You will all remember my article on the trend of "Nude Make-Up"For the year 20015/2016 (link) true? Here is a variation strobing. A technique that enhances the light points of the face, stores the shadow areas and obscures others, thus highlighting the cut of the eyes and, if necessary, the contour of the lips. By Ines Petrelli (Facebook - Instagram - Blog).
The strobing is a technique already used in the 80s and 90s by many pop stars among which Madonna, Blondi is Cindy Lauper. Like any trend, however, it often leaves the time it finds, only to come to terms years later powerfully and with new verve. Again the "Make-Up"Has a very natural effect, almost absent but unlike the"Nude Look"It can be emphasized around the eyes and lips.
How to achieve this effect on the face?
Simple, with one illuminating pen (in stick format) it acts in strategic points where the light falls, or on cheekbones, on the temples, nose, forehead, eyebrow arch, chin and cupid's arch. On the cheekbones you have to choose onenuance"According to the complexion and not to your personal taste, the general rule recommends the use of cold pastel tones for light skins and warmer shades such as peach for darker ones.
It is possible to use powders, liquid creams or sticks, the important thing is to focus on light points. Thus, even in the days when our skin will appear neglected, we will be able to bring some vitality to our face and get that much loved glamorous effect that we observe on “fashion magazine“.
A mistake very frequent duringSelf Make-Up"(To be avoided at all costs) is to highlight the nasal areaIn fact, if you have a rhinoplasty nose then no problem, but unfortunately Mother Nature has given this feature to few of us, so it is always better not to highlight the makeup in that area.
The strobing Make-Up is really the trend of the moment, however only because everyone talks about it does not mean that it is advisable for every type of face or skin. For those who suffer from hyper-sensitivity is allergy or has a "face skins" easily irritable (as in cases of very oily skin) it is absolutely to be avoided because it would highlight an area that is already very shiny and tend to be more exposed.
The secret of a winning make-up?
Emphasize our strong points and draw attention away on small imperfections. The makeup must always be a accessory for a woman and not the fundamental element, therefore giving light to the face (as a photographic flash would do) is essential to capture beauty, but the final result must always appear uniform.
I personally limit the "Make-Up"To the four fundamental points of the face, that is the forehead, the chin, the cheekbones and the lips. At this point it is sufficient to blend the whole with small circular movements for a really natural effect.
