Strobe Cream Reviews

The MAC Strobe Cream in Pink Lite is a thin moisturiser consistency highlighter that adds a glittery sheen to your skin and is quite similar to the MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance.

Positives:
- natural looking highlighter with a hint of glitter
- can be used in multiple ways such as a moisturising primer, alone or mixed with foundation for a dewy look
- choice of 5 shades, you can choose a shade that best suits your skin tone
Negatives:
- not very pigmented
- more similar to a moisturiser then a cream highlighter

Recently I won this in a prize back from beautyheaven. Not going to lie, when it first arrived I had no idea what to do with it or what it was for and was a bit mystified by it and what specifically it was. After a few youtube videos I have seen just how versatile this product really is, especially for beauties like me with dry, dull skin. I have been using this product in a few different ways. As a kind of hybrid highlighter on make up free days, to give my skin some illumination. And under make up on those areas on areas that I don't want to be as matte (mostly cheekbones). It is a really handy product to give your sink a bit of a pop of life.

M.A.C Strobe Cream comes packaged in a squeeze tube and is available in a variety of shades, though my favourite is the original, which they've now labeled as 'Pinklite'. However, the cream doesn't produce a particularly pink finish.

The product has a moisturiser type feel and the white cream features a pearlescent finish. The formula is easy to blend into the skin and absorbs, leaving no residue on the skin.

I like to use Strobe Cream in two ways - the first is used as a primer under/ mixed into my foundation to give my base a natural, glowy finish that is not shimmery but instead, lit from within. The cream mixes well with liquid and cream foundation.

As a highlighter, I like to dab a few dots onto the high points of my face (cheekbones, brow bone, cupid's bow) and blend it in with my fingers to produce a gorgeous sheen. It applies well on top of foundation, doesn't cause the foundation underneath to shift and gives a natural finish as it melts into the foundation.

I have a travel sized strobe cream which is still a great size and I highly recommend if you have not tried this product. I have heard people use this alone but as I have oily skin I tend to stay away from any products that are too illuminating worn alone. I like to use this as a makeup base either mixed in with or before priming. I have also mixed this with my foundation for a more glowing look. After finishing my makeup, I use a damp sponge to add highlights to the high parts of my face and this blends so beautifully and gives a stunning glow!

I got a sample size of the strobe cream from a Black Friday Sale in MAC US. I’ve had it for a month and it’s got a long way to go. I wore this to a wedding, and although many suggest using it under foundation, I used this over foundation (Estee Lauder Double Wear) full coverage foundation. The reason was because I was more oily than normal in the tropics and I had to control how much glow I needed. It’s very easy to blend and has not caused me to breakout. Lasted the whole day of the event as well. I prefer this over my Becca Opal.

I bought this as I had read so many rave reviews about this product. Even though I have oily skin, I don't mind a glowy complexion. When I applied this it heft a very pearly sheen which I found just emphasised my imperfections. After applying a foundation on top and a powder I didn't anything amazing, it just looked the way my complexion looks after applying base makeup on top of my regular sunscreen. I also tried mixing this with Estee Lauder Double Wear to sheer out the coverage and that did work but just seemed like a lot of effort to make this product work for my skin.

Omg.... can we just talk about this product? This strobe cream is the most thick, luscious feeling cream I've ever slapped on my face and can we just say it offers the most beautiful, dewy glow to the skin. This product is absolutely amazing under foundation on a night out or just perfect for a no-makeup Monday! I bought this product in summer because I wanted to look glowy and fresh but I love it in winter as well as a refresher and subtle highlighter for my skin! I find it helps to lock in my makeup throughout the day (I use mine as a primer) and it comes in the most sleek, matte packaging! To be honest, the only bad thing I can say about this product is the fact it runs out so quick as it's quite pricey, although I heard a cool hack for this product is that you can purchase the smaller size strobe creams for a cheaper price per mill than the big ones!!!!

Healthy Young skin reflects the light, making it look radiant and glowing. Premature aged skin and more mature skin loses this ability and with it, the glow . Therefore, one can look even older than they are . This new hype brought the trend of "matte" looking finish, that ages even younger people.

So what one can do, if they have lost this natural glow of youth? Slather on MAC Strobe Cream on =D

My skin is combo. And even though I still have that glow, I love enhancing it even more! This strobe cream gives natural youthful appearance, without shine. No grease, just glow. How? The formula contains pigments that brighten the skin by bouncing off that light that healthy young skin would naturally do. Being ideal for dry and normal and combo skin, it contains moisurizing agents plus many antioxidants that are proven by research to benefit the skin topically.

After a good cleanse I apply this Strobe cream directly on, and over it MAC mineralize moisture foundation if going on a special event, just to look airbrushed and glam! If not, I use it on its own. My skin is hydrated, with that youthful glow, and when wearing it, I can not even see un-evenness on my face (I have fading pigmentation)

I had never heard of strobe cream before! I had a makeup appointment at mac and she put this on my face before applying my primer and then foundation, my makeup has never gone on so smoothly and it leaves a dewy (not shiny finish). I use this every day now under my primer, it is not heavy like a traditional moisturizer so it doesn't take ages to try and doesn't leave you as shiny as a glossy magazine cover! So versatile and easy to use.
