make-up in the "strobe" technique, you need to make sure whether you are in perfect condition, whether enlarged pores, acne and peeling are not visible. This is important because the makeup of this type will only emphasize the defects on the face.

1. Prepare the skin and apply a primer on the face and then a foundation.

2. Maximum mask the problem areas of the face.

3. Next, the following question may arise: how to choose the appropriate product.. It depends on which color type the appearance refers to. To avoid mistakes, owners of light-colored skin of cold shades may be advised to turn to neutral tones, such as creamy, beige, and cream-brulee. Those girls whose body and face are tanned or simply belong to warm tones should pay attention to the highlighter with a golden glow.

4. Illuminizer should highlight the places that will be emphasizedThese are usually those areas where a large amount of light falls: the T-zone, the cheekbones and the chin. Apply loose powder here.

5. Apply some cream highlighter to apples of cheeks and blendThus, get rid of the intense graphical lines.

6. Apply a small amount of product to the back and the tip of the nose.to create a soft glow effect. To achieve the perfect result will help brush.

7. Light shades with barely noticeable mother of pearl use for eyelids. In particular, apply them to the inner corner of the eye to visually open the eyes, and under the eyebrow to make its bend more expressive.

8. If you want to make the lips more full and sensual, highlight the so-called "Cupid's bow" (arc above the upper lip) cream illuminator. Thanks to the play of light in this zone, the lips will look more spacious.

9. In the make-up of lips it is more expedient to use matte lipstick., which will not create additional brilliance, otherwise the face will turn out to be bold, and the image will be repulsive.

10. Fix the received make-up with a special tool or powder with the lightest coverage. However, do not use matte textures. They will overlap all the work done earlier in a dense layer, and no luminescence will be visible.

• Women with dry skin should use cream textures.. The owners of the combined perfectly fit crisp foods. As mentioned above, those who have a tendency to increase the fat content of the face, this type of makeup is highly recommended.
• It is better to apply the highlighter with soft, patting movements in a circle.. This is important to remember in order to create only a light, natural glow. Failure to comply with this advice will lead to excessive gloss due to the fact that many cosmetics have a fairly intense coating.

• Use cosmetics only with natural light.: this will allow you to correctly place accents on the face and not to overdo the application of textures. Remember that daylight and artificial are very different, which affects the reflection and brightness of makeup.
• Do not do active eye makeup while strobe, as the essence of this style is to create the most discreet, delicate look. Brightly focused eyes will attract too much attention to this single zone, which directly contradicts the technique of moderate and natural make-up.

• We must not forget about the external features, such as the shape of the facewhich plays a key role in placing light accents and emphasizing the individual structure of the face.

• When playing age makeup, you should not resort to the style of strobing, because the aging process adversely affects the condition of the skin in the form of loss of elasticity, wrinkles and enlarged pores. This kind of make-up’a will only underline the imperfections described, and, in turn, will make the appearance vulgar.
• For best results, use a set of brushes., mandatory of which is a large soft brush for feathering and a thin small brush to create the thinnest shimmer coating.

• An interesting fact is that strobe is applied not only to the face, but also to the body.. If desired, you can simulate open areas (for example, neckline), you can put a little money on the clavicle to visually emphasize them and make them more elegant.

Among the powdery highlaters, L'Oreal "Alliance Perfect" is considered one of the best., which is an illuminator and blush - "two in one". The tool will create a soft, beautiful glow and emphasize the original elegance. The product is also remarkable for the ratio of affordable price and high quality.

On the other hand, NYX's “Born to Glow Liquid” stands out from the whole “cream” series., which won a huge number of fans around the world thanks to the creation of a gentle radiance due to the smallest particles of mica and shimmer. The texture of this tool is dense and quickly sets on the skin, so the make-up lasts a long time.

With careful adherence to the recommendations and proper reproduction of this technique, the skin will look well-groomed and healthy.
