Shine Bright Like A
Diamond

T
his summer, you will be seeing beauty girls gleaming from across the way. It
may look hard to achieve that perfect glow, but all it takes is the right tools and
products. We want you to be shimmering along, so here’s our guide to strobing!
HOW
Dabbing the product on your face with your finger and buffing it out with a damp
beauty blender gives me the blingiest light. A fan brush’s main purpose is to highlight
your face and it does work well, but it gives me more of a subtle glow. ELF Cosmetics
has this bomb highlighting brush that’s only $6! Check out our makeup brush guide in
the last April Issue!
WHERE
There are a few spots on the face when strobing: the highest part of your cheekbones,
right above your brows, the inner tear duct of your eyes, the tip of your nose, and
your cupid’s bow. Look at the picture of Desi Perkins. Every spot where the light hits
is hella highlighted.

WHAT
Make sure to pick a shade that works well with your skin tone. You can’t really go
wrong with going light, but doing darker than your tone can look a bit off. My skin is
very fair and I had used ColourPop’s Butterfly Beach and girllllll.. It looked like I had
applied contour powder and bronzer in the wrong spots! Here are a bunch of great
highlighters that range from $4 to $40! Super affordable and great color payoff.
The ABH kit is $40, but you get four highlighters so it’s like $10/shade.l
