Review: MAC Strobe Cream (Dewy Skin)

Hey everyone!

I've been hearing all good things about MAC Strobe Cream for about a few years now and decided to finally give it a go! It is marketed to be used as the ultimate quick fix-to freshen dull, flat or tired looking skin with iridescent pearls and fully loaded antioxidants! In other words it would reflect light off the skin if it is exposed to any light (sunlight or spotlight), giving you that dewy fresh look.

Application:

1).I mixed the strobe cream with my foundation.

2). Dot cream on cheekbones, nose and chin after you have applied foundation.

I know that there are numerous other ways to use this but I found mixing the cream with my foundation a better technique for me.

Pros:

Gives a lovely glow to the skin (doesn't look oily)

Brightens up dull looking skin 

Isn't overly shimmery- nice and subtle

Can be used with overly mattifying foundations

Cons:

Broke me out! (For all my oily skin ladies, beware!)
Pricey
Foundation colour becomes slightly lighter- but not that noticeable

Overall Rating: 6/10

I wouldn't use this product all the time- only on days when I really feel like my skin needs a pick me up. It does brighten the complexion however I find myself running back home to wash it off because I'm afraid it will break me out.
