I really love this product! I bought it without really knowing too much about it but it applies so smoothly and has a beautiful pearl sheen that leaves you glowing but not sparkly. My foundation applies really well on top of it also and seems to last really well. I'd recommend this product :)

Tips: A little goes a long way :) Let it dry completely before applying your foundation then set with a setting spray fror optimum results.
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
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 recently did a MAC order and got a 30ml size of this to try - to see if I liked it before committing to a full size. My skin is dry and I like a dewy, healthy glow. Whilst I love a matte look on others, on me it makes my skin look drier than it is.
The packaging for this is straightforward and nothing special. It isn't ugly but I wish that you could see how much product was left in this, as the tube is opaque. In saying that, it's easy to squeeze product out.
The product itself is stunning. It is a luminous cream that gives the most beautiful, natural glow to the skin. This is absolutely perfect for my dry complexion and I love how natural it looks. There is no glitter or sparkle to this, which is important to me as I don't like either of these on myself.
You can use this alone or under makeup, or even mixed into your BB Cream or foundation. I use this under my makeup but over primer. It doesn't feel sticky or greasy on my skin - but this does feel slightly hydrating.
Lastly, this has a really nice smell. I can't identify what the smell is but it is a fresh, sweet smell that is quite subtle. Once this is rubbed into your face you can't smell it.
When I do a MAC order again I will definitely purchase the full size of this. It really makes a difference to my dry skin and I love how it looks. This is a beautiful product and I highly recommend it if you have dry skin or like a dewy glow.
If you want beautiful dewy looking skin, then this is the product for you.
I use my maybelline baby skin primer first because my pores are ridiculously large and my makeup tends to sink into them making it look absolutely dreadful. I then go over top with my strobe cream (I let my baby skin primer sit for a while before I add the strobe cream). It leaves a beautiful dewy feeling to my skin. It hydrates it and preps it perfectly for the best dewy finish.
My makeup applies so easily with this strobe cream. It's easy to blend out and doesn't make it look cakey. It makes my skin look refreshed and hydrated and it adds a really beautiful glow to my skin. I love the way it makes my skin feel. It's not a heavy feeling you sometimes get with moisturiser. (I only mention that because it is quite thick and the consistency is very much like a normal moisturiser). It actually feels amazing on the skin. It's the only primer I've come across that doesn't need a dewy setting spray. Your makeup will always look beautiful and dewy with MAC's strobe cream. And it helps my makeup last alot longer too which is awesome.
If you can't get your hands on it, they say that the loreal lumi magique is the perfect dupe for this product. Which I absolutely have to agree with. The only real difference I've noticed between these products is the consistency. Mac is slightly more cream based and the Loreal one has more of a runny consistency to it.
This is a lovely moisturiser with a pearlescent tint to it. It makes your skin feel great and look glowing. It is not too white which makes it great for all skin colours. I like to mix this with the studio fix fluid foundation to shear it out and add a glow finish.
Tips: Do not use as a primer as it is a moisturiser. Great for glowy bridal makeup
This stuff is great under foundation as a primer to give your skin that extra pep it needs after a long week of late nights. Also works well on its own, or under moisturiser for obtaining that dewy complexion. Contains pinkish shimmer, so it can leave obvious lines if not blended well along jaw line etc (I noticed this especially when applying to dry flaky skin on one instance) It's not cheap but my tube had lasted ages I don't reach for this as often as I used to, as my newer foundations have enough glow to them, but it's good for no-makeup days or to boost radiance
I love strobe cream! I couldn't tell you how many I have been through over the years and I love now that they come with different colour bases! I love strobe cream to wear alone, under foundation or even mixed in to my foundation. I have even tried mixing it in with some cream blushes for some extra glow and it's absolutely gorgeous! My only down fall with strobe cream is the packing because it isn't very squeezey so I feel like it is easy to miss out a lot of product that could be getting stuck in side. Strobe cream does have a slight scent which I'm not bothered by (sort of similar to a sunscreen but not as strong), I find it goes on nice and easily and isn't sticky. I love the glow it gives me!
Tips: A little goes a long way. Try mixing it in to your foundations for an extra glow :D
Mac strobe cream had a huge fan base and I think everyone should give it a try. It has a silvery shimmer base and it is in a Lotion texture. I like to either use it on its own without foundation so give a really dewy glow to the skin (sheer of course), or I like to use it as a liquid highlighter. It is buildable and the shimmery particles are so fine it doesn’t make you look sparkly. I have also tried their pinky version and it is still da bomb.
Tips: If you can, get the travel size because unless you are a makeup artist, it will take forever to finish 1 tube.
I bought this product about a month ago and been using it almost every day before my makeup. I notice such a difference and how much better my makeup looks and goes on. ITs very moisturising for my skin, which is good comming out of winter.
