    This stuff is soo overrated. i bought it and with went all crusty around the opening - Revlon skinlights is a much much better highlighter than this and soo much cheaper. will not buy again.

    MAC Strobe Cream is a great highlighter, not too pinky, too yellow, too dark, too light for me. I use it mostly under brow or near the top of my forehead. Would like to learn about other uses.

    A. It's expensive B. It just made me look oily C. It made me break out in some of the worst whiteheads I've ever had in my life. I love MAC, I love everything MAC, just not strobe cream. I feel...

    First, I must say that I love MAC. My favorite brand, and I sort of idealize them, usually thinking they can do no wrong, but I found one item that I must tell everyone to stay away from: Strobe...

    I like this to provide a dewy 'shimmery' look that wakes up your skin, i think you are just supposed to put on cheek bones etc but I tend to apply all over and then follow with a tinted moisturier...

    This looks pretty in the pot, but on my face it is just SO glowy and vibrant that it makes me look like a disco ball. Makes me wanna do the Hustle.

    This is a great highlighter. I mix a tiny bit (a little goes a long way) with my moisturizer and it really brightens up my complexion. I will definitely repurchase this.

    I love MAC's Strobe Cream! I bought it for the first time on a whim and I've never looked back. I use it when I go out, by dabbing a bit on my cheekbones, nose and chin--over my concealer or...

    My fav highlighter so far. Brightens up any dull skin, giving a healthy look. I'm guessing i could skip moisturizer on t-zone as this is quite moisturizing as well. I apply a tiny bit under...

    This is one of the few highlighters that I actually find myself reaching for on a regular basis. It's a nice soft glow- no glitter at all- that looks good all over. I use it most on my...
