Verdict:
Maybelline New York Strobing
Cream is a cream highlighter. The shade I got is Pink, and it is more silvery
than pink. It has very thick consistency. It does not blend easily you have to
work with it. It dries quickly, so you have to be very quick with the
application.
On the website, they say that it
can be used as alone, mix with primer, mix with foundation, or spotlight high
points of the face. Let’s look at all these usage one by one.
I wore this strobing cream after
applying moisturizer, and my face was looking metallic. So, you cannot wear
this alone except if you are doing robot makeup.
The box in which the tube came
also said that it can be used as a primer. So, I used it as a primer and
applied foundation. This did not work for me, as it highlighted my pores.
Next, I mixed the strobing cream
with the primer. I apply my primer with a dabbing motion and this cream
requires a lot of blending. So I do not prefer this.
Now, about mixing with the
foundation is a good option, as both the foundation and the strobing cream will
blend properly.
I used this cream to highlight
high points of my face. This is a very light highlighter. You can use to for
casual wear but this will not work for party wear.
You just need a little quantity
of this cream. It is not light weight as in you can feel that something is on
your face.
Apply the strobing cream before
the foundation, to get a dewy makeup look.
You can mix the cream with matte
finish foundation to make it dewy finish foundation.
The strobing cream can also be
used on eyelids as eye shadow for the glow.
I use this strobing cream as a
highlighter and then add my usual highlighter to get the extra glow. The
staying power of highlighter increases if you do this.
Maybelline New York Strobing
Cream works only with sheer to medium coverage foundation.
Maybelline New York Strobing
Cream is my first strobing cream and I liked the result. My makeup
looks glowy and natural after using this cream.
The steps I follow are: First
good hydrating moisturizer, then a primer, then I apply this cream and last I
apply my foundation.
Maybelline New York Strobing
Cream is a good affordable illuminator. People, who prefer dewy makeup, should
definitely buy this. And people who are looking for a subtle highlighter should
go for this.
