MAC Strobe Cream Review

I love strobe cream, i find it very smooth and hydrating under my foundation, however it isnt a primer, i use a primer first and usually mix it with my foundation and it give the healthiest highlight/Glow! very pretty, the only thing i would have to say is that it smells a little odd. apart from that i love it!

Absolutely love this! It is advertised as a moisturiser, but it makes for the perfect hydrating, luminous primer as well! Comparable to garner lump magique without the metallic glittery finish, you look glowy and gorgeous! Thick formulae, but it spreads well and evenly without an oily feeling, one of the best purchases from Mac!

I use this every day, even if I'm not wearing make up i put it on after moisturizer to make my skin look fresh and vibrant. It really illuminates the skin and brightens your whole face! When wearing it with foundation it just illuminates from beneath the foundation and still brightens your look a lot. It's perfect for all ages, my mum loves this product too! It almost looks like pearls when its on your hand and then when rubbed into your skin it creates a dewey base or healthy glow. DEFINITLY worth the price tag there is no product quite like this! Its a beautiful creamy texture and quite thick so no product is wasted, and a little goes a long way!

A very good moisturizer/primer that practically glides on the skin and really primes the skin for a smooth base for makeup. It has a faint smell that is not overpowering. When I put it on my face, I really notice the illumination effect and dewy look that it gives. The only thing is after using it everyday for 3 weeks, I could feel my skin feeling a bit oilier. I subsequently decreased my usage of it from daily to about 3 or 4 days a week and my skin seem to be reacting well to it. It could be due to my skin being combination/oily that this happened. All in all though, I still like this strobe cream for the brightening and illumination effect with its smooth application.

I bought this product for it's subtle 'dewy skin' effect, to use underneath and on top of my MAC foundation. It's secondary benefits are the moisturising ingredients which work quite well.

The only thing I don't like is this blocks the pores on my nose, but only when it's quite hot and humid outside.

I bought this product about a month ago and been using it almost every day before my makeup. I notice such a difference and how much better my makeup looks and goes on. ITs very moisturising for my skin, which is good comming out of winter.

I was pretty damn excited to try this product. It has a massive hype surrounding it and even the BR beauties have written rave reviews. I decided that a trip to Wellington was the perfect excuse to hand over my $67 in return for a healthy glow that would have everyone complimenting my skin.

I tried this product every way I could think of. I applied it underneath my foundation, mixed it with my foundation and applied it on my cheekbones over top of my foundation. I couldn't see a thing. There was no magical glow, no healthy sheen, and it seemed nobody else saw anything either.

I stopped using this product not just because it didn't do anything for me, but because it interfered with my makeup application. My makeup just wouldn't sit well on top of it, and I would end up with patchy foundation.

I'm also not a fan of the packaging. Although it is sleek and scream 'MAC,' it was very hard to squeeze the product out and too much product was dispensed every time. You also can't see when you are getting low. Because the tube is quite difficult to squeeze, I question whether the last remnants of product will be able to be squeezed out.

Perhaps my full coverage foundation just won't let the glow shine through. Perhaps it just doesn't suit my normal/combination skin that isn't dull or flat. Perhaps, unlike everyone else, I just can't see the glow that is created by the strobe cream.

I was expecting the MAC strobe cream to make me look extra healthy, bright and glowy and I saw no difference. I certainly prefer to use powder highlighters to achieve my glow.

I really love this product! I bought it without really knowing too much about it but it applies so smoothly and has a beautiful pearl sheen that leaves you glowing but not sparkly. My foundation applies really well on top of it also and seems to last really well. I'd recommend this product :)

I have the sample/ travel size of this because if you purchase this from MAC's official site, you will realise that by purchasing two sample sizes of strobe is much cheaper than purchasing the full size. I know, crazy right. I don't really think this is meant to be a primer, but I know most people use it as one. I love love love the smell of this little cream, it reminds me of my Estee Lauder day time moisturiser (forgot the actual name okay) smells like melons! Yum! Upon application my face looks lovely and dewy, however one hour later I'm sitting there looking like a grease ball. I blot and blot and I powder and powder but oil continues to drips off my face. I really wanted to like this but it's just too oily for me. In the end it just ruins my makeup :(.

Best suitable for - dry and normal skin Best contain in - 200% hydrating ..........( you probably used a lot of moisturiser or primer but this product is best of the best you can get from market.......) Unique - like all the other products from the market have nude shades, this creams leave a pink colour to your scene which look like nature and you look younger bcoz of the pinky shade
