First of all, I am not a makeup artist. I do not have any makeup qualifications, I just love makeup and trying out new products/techniques. 

Contouring has been a huge makeup trend for a quite a while now, so it's about time something new came along. Strobing is all about using light on its own, instead of shading/highlighting, to shape the face. A lot of different makeup terms get thrown around and it can end up being very confusing. However, strobing is actually something most people could do. 

I have used the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Primer under my foundation on the majority of the highpoints in my diagram, apart from the inner corner of my eye. I then used the Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer under my eyes and slightly on top of my cheekbones, as it is a great brightening concealer. For my powder highlight, I used the Makeup Revolution Goddess of Love highlighter everywhere I hae mapped out on the diagram, except the inner corner of my eye. I placed the highlight shade from Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette, in the inner corner, as it went better with the eyeshadow look I had on. 

Personally, I really love how this looks. I have very dry skin, so being able to add that glow to my skin, just makes it look healthy. I'm not sure how this would work on oily or acne-prone skin though. 

It looks like I am putting away the contour powder (for now!), and being all about that glow. 

What do you think about this trend?
