MAC Strobe Cream (Pinklite)

Hi everyone. Another week starts and for today, I'll be featuring one of MAC's bestselling product, the Strobe Cream. I have actually purchased this travel size last year, but have not been using it, as I have initially had a bad reaction - my face was itchy and became red. But I gave this product another go a few weeks ago and I have gotten good results from it since, no more itchiness and redness.

MAC Strobe Cream (Pinklite)

Pinklite (original strobe cream) is described as "pink pearls" and works well with lighter skin tones. This is actually more of a whitish illuminating cream, with a light pinky undertones.

This cream is like a moisturizer and illuminator/highlighter in one. You can also use this as a primer if you want to achieve that dewy look. I typically apply this before makeup, after any skincare. This helps makeup apply more smoothly and makes your skin radiant and luminous without looking oily or greasy.

This cream was also slightly hydrating, though it will not replace a moisturizer in your skincare. With the added dewiness and luminousity, this made my makeup not last as long as it normally does because it made my skin oilier. However, I do like the radiant effect it offers. On low-key and good skin days, you can also wear this alone, as it is able to even out your complexion and makes your skin look smooth.
