BEAUTY BAR: Soft and Subtle Highlights

March 24th, 2017 at 2:00am

March is here and the spring season is fast approaching Fashionistas/os! The one beauty tip that can complement this upcoming weather is using a technique called strobing.  Contouring can be harsh on the face and make it look too chiseled, which looks better during the fall and winter seasons. To get that glowy, sun kissed look, perfect for the spring and summer months, it’s essential to practice strobing.

Strobing is a technique using highlighter and blush across key points on the face to create a dewy, shimmery, and more youthful glow.  This Fashionista perfectly rocks the new trend and keeps the rest of her makeup simple using just winged liner, filled brows, and a pink pouty lip, which completes the look.

Her outfit plays off of the same glowy, pink accents her makeup shows and she incorporates one of the biggest staple pieces this spring: denim. Wearing denim cuffed jeans and a denim jacket, she casually pulls off the daring denim on denim look. The pink shirt underneath with bold lace details and scarf, incorporating colors like gray and pink, ties the whole look together. To add a little balance to the look, classic black shoes finish the outfit off.

This makeup and outfit combo is perfect for any casual occasion. Contour is usually a go-to, but this will easily turn into the next big beauty routine. My favorite part of this overall look is that it’s daring, using a makeup technique that isn’t normally used and wearing all denim. But, this Fashionista still rocks it because she’s confident about herself in it. With a little confidence and highlighter, anything is possible!
