Missy Lynn gives us the lowdown on "strobing" and why it's making waves on Instagram.

Contouring isn't for everyone, and this alternative is a genius way to bring dimension to your face with the power of light. This technique is called "strobing," and has already been dubbed "the anti-contouring."
