Strobing Step 3: Find Your Light
Strobing Step 3: Find Your Light "If contour is about finding the shadows on your face and emphasizing those shadows, strobing is about highlighting all the top points and catching the light to emphasize the high spots," says McAdams.

"America's Next Top Model"), McAdams says to look at your face in the mirror in natural light and notice where the sun naturally catches it -- those are the high planes of your face that you want to emphasize: your upper cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of your nose, your cupid's bow and your chin.
