A far cry from the dance halls of 90s rave culture, strobing is quickly replacing contouring as the top beauty trend. Luminescent, illuminating powders are our favourite form of strobe and we love what these fancy highlighters can do to our ever-so-slightly-sullen pre-summer complexions. We love Hourglass’s Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder because it avoids the heavy metallic finish of certain illuminators and sits on the surface of the skin as a light, silken powder that naturally captures the surrounding light.

In four, flattering shades – beige, gold, soft pink and peach– that will suit a good range of skin tones, the powder can be swept gently over the cheeks, nose and brown-bone after applying a base or used wet to build up colour. Grab your glow sticks and get ready for the light show.

Hourglass's Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder is available online at Liberty and NET-A-PORTER.
