Maybelline's NEW Master Strobing Collection

Strobing is something I've seriously gotten into over the past year. For those unaware of what 'strobing' actually is, it is makeup terminology for using cream or liquid products to accentuate the areas of the face that naturally reflect light (i.e. the cheekbones, cupid's bow and brow bones). Whenever there are new highlight/strobing product releases, I am always one to cave in a buy something from the collection - I am honestly like a magpie and instantly attract to anything that shimmers or glows. After everyone had been hyping over the new Maybelline Master Strobing products, I knew I had to get my hands on them. Fortunately, the incredibly generous team of girls at Maybelline kindly allowed me to try their beautiful new range so I thought I would share my honest, genuine opinion on both their strobing liquids and strobing stick.

Strobing Liquids 

Something I've never quite ventured into on the makeup front is liquid highlighter. I always tend to opt for a classic powder or if I want to be super glowy I'd pop a cream highlight underneath with powder on top. How did I not realise the power of strobing liquids? These Maybelline beauties are an absolute dream to work with. The first and lightest shade is an iridescent shimmer - the champagne-toned product is extremely brightening, uplifting and makes me feel like a glowing goddess. With a gorgeous white/silver reflective glitters catching the light, this shade is all you need for a glamorous evening out or any special occasion to make you feel confident. Alternatively, for a more peachy glow and your cheeks to pop in the summer months, medium/nude is the perfect shade for you. A stunning deep pink that not only brightens your face but injects colour and life into your complexion. This will work wonders in the warmer months due to the pink undertones; however, will be the perfect pick-me-up in winter to draw warmth to the face. I also found these strobing liquids work perfectly combined with foundation - a balance between glow and coverage is something that really completes my base makeup during summer, and these liquids are the ideal product to do so.

Strobing Stick

If you are a huge fan of cream products, strobing with the new Maybelline Face Studio Illuminating stick is definitely something to purchases. The formula for cream products is so difficult to create - concocting the desired balance between longevity, blend-ability and pigmentation is something that has proven to be very hard to find in the makeup industry. However, Maybelline have managed to create the perfect formula to illuminate your cheekbones, cupid's bow and all the high points of your face. With a single swipe onto each area of interest, this strobing stick is blended out in seconds - dabbing lightly with my finger usually works best with cream products and blending this out is such a dream. I cannot wait for people to buy this and realise how incredible it really is - for only £7.99, it is super inexpensive and definitely something to look into for the coming summer seasons!

Have you tried anything from the Maybelline strobing range? Which product would you like to try if not?

Lots of love
