I wanted to try strobbing. I usually go for a matte look but I just its. I don't think it's for me I have large pores and all the highlighters make it look worse. But these are the products and techniques I used.

. I applied maybelline baby skin primer to clean skin. I then applied air spun loose powder on top. I used tape and applied it under my eyes, slatting towards my brows. I user bh cosmetics waterproof concealer in fair as my lid primer. I then used the bh cosmetics party girl pallette. I applied a light matte brown to my crease with a fluffy brush, blending it well. I then packed matte dark brown on my lid with a flat brush, then blended it with the fluffy brush. I finally packed black right at my lash line, and once again blended it. I then applied the dark brown to my lower lash line and blended it.
. I applied maybelline matte and poreless foundation in ivory with a flat top brush to my entire face. I applied maybelline age rewind concealer in medium light to my under eyes. I used air spun powder and lightly set my makeup. I then used pixie single eyeshadow in glow as my highlighter. I applied it to my cheek bones, forehead, cupids bow and down the center of my nose with a fan brush. Making sure to blend well with a fluffy powder brush.
. I used physicians formula brow n tweeze in dark brown and lightly filled in my brows. Brushing through with a spool brush Setting it with maybelline brow gel. I applied prestige lip crayon in plum to my lips, then applied loose powder on top to make it matte. Any critiques or tips is much appreciated.

I really love your eye look paired with that lippie!
I've only tried a few brands of highlighters and so far I feel the same as you. They all just seem to make my large pores and texture on my cheeks stand out so much that I don't care for it on myself, your look is very pretty though and I like it a lot.

Why did you put the Airspun powder before your foundation?

It's a tip from Wayne Goss. it helps your foundation stay longer and is supposed to help minimize pores
