MAC Studio Sculpt & MAC Strobe Cream

I've been umming and ahhing over getting MAC Strobe Cream for a while now. Some people absolutely love it while others say it's nothing special, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to splash out £20 on a whole tube. Instead, I got a little sample pot to try out.

Side Note: I have to say makeup samples are a marketing genius... they are also v.helpful to the consumer :- )

Anyhu... I'd seen a lot of makeup artists using the Strobe Cream with MAC Studio Sculpt foundation for photoshoots to create a luminous glowly look. So I mixed the two together and what did I get? I gorgeously glowing dewy face is what!

Sorry about the dodgy lighting... but as you can see my skin has some luminousity, which is usually only achieved by using a highlighter

Alone, Strobe  Cream is a bit... meh. And Studio Sculpt can be quite thick and heavy (I sometimes have to add a bit of moisturiser to make it more wearable during the day). So when I added Strobe Cream the consistency became much silkier and easier to blend.

Anyone else tried this combo out?

  7. Hmmm, the combination of the two sounds really great! I think I am going to get a sample to because some highlighters tend to make my skin look blotchy.
