The 12 Best Highlighters For Strobing That Will Give You An Enviable Glow

If you're still on the fence about the strobing trend, here's why I'm into it: Instead of carving out your face like what traditional contouring does, strobing is all about highlighting features you're already in love with. Plus, if you have oily skin (like me), it means you can ditch the mattifiers if you want, because our natural skin is totally in. And what's more is, if matte products bore you, this trend basically requires shiny, shimmering products. Stay away from extremely glittery highlighters though. Strobing is more about emitting a natural-looking, lit-from-within glow. Not quite sure what to look for? Here are 12 highlighters that are perfect for strobing
