Short and Simple Review

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

Tips: it got the potent botanicals which is very good for the skin.. can use daily as it also work as treatment for the skin

Perfect for the right skin type

I loved this product when I first used it, but I found thta it started drying out my skin really badly. I had to stop using it because it would make my foundation a cakey mess.

I really think this was a skin type thing though - I gave the rest to a friend with oily skin and it was amazing for her.

Not for the oily

I love the feeling MAC Strobe cream when you put it on, It's fantastic! Smooth and satiny and leaves your foundation feeling utterly amazing on top of it.

However as an oily girl, this isn't for me! I found that an hour or so after application the product had slide a little bit and looked far brighter and shiny-er than it had originally, leaving my nicely highlighted cheekbones looking like I had gotten a little happy with the glitter paint.

This would probably work better for the normal-dry skin types.

Love it!

So best product from Mac I've ever used. I use this under my foundation or mixed in with my foundation to give me a dewy look. I have kinda oily skin but I still like to look glowy and this makes my foundation look fantastic and a bit more natural than a completely matte look. It's a bit pricey but I think it's completely worth it, even if you get the travel size to try it out

I wish it was more-long lasting

Strobe Cream. The name says it all, especially in a time where strobing seems to be the hottest makeup trend. I had heard about this product well before this trend set it, because it seems to be a product everyone refers to as their 'holy grail'.

Well firstly i have this product in both the sample size and the big bottle, but have only used the small one at this stage which comes in a soft plastic squeeze tube with a black flip top lid.

The strobe cream is a white luminous cream, and its quite thick, with a silky buttery feeling to it. Plus i love how it smells. It has a clean smell, and reminds me of soap, which i know sounds gross, but i love it.

This product is easy to apply onto skin, a little goes a long way, and the product spreads like a dream. Quickly hydrating skin, and giving it a luminous glow. However, by the end of the day, i really cannot seem to notice the glow, so its not as long-wearing as i would have hoped.

However, in saying that i tend to only use this product in a primer form, and im sure if i mixed it into my foundation, that would increase the glow, and how long it lasts. Plus i could also dab it onto of my cheekbones for an extra highlight, which is another great thing about this product. It can be used it so many ways.

Overall, i love the effect this product gives me skin, and will continue to use this product. But i might start layering it up more for longer wear, and for when i want to do the strobing look

Mac strobe cream

This is a great product I apply this before applying my foundation and find that it gives my skin a nice dewy look that looks more awake and fresh. It is a very lightweight as well. I have tried adding this product to my foundation but I didn't really notice it made a difference to my foundation which I found disappointing. Even I like to sometimes add it as a highlight which it does a good job at. Would love to buy the bigger bottle of this. Really good for dry skin as it moistens and hydrates the skin.

Strobe Cream

Quite a thick formula which can feel a bit yuck on your face. Sparkly and smooth which provides a perfect base to keep foundation on for a long time.

Tips: Need quite a bit in order to smooth it all over your face for full coverage

Not an essential

I recently purchased a travel sized strobe cream and am fairly happy with it. I think it does give my face a very subtle glow but possibly not much difference in appearance from just using a moisturiser. I don't think I will be rushing out to replace this once I have finished the product.

Tips: Purchase the travel size first to try it out before spending too much $ on this product.

Strobe Cream

I finally purchased this at duty free since I hesitated on splurging on this cult product. I'm glad I did though because I really like it.

It did take me a while to learn how to apply and use this on my face but after a few trials, I have found a way that works well. I apply this after my primer and under a cc cream and foundation. I find that it really gives me a nice glow without looking like a disco ball. It really brightens the face and gives me a dewy look.

The formula is quite think though and I only use a tiny bit. I don't like the packaging/bottle though. It's hard to squeeze the product out at times.

Overall, I think this is a great product. I'm not sure if I'll spend the $$ on it when I run out of my current one though. Maybe at a discounted price again but not for the NZ price at counter. It is pricey.

Fresh glow

After hearing how great this product is, I finally splurged out and bought it. I am not disappointed! It makes my skin look fresh and glowy :) I use it after my primer and before my foundation or I mix a little bit into my foundation for an extra glow. If I want my highlighter to really stand out I put some strobe cream on where I put my highlighter. I think it's a great product for summer as it makes my makeup dewy. Sometimes when I'm not wearing makeup but don't want to look like I am totally sick I put a bit on just to look a bit fresher. The bottle it comes in isn't so great. It's not squeezy so I'm not sure how hard it's going to be to get it out once it is coming to an end. It doesn't stand out like wow but o can't complain about the product inside. I will probably re purchase this once it ends
