Most Helpful Positive Review Liked this but... Idk if anybody realized this but you can buy the travel size that has 1 oz in it for $12. this has 1.7 oz for $33 so you could buy 2 of the $12 ones and get 3 oz more for about $10 less.... I liked this product a lot and will be buying the travel size again lol!
Most Helpful Critical Review WONDERFUL product, best of it's kind! BUT terrible bottle! PLEASE change the packaging!! I love this moisturizer and the natural looking glow that it gives my face, but the bottle is terrible! It is too rigid and when the product gets low, it is very hard to get out. I feel like a lot is being left behind. I cut the bottle open to get to it and stored in in a plastic bag so it wouldn't dry, but I really don't care to go through that trouble again. I see many of your primers and other skin products use this packaging... until it changes, I will not try these either! Such a shame because I absolutely LOVE MAC Cosmetics!!

So an online store just delivered this cream along with these MAC lipstick. Me, who's a newbie in the makeup world have been using this cream for my lips. And yes it does keep them from drying and i dont see cracks since. Never thought this meant to be for my face hahaha. Im still gonna use them tho
gorgeous 5
Sarah from Iowa
This strobe cream is absolutely perfect. I've mixed it with a semi-matte foundation for a more luminous finish, and have patted it directly on areas I wish to highlight. The soft pink color is perfect for my fair skin, and the glow is just enough so you see it, but not glittery or overly dramatic.
Wanted to love... 3
Macherie from East coast, USA
I really wanted to love this. I've been wanting to create my perfect J-Lo glow dewy skin look... Idk what I thought I would be getting but I'm pretty underwhelmed.
Healthy glow. 5
Sunny from Texas
It's a great primer. You don't need to use a lot and it doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin.
Not for me 1
Jaml from Connecticut
I was looking for a resplacement for a discontinued product . This item was suggested by the sales person. It made my cheeks look bright oink like I had a fever. Very unflattering on me. I have fair skin.

Best moisturizer for a glow 5
Kjw from Eau Claire
This product gives my dull skin a boost and glows even after applying foundation
Youthful glow!! 5
theinerswife39 from paynesville, Minnesota
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this cream!! I use pinklite. I'm almost 40 and I apply it to my cheeks, forehead, tip of nose, on the arch of my eyebrows and a little above my lip (where you would put any other highlighter) and it gives me a beautiful glow. I don't even use foundation, you don't need to with this stuff!! I would HIGHLY recommend this product if you like a healthy, youthful glow!!!
Great summer glow 5
SotoSaid from Los Angeles
I LOVE this product! I was looking for something light that created a healthy glow and evens tone. This delivers! It is not greasy, weightless dewy look, and great for hot all day wear. Its perfect for a day at the beach or on a zoom call, when you want to a minimal look or are too lazy to put on a full face.
Not for dry skin! 1
BB from Atlanta, GA
This stuff sucked up all the moisture out of my face as soon as I applied it. I was very disappointed because it made my foundation appear very costly after applying. I ended up returning this because it made me break out within an hour. I was so disappointed because of all the rave reviews but I guess it only works for oily skin not designed for dry skin. I ended up having to remove all my make up and start all over on my wedding day.
So effective 4
Rimaessssam from Egypt,cairo
It does not cause inflammation, is mild on the skin, and is very effective
In LOVE with this!! 5
Sienna from Shoreview, MN
I love to use it on its own, mixed with foundation or even on its own!
Glass skin! 5
Sofia from D.C.
This product has literally lasted me a year and 4 months. That's insane, because I use it every single day! I honestly can't imagine my routine without it. Even if I don't wear any makeup on a certain day, I always apply my strobe cream to give my skin a beautiful healthy glow! And it smells so good -- not a strong smell, and hard to describe, but it just smells so clean and feminine and comforting at the same time. I am on my second bottle, I love it so much!
Gives you 'that J-Lo glow'! 5
Selena from Miami, FL
The last time I stopped by at the MAC counter some months back, I was given not just one but two little sample pots of the Strobe Cream in 'Goldlite'. "This will give you that J-Lo glow" I was told. Intrigued...I couldn't wait to get home and try it out for myself. The lightly perfumed cream has a pearlescent appearance which gives your skin a shimmery, radiant look (not glittery at all). The effect is, of course temporary until washed off. I use it as a highlighter over my foundation (cheekbones and cupids bow) and it just makes the area where applied look illuminated, I love it. Although a little too heavy to use on my face daily as a primer, I have on some occasions managed to get away with using it mixed with my foundation, about one-third Strobe Cream to two-thirds foundation, any more just becomes too heavy for me. The effect is subtle but that's also what I like about it...you cannot tell anything has been applied, it just looks like you have naturally good radiant skin. And yes I did return to the MAC counter and purchase the full size product as soon as my sample pots were used up!

Helped with my rosacea 5
Tam from Sweden
This product helped my rosacea! After application my face become smooth and I have tried so many creams and lotions that are for rosacea and nothing helped me. Could anyone know what it could be in this product that helps reduce it?
Amazing natural glow 5
Amazing natural glow from KY
I usually wear this with my moisturizer and it gives a very natural and subtle glow to my skin... the cream is light and is not very greasy. I have dry skin and this cream adds that hydration giving it a healthy skin glow!!
Allergic Reaction 1
UltaChic73 from Nevada
Only tried it once. At first it left a natural glow on my skin. Next thing I notice are small bumps erupting on one side of my face. I could be wrong though. Perhaps, the product responds well to other skin types. Well most certainly not mine.
Allergic Reaction 1
Amber from KY
I had an allergic reaction after using this product. It makes my entire face really itchy and leaves red dry blotches on my face. I do not recommend this product!
Love 5

Beautiful glow for those days you don't want to wear makeup!
Best ever 5
POPtartes from Colorado
Love strobe cream. Use it everyday before my M.A.C primer/foundation. MGT ❤️
Red Light 5
SarahR3487 from Cleveland, Ohio
I've been using the original MAC Strobe cream for years, but now they are calling it "Pink light". I saw that the red light shade was on sale, and I figured how much different could it be? I was right, it looks pretty much identical on the skin. I love strobe cream! I wear it alone on no make up days, mixed w foundation, or as a primer underneath. It is such a great versatile product!
Natural glow 5
Julie from Irvine
This highlighter gives the best natural dewy look!! It also looks good mixed into foundation or just on top. I like to stack another highlighter on top if I want a more intense gleam. It definitely is not the most pigmented highlighter, but it is the most natural looking.
great! 5
