4 Highlighter must-haves

Strobing is having a moment and the trend is continuing into 2017! Here, our top picks for achieving that angelic glow.

First up, what’s strobing?

It’s a technique where you apply illuminating or brightening products to the parts of your face that would catch the light.

Where do I apply the highlighter?

Focus on your cheekbones, the inner corner of your eyes, your Cupid’s bow above your lip, down the centre of your nose and the middle of your forehead. Then, blend, blend, blend to make it look natural.
