I was on my laptop looking for tips on contouring , and I came across this article on the "new makeup trend of 2016". It's called sun stripping. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've never heard of this before today. From looking at some pictures of this trend it seems like you apply bronzer to the upper part of your cheeks and across the nose. I'm not really sure of what I think of it yet lol. What do you ladies think of this "sun stripping"?

Looks pretty dumb to me, like an obvious line of orange on her face. However it does make her look a little glowy and bronzed imo. Never heard of this.

I thinks it's supposed to give you that sun tan/ light burn look when you go to beach and forget to apply sun block on your face.

I think she just looks sunburnt. Personally I wouldn't do it.

I personally don't think it looks too great as well, but hey I already am extremely red on my cheeks and nose from hereditary (kinda looks like I wore ski goggles and got sunburnt) so if this becomes a huge trend then I won't have to worry about it anymore!!XD.

I've been looking at more pictures of it and it just looks stupider and stupider every time... Officially not fan lol.

That's kind of one of the areas you'd normally put bronzer, including the forehead and chin then you could apply your contour product under your cheekbone, sides of nose and sides of your forehead.

I think the color they used is a bit off the first girl it looks more like blush was used and gives a sunburnt look.
The second girl it look quite orange so maybe that's part of the trend? To look sunburnt? Not really fond of it.

This is less of a new technique than strobing was. you apply bronzer to the highpoints of the face where the sun would naturally hit and give color to. this technique is nothing new or crazy. along the cheeks, the bridge of the nose, the chin, the temples, are all places that bronzer normally goes anyways when bringing warmth to the face (all depending on the face shape) overdoing and underblending it (as strobing was to highlighting) is the new trend of it all.

Aurora I think I agree that the shades they chose are what's throwing it off more than anything. just couldn't put my finger on it.

I guess if someone wanted to look more natural it might be okay? I don't know. I wouldn't do it. If I wanted to look that natural I wouldn't spend so much money on products to alter my appearance, lol.

I actually don't mind it, if it's done correctly it could give the illusion of a natural sun tan :) also adding freckles would look nice

I think it looks nice, though more of a pinkish to red version would be better in my eyes. Pretty much if it was more 'extreme' by general standards.

It looks like a real sun tan/burn and I think that's the point of it - when I get tan from being outside those areas usually get dark on me first cause I have high cheek bones and a pronounced nose - so I think it looks fine just another way to apply bronzer as opposed to the E and 3 methods - which can look like a fake attempt at contouring sometimes - so I think this looks more natural so I like it :)

I like the placement but the colours a bit off. I usually apply my bronzer this way.
I'm actually in the market for a new bronzer. What do you ladies think would be the right bronzer or bronzer shades for this kind of placement to make it the most convincing/ natural?

I like it, because it is where the sun would naturally hit you, although I agree, that it is the wrong color. It looks like a blush color. It could look beautiful if done lightly and with the proper bronzer color for her skintone. Plus, this is not a new look, and I think it's silly that everyone is trying to label everything like it's a new thing, when it's been around for years. I've done this look with bronzer and then very carefully applied a little Nars Exhibit A (intense red blush) on top of it for that , just came from the beach look.

I think the examples don't give it justice, I actually like using this technique once in a while and people always tell me that I look so sunkissed and healthy.
These examples show a very harsh and unblended version of this look but it really can make you look very youthful if used correctly.
I use a bright red blush ( Nars Exhibit A) and I use it very lightly with my synthetic fluffy fan brush under my eyes and lightly over the bridge of my nose. Of course I complementizer the look with bronzer.
Marleen, we think alike!! ;)
Actually this look is popular in Japan.
Sorry they're calling me atm and I need to go but I'll be back with the example in a couple minutes.

Asia, we do not tolerate swearing on BL.

I agree with Breeze and Charli. The examples are a bit harsh but this seems like a great alternative for skipping out on sunscreen. I looked up some softer examples on the Internet and it looks very nice.

I do this with my blush...I like the way it looks on me. It's a little bit quirky but that's how I roll.
