STROBING is highlighting the higher planes of your face for a dewy look. It is the new contouring and the idea is to have natural looking, dewy and glowy skin but if not done right it can go from dewy to looking sticky and sweaty in seconds. Strobing must be done on moisturize and hydrated skin so that the highlighter goes on flawlessly, therefore you must prep your skin before layering on product. Pick a highlighter that complements your skin tone to avoid looking ashy.
Only highlite spots that catch light i.e the high points of your face which are your cheek bones along with your temples, down the bridge of your nose, blow your brow bone, inner corners of your eyes, above your cupid's bow and center of your chin. This will enhance your natural features. Don't spread the product all over your face, or else you'd end up looking greasy.
If you have oily skin skip the areas like your forehead and chin which tend to shine already and as the day progress and choose a matte formula for your other makeup(foundation, blush, powder)
