I have a thing with liquid highlighters at the moment. For those who like more of a dewy look to their skin, this is the way to go. It can be used al over the face or in certain areas (like above the cheek bone as I mainly do). For the price of this product, you certainly get a lot of wear out of it as I find less is more. I've personally had mine since 2011! Will definitely repurchase and am also very keen to try the Strobe Lotion (a more liquid, lightweight version of the Strobe Cream).

Tips: As mentioned above, less is more. You don't want to over do it and look greasy or too glowy.
i love this cream, i always apply it under my foundation and it always gives me a brighter look to my skin, leaves it moist and dewy appearance. I have quite dry skin as my acid mantle is recovering from the use of the wrong products and this helps to hydrate my skin
When I need a little pick me up I use this under my every-day makeup instead of a primer and also at nights if I'm going out as it makes my skin look glowy and all around amazing.. and of course keeps my foundation looking flawless :)
A little goes a long way so even though its not the cheapest product out there a tube does last for ages! I apply it with a foundation brush so I can use as little as possible.
Expensive, but worth the pennies if your foundation looks flat and tired. It instantly illuminates your skin and gives it a nicer base to put your foundation on.
I love it! Gives a healthy glow to the skin, easy to apply and not harsh at all. Love that I was able to buy a small tube as I was a first time user so wasn't 100 % sure about it but once I have finished I will be buying he larger tube
As much as I love MAC products, I really wasn't that happy with this product. I tried the version in the pump bottle which I think is a runnier consistency to the one in the tube so perhaps that was the reason why I didn't enjoy it. For the price, it really didn't do what I wanted it to but I may try the thicker version next time to see if that makes a difference.
Tips: I used this both over and under my foundation - under at the beginning of the day when I first applied my foundation and then later in the day for a pick me up, I applied to my cheekbones.
I have always heard and read about this cream and HAD to try it out! Let me tell you, from my illuminating face, to yours...it is a beautiful product. Apart from the obvious fact that it highlights my face, it has so much goodness jam-packed into it that will de-stress, moisten and freshens my otherwise dull, dry and boring skin. If there ever was an item that I would repurchase on this earth, it would be this product. All you need is a tiny amount to rub around your face and then sit back and watch the magic happen.
I brought this last year. Its pretty pricey for the amount of product you get, And although i absolutely love the way it looked on my skin and the sheen it gave through my faoundation.It makes you skin look super glowy, healthy but natural. It doesnt give that glittery sheen, its very natural. My problem with the product is that i dont think its suited to oily skin :( unfortunately it broke my skin out pretty bad. I gave it away to a freind (who has normal skin) and she absolutely loved it! so personally it didnt work with my oily skin. but for a normal or dry skin i think id be great for you if you like that dewy finish.
Tips: You can apply it as a base or mix it in with your foundation for a more glowy effect. I would suggest its not really for an oily skin type (or it may just be me ) try get the travel size first and give that ago before spending that much on the full size only to find its not right for you
Omg I feel like Greek goddess with this on, it highlights my face a little and brightens up my face. The only issue I have with this product is that smell! You can't smell it after 2 minutes of having it on so it's no big deal but every time I get a whiff ! It grosses me out haha. Other than that love this product, it gives me a bit more moister as my skin has been super dry! Lately :( lol
Tips: I apply with hands, I think it's just easier. But I have seen some people apply with a clean paddle foundation brush along with their primer. It's really upto YOU! Personal preferences :) xx
This is a great cream to apply underneath your foundation. It helps the foundation to give a dewy or more natural looking finish. This product also helps to nourish the skin. Highly recommended.
Tips: I normally mix some strobe with my MAC Studio Fix Fluid to thin it done a little, this helps the foundation to spread evenly and gives a dewy finish. On no make-up days I just apply strobe to the high points of my cheeks as highlighter.
