Nice and Hydrating

I like this cream as a pre makeup cream, very hydrating and makeup sits well on it. I also use it occasionally as a highlighter after makeup on high cheek bones and above lips in the cupids bow.

Tips: Less is more, its easy to build up but too much applied to hard to cover up!

Beautiful finish!

I have used Strobe cream for years; it soaks in easily, makes a great base for makeup, and works as a great highlighter. I wouldn't use it as an every-day moisturiser, but it's great as an instant fix (which is exactly what it's meant to be!)

Tips: A little goes a long way, which is good because this stuff is expensive.

I fear never having this product.

This is my favourite make up item ever! It gives me anxiety when I go below a quatre of the tube left.. A little goes a long way with this. Its so hydrating and holds your make up for a good 8 hours looking fresh.

Tips: Squueze gently! A little is more than enough!

Must have product

I use this as a base before my foundation and it gives a lovely dewey finish... it can also be used above foundation for more of a highlighter/illuminator look :)

Sounds like a great product. Would this be an equivalent of a makeup primer?

Favorite makeup item!

This is a must have for me! It goes on lovely on my dry skin, absorbs instantly, hydrates like anything! It's a great primer and preps the skin. I like mix a wee bit in my foundation. It prevents that caked on look. It works great as highlighter at high points. Looks super natural. Its a true multipurpose product.

Tips: Caution: It's so easy to overdo it!

This makes me want to try it! :P But it's so expensive for such a little tube. Is it similar to l'oreal lumi magique or visibly better than that?

MAC Strobe Cream

aah MAC Strobe Cream where would we be without you? Gotta love this stuff, it's actually amazing. On it's own on a makeup free day to give your skin a healthy glow, or a layer applied under or mixed in with foundation. Has pinky pearl pigments that illuminate the skin and give it the glow. It's not a moisturiser, but it glides on easily, is well absorbed and your skin does feel nourished.

Tips: Use a foundation brush to apply it, just adds to achieving a perfect look. Maybe not always so good on an oily complexion, or someone with a lot of red in their skin.

Not my favourite highlighter

I bought this product a while ago and have played around with it but can't seem to get on with it.. I can see why people love it..it has a beautiful feel but I just find it a bit too shimmery for me. A little bit goes a very long way and if I put it on my cheek bones I find it hard to blend without ruining my foundation and it ends up in a bit of a line and doesn't look all that natural. Maybe I just haven't got the hang of applying it yet! But still found it too much of a pearly white shine. Also, when I bought it the sales lady on the beauty counter said to not use it daily as it's a strong product and could dry your skin out, which totally contradicts the description saying it moistens skin and is full of vitamins.. I'm a little confused..I will persevere with this product but doubt I'll be repurchasing.

Love this product, perfect as a primer

I struggled with primers etc, it just seemed like another step making getting ready all the more tricky and time consuming. But I was in MAC and saw this product and as a dedicated MAC girl I thought I would give it a try and I have never looked back.

Tips: Wear on makeup free days for a healthy glow or under your foundation for longer lasting makeup

My Fave Beauty Product of All Time!

This is a must in every girls bathroom cabinet.. it makes skin look and feel alive and invorgated... I use it when my skin is feeling and looking tired and dull and it always makes me feel better! I got given a bottle as a gift after I had my first baby.. it really helped my skin during those first few months when NOTHING can hide those very tired and dull looking eyes!!!

Tips: This is a perfect gift for any soon to be mums x

Wonder Product!

MAC Strobe Cream is a wonder product. Whether you use in on your skin after moisturising just to add a little glow, or mix it in with your foundation to add a something extra, or even if you just use it on your cheekbones and brow bone to highlight and accentuate - this product is so versatile! It is a gorgeous addition to anyone's make up bag and I can guarantee you will never regret it!
