MAC needs no introduction to me. I have been using this brand’s products for a really long time and I have always loved them. MAC Strobe Cream is a recent purchase and I have to say, it is really one heck of a product!
I have combination skin and I feel that this cream is best for combination skin type. I have been using this cream from MAC for about three weeks and I can’t stop admiring it. When I have to go for a night out, I apply it all over my face with a foundation brush from MAC. I don’t like to use my fingers as I am very particular about personal hygiene and also because it tends to set well with the brush. I don’t have many skin problems so I don’t need a foundation. But this strobe cream does the trick of giving me flawless and glowing skin.
During the daytime when I go to the office or just anywhere else, I use this cream as my highlighter and it finishes off my look. The shade I am using is Redlite as I have medium skin tone. The trick for this cream is to get the right shade. You can do this by swatching all the shades or simply knowing what type of skin you have.
Whenever I use this cream, it not only fulfills my makeup needs but also makes my skin healthier.
This cream illuminates my whole look and makes my skin look radiant, smooth and dewy with a pinch of sheen. I just love this product! I’m so glad I bought it.

I started using Strobe Cream because I got a sample for the Pinklite shade. And I tell you, it is one of the best! I saw so many makeup artists using this to give their makeup an edge. I was eager when I purchased the full size tube.
This is how I use it - Sometimes when I am not in the mood to do anything, I take this cream and use it as a primer over CC cream, and touch up my brows. That itself makes me look like a million dollars! At times when I do feel like it, I set my foundation and other makeup and then apply this Strobe Cream around the inner corner of my eyes with a small brush to highlight them. It makes my eyes appear bigger and BEAUTIFUL! I also continue to use it as a highlighter. I stipple it on the high points of my face, such as on my cheekbones, on the bridge of my nose, on my forehead, and chin.
The end result is insane! My makeup always looks on point with MAC Strobe Cream. And my selfies look way better too!

MAC Strobe Cream makes my skin look radiant and glowing! I've definitely seen a huge difference in my pictures! I have deep dark skin so I use the Goldlite and Peachlite shades. I use this cream as an additional moisturizer or primer when doing my makeup. It works as a nice base underneath my foundation. It has a lotion-like texture to it, so it is not feel heavy on your skin. It gives a nice gleam to your skin, without being sparkly.

I just can’t bring myself to love this cream. No matter how many times I go back to it, I just end up disappointed. It is not for oily skin. Save your money!
For me, it’s too greasy and it smells odd! It smells like burning plastic I think. The smells bothers me so much. I feel at a loss of words here.

In some reports, the cream caused irritation and breakouts. It has also been reported that it didn’t provide the illuminating effect, though it can be due to the incorrect usage of the cream.
Individuals with sensitive skin should keep in mind that MAC Strobe Cream contains fragrance which can cause irritation and inflammation.

Blend the Strobe Cream all over your face with your fingertips. You can also mix it with your favorite foundation for a natural glow. You can either use your fingertips or a makeup brush to apply it.

It can be used as a highlighter. MAC Strobe Cream contains mineral pigments that brighten your skin. This product does add shine to your face, but what it also does is give you lots and lots of antioxidants that are very beneficial for the health of your skin.
Apply some Strobe Cream with a stippling brush on the high points of your face that you want to highlight.

Yes, you can mix some Strobe Cream with your foundation and get a dewy finish. However, make sure to always apply primer before doing so as Strobe Cream can make your pores look bigger and your skin oilier.
