MAC Strobe Cream Review

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.

I liked the cream but it didn't look good on my face and it didn't seem good for price as I can get something exactly the same for cheaper from loreal. Everyone thinks it's amazing but honestly the only thing it did was make my face yucky and it didn't agree with my makeup at all. But then again everyone has preferences :)

This isn't really an everyday product (for me anyway) but I like to use it when my skin is pretty dry or dull looking. Im not sure how it photographs , but it looks really luminous in person. I wear it in place of moisturiser and under foundation. I don't think it would suit very oily skinned girls but for combo or dry skin, it is great because it smooths out dry patches and gives you a dewy look.

I love the mac strobe cream but it is a bit pricey. I find this product really nice on the skin and has a stunning glow too it, but the price does put me off slightly. I find this best to wear every now and then as it's great for a dewy look but I find matte is better :). By using it every now and then, I find it last me quite a long time & you only need a small bit to cover your face. It is a medium texture and is nice and creamy, so does not dry out your face.

This stuff is great for priming your skin before makeup. The pearly finish gave my skin a subtle glow and kept it moisturised. Granted, it is a bit on the pricey side but worth it.

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.

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

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.

I brought a travel size of this direct from MAC. I wanted to test it before investing that much money. I'm glad I did as while it's a nice product and I do like it, I'm not sure I'd want to spend any more on it. I am a huge dewy skin girl (like most dry skin girls are!) and yes, this does illuminate your skin. But I've achieved the same results from my L'oreal Lumi Magique primer. I'd be more inclined to recommend that and I plan on repurchasing the L'oreal primer whereas I don't want to repurchase the Strobe cream. It's not that it's a bad product, I just find it overpriced.

I wear it under my foundation or bb cream (or mixed in) I wouldn't use it alone as it kind of gives my skin a little too much glow but works well with my other base products. You don't need too much product, definitely less then a 10c piece (maybe half of that in my opinion). It's a white cream with no detectable scent.

It hasn't broken me out nor done anything magical too my skin. Maybe I'm being too harsh on it but for the price I expected something more then what my L'oreal product provides.
