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.

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...
