New mac strobe cream review full#

I use it as a highlighter very often and apply it on my high points after completing my full makeup (the bridge of my nose, under my eye brows, center of my forehead, center of my chin, cupid bow and my cheek bones).I must confess I have to apply translucent powder on my T-Zone to give it a matte finish.

I mix a little amount with my foundation ( MAC Face and Body C5) and apply all over my face to make my skin look perked up and give it a youthful glow.

It can be used as a primer for dry to normal skin but oily skin people should apply a primer on their T-Zone after using this to avoid excessive greasy look.

You can mix it with MAC Fix Plus instead of Bodyshop product or with any tinted moisturizer and leave it at that. I do not apply on my T-Zone as it is very oily in the first place.

I mix it with my Bodyshop Vitamin E spray and apply it on my face and wear it exclusively without makeup.

It gives a sheen or a glow rather than a in your face sparkle.

They are very finely milled and you can barely make out their presence. The best way to apply it is with a flat paddle brush and not a sponge or fingers as the iridescent particles end up on the finger tips or the sponge instead of on the skin where you want them to be. The strobe cream is light on the skin and I use it in many ways. I would describe the look as pearl glow of perhaps a pink fairy dust that gives just the right amount (a bare hint) of luminosity and glow to make the skin look vibrant, fresh and really lively. I have been using for only one month but it has been a MAC permanent.

The reason given by him was that if the skin is given too much of vitamins it will stop producing its own.ĭid I tell you that this strobe cream is marketed as a subtle highlighter? The glow that comes after applying it is very, very subtle and lasts for about thirty to forty minutes. The MAC Makeup artist advised not to wear it every single day but can be worn twice or thrice in a week. It is packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins, green tea leaf extract, various fruit extracts and other skin friendly stuff. In fact, too much of it on the skin will make it look greasy and oily.

It has a hint of mauve color and a mild flowery smell which doesn’t last long. The mac cream comes out easily with just a slight pressure on the tube in fact, at times it is difficult to manage the quantity of cream that comes out. Enhances the effects of light on all skin and in all lighting conditions from sunlight to spotlight. Brightens and clarifies with iridescent particles and antioxidants. Super-powered with potent botanicals de-snoozes, de-stresses, moistens, freshens and boosts the look of dull, flat or tired-looking skin with a fully loaded vitamin zap and a mega dose of green tea. I does have a very nice effect.MAC Claims: The ultimate quick fix for the skin. If you like illuminating lotions, you might want to check this one out. I have not broken out from it, but I also have not used it on my entire face and have been restricting it to areas where I don’t typically get acne. I like the liquid for just a bit of cheek highlighting when I am only wearing powder mineral makeup on my lower face. It provides a nice luminizing effect, that can add radiance to your look as long as you don’t cover it up with a bunch of foundation. This is quite a contrast to the cream, which I remember as being particularly thick. It also has Bismuth, which is an irritant for some people, although I have never had an negative reactions to it. The ingredient list for the lotion is not overly scary, but I did notice that it contains Hexylene Glycol, which is on some lists as a moderate risk for causing acne. So I plan to just avoid trying that one again. I can’t speak for the new version because I did not try it, but looking at an ingredient list at, I see a number of suspect ingredients, such as Glyceryl Stearate SE, Steareth 10, C13-14 Isoparaffin, and Propylene. I heard similar reports from a good number of other women as well. Strobe Cream years back and found that it broke me out something terrible. Strobe Collection consists of a number of tinted lip conditioners ( read Girl Gloss Review), a re-release of M.A.C.’s Strobe Cream, and a new Strobe Lotion Liquid.
