So ive been strobing for about 5 months now and i love it! This product is one of my most favourite products to use when im strobing. As it has been summer I've been wanting a more glowly and dewy makeup.
For those who don't know what strobing is, strobing is the technique where you use a cream with an built in illumnaitor almost like a primer (as you strobe before doing you makeup). You use the cream on the high points of your face such as you cheeks and t zone (bridge of nose, above your lip, chin and high parts of forehead) This will result a dewy and illuminated look once completed your makeup. Many celebrities use this technique!
Here are some example of celebrities who strobe:
CHECK THAT GLOW OUT!
(google imagines)
As you can see strobing really gives your skin a natural glow without looking cakey. Strobing itself isn't hard either, you can create the most simplest look BUT also create the an ultra glam red carpet look too! That's the best bit about strobing day to night look achieved easily.
MAC'S STROBE CREAM
This product over all has made it into my summer makeup routine now, this product was quite a recent purchase for me, i actually brought it from the airport on the way Paris and used ever since.
I can't really say alot about the packaging as its the very simple mac package but it a perfect size for travelling and isn't too big, i would recommended you pack this product epically if your going on holiday somewhere warm you should wear it! As it would give your skin an instant glow. You could defiantly just wear this under some light BB cream or even on its own! The only down side is that you would have to wear suncream on the top as it doesn't have SPF in it which is a shame. KIDS ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN, YOU WILL THANK ME LATER!!
The consistency of the product is a liquid as you may have guessed, its slightly lighter than a cream or a primer and doesn't have a gel formula. Over all it feels very light on the skin when applied and blended in. You can either use a beauty blender or your finger to simply blend this product in either way it still looks beautiful and glowy.
This is the amount that comes out with one squeeze, a perfect amount to cover the whole face. This is great as you wont be wasting any product.
Unblended. It looks good on every skin tone weather you have fair skin tone or a darker tone.
Blended as you can see when its blended it gives off a white shimmer on my skim tone and i have a fairly olive skin tone. I'm NC 40 at mac if you wanted a skin tone reference.
(also ignore my krusty af hands i need some hand cream asap)
