LOVE LOVE LOVE
I love using this product to prep the skin for a flawless face. It gives you the right amount of moisture and gives a sheen to the skin when worn under foundation! It is also healthy for your skin too, not too heavy or with all of the fillers and pigments!
Trial and Error
I was at my local MAC store yesterday to top up on some new eyeshadows and remembered to include the Strobe Cream in my purchase, only because the reviews have been so good. But I am on the fence about this product now that I have bought it. Apart from it being SO costly (!), I just can't seem to find the best way to use this product. Mixed with my Studio FX Foundation is does nothing but disappear, added below my foundation, you can't see it, and when patted lightly just over the foundation, it makes my blush and setting powder appear cake-like :( So at a loss over the product really, but will spend some more time testing out its usages.
MAC's Strobe Cream: A big 'ol Drink of Water
MAC states that this product acts as a vitamin packed illuminating moisturizer of sorts. I have used similar products with stronger illuminating pigment properties before, so that aspect of the cream is off the table for me, but there is something about this cream that I really like.
I used this product as a primer for a foundation application. I did not mix it in with a moisturizer; I applied it straight from the tube to the face blending it in with a flat paddle foundation brush. I was pleasantly surprised with the result.
With this cream, you only need a small amount...a little goes along way. After applying this product, (I applied it over moisturizer) I noticed that my model's pores were significantly smaller and her complexion had an overall refreshed look. I applied foundation, and it looked fabulous. Her skin was not overtly dewey looking like some similar products have a tendency to do. Some may say that it's because of the illuminating properties, but I think there's a little more to it than that. I liken using this product to giving the skin a big 'ol drink of water. Her foundation stayed in place and very refreshed looking through a grueling 5 hours of intense stage lighting. MAC's Strobe Cream now has a permanent place in my kit.
A vitamin bomb for your skin
I love this product, the glow it gives and how great the skin looks and feels.
You have to watch out though, since it has so many vitamins in it, you are not supposed to use it everyday, max 2-3 times a week, because when the skin receives so much nutrition repeatedly it stops making it on it's own.
The smell is great and the texture is good, I mix it with foundations, sometimes I even use it as an highlighter over the foundation.
So pretty!
Love this! It's great as a primer, mixed in with your foundation or as a highlight! Its so gorgeous and glowly on the skin! I use this on everyone. Its so beautiful and goes on any skin tone.
Dewey flawless skin
I put off buying this for a couple of months because I thought it wouldn't be all that great but I am so glad I got it! It makes my skin look so healthy & glowy! Great for summer!
Truly is a quick fix for the skin
I use this on almost all of my clients. It gives that "glow from within" look. Smells lovely (as do all of their skincare products), and lasts a long long time!
Very Nice
This was sort of an impulse buy. I wasn't looking for a highlighter, but they ladies at MAC convinced me that I needed it. I actually like it a lot! It's very light weight. I use it as a highlighter around my eyes. It gives a nice subtle shimmer without being overpoweringly sparkly.
Love it!
I've been mixing this product with my full coverage creme foundation and it leaves a beautiful finish! I've tried it with M.A.C. Studio Sculpt and Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation and they both produced a lovely finish!! Plus, this product is full of antioxidants so you can't go wrong there!!
Love this luminizer.
I wanted a glowy, dewy look but sometimes I just couldn't achieve it with regular foundation and luminizing powders. Enter MAC Strobe Cream. I got addicted and used it like every day. It has a really nice texture, goes on cool and smooth and dries fast. Gives such a great glow you don't even need foundation if you have clear skin!
