Strobing Step 2: Apply Your Face Makeup
Strobing Step 2: Apply Your Face Makeup Because the goal is to be as glowy as possible, you want your base makeup to have a dewy finish versus a matte one. If your skin tends to get oily, choose a semi-matte foundation. That said, your skin should be in really good shape (or at least appear to be in really good shape) to avoid having the highlighter enhance things like acne or scarring, so choose your foundation and concealer coverage accordingly. Keep your blush and bronzer matte to really make the shimmer pop.
