What are your thoughts on these techniques and which do you prefer??

I think it depends on the individual face. If you have a long thin face for example, strobing would probably look better. But a fuller face may want to slim it down with contouring and highlighting. Also, for me , it depends if I'm in a rush, I'll just strobe.

Its honestly basiclly the same techniques. Strobing is just a more intens highlight!

I like a very subtle highlight but I feel like most highlighting products out there makes you look like a disco ball haha!

I think the only difference is whether or not you contour. Strobing is literally when you just highlight the face and you don't contour at all. For me if I don't contour then I don't then I don't use my highlighter so I don't strobe.

I guess I just strobe then! I just don't like contouring everyday personally, just because it takes too long. As far as everyday looks go, I still sweep a highlighter on, even if I don't contour; but I don't highlight the same way as I would when
I contour. I don't really have preference other than I like a dewy face for everyday...

I don't have a face for strobing really, and I personally think my face looks dirty when I've done it. I've tried with several different products too, with the same results. I like to highlight and do almost everyday!
