Strobing highlights the high points of your face. It is done in such a manner that you do not need contour to make your cheekbones pop. Instead of using powders and shadows darker than the actual skin tone, strobing employs a dewy foundation, highlighter, and shimmery blushes under the eyes and on the cheekbones, brow bone, nose bridge, and temples to make the skin look radiant. Contouring, on the other hand, is an advanced technique in which you use bronzer and highlighter to shade the hollows of your cheeks, hairline, jawline, and sides of the nose and highlight the apples of your cheeks and the nose bridge.
