MAC Strobe Cream Review

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 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.

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.

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

I have the sample/ travel size of this because if you purchase this from MAC's official site, you will realise that by purchasing two sample sizes of strobe is much cheaper than purchasing the full size. I know, crazy right. I don't really think this is meant to be a primer, but I know most people use it as one. I love love love the smell of this little cream, it reminds me of my Estee Lauder day time moisturiser (forgot the actual name okay) smells like melons! Yum! Upon application my face looks lovely and dewy, however one hour later I'm sitting there looking like a grease ball. I blot and blot and I powder and powder but oil continues to drips off my face. I really wanted to like this but it's just too oily for me. In the end it just ruins my makeup :(.

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 :)

I was pretty damn excited to try this product. It has a massive hype surrounding it and even the BR beauties have written rave reviews. I decided that a trip to Wellington was the perfect excuse to hand over my $67 in return for a healthy glow that would have everyone complimenting my skin.

I tried this product every way I could think of. I applied it underneath my foundation, mixed it with my foundation and applied it on my cheekbones over top of my foundation. I couldn't see a thing. There was no magical glow, no healthy sheen, and it seemed nobody else saw anything either.

I stopped using this product not just because it didn't do anything for me, but because it interfered with my makeup application. My makeup just wouldn't sit well on top of it, and I would end up with patchy foundation.

I'm also not a fan of the packaging. Although it is sleek and scream 'MAC,' it was very hard to squeeze the product out and too much product was dispensed every time. You also can't see when you are getting low. Because the tube is quite difficult to squeeze, I question whether the last remnants of product will be able to be squeezed out.

Perhaps my full coverage foundation just won't let the glow shine through. Perhaps it just doesn't suit my normal/combination skin that isn't dull or flat. Perhaps, unlike everyone else, I just can't see the glow that is created by the strobe cream.

I was expecting the MAC strobe cream to make me look extra healthy, bright and glowy and I saw no difference. I certainly prefer to use powder highlighters to achieve my glow.

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.

I bought this product for it's subtle 'dewy skin' effect, to use underneath and on top of my MAC foundation. It's secondary benefits are the moisturising ingredients which work quite well.

The only thing I don't like is this blocks the pores on my nose, but only when it's quite hot and humid outside.

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.
