Look Radiant with MAC Strobe Lotion
Summer makeup is all about getting a natural glow and letting your inner radiance shine through. Lucy Liu’s complexion looks effortlessly flawless, perfect for a day in the sun.
To keep my makeup light for the season, I like to combine my regular foundation with a little bit of MAC Strobe Lotion. MAC Strobe Lotion has iridescent pigments in the formula to give my face a subtle, all over sheen.
Combine 2 parts foundation to 1 part Strobe Lotion, mix and smooth all over your face for a little coverage and to even out your skin tone. Set the foundation with translucent powder, then sweep some blush or bronzer on your cheeks and you’re ready for a perfect day out and about, basking in the sunshine!

I actually like the strobe even though everyone has mixed feelings on it. I like the cream more though for texture but the liquid for the luminosity. What brush are you using to apply it? If any?

Hiya Mrs. Lynne!
I really like Strobe too. I haven’t tried the cream but I have been using the lotion almost every day now since the weather’s warming up.
I don’t apply my foundation with a brush (too lazy). I just use my fingers to smooth the mixture on a few key areas - my cheeks to cover the red, on my nose, forehead and chin. What are you currently using for foundation? Do you mix the Strobe with it also?

I loves me some Lucy Liu! I especially like that she doesn’t hide her freckles or try to get rid of them; perhaps one day I too will be at peace with my dreadful speckled mug.

I adore Lucy Liu as well. She’s so pretty and has a fierce fashion sense to go with her good looks. Damn, don’t I wish we could all be perfect!
How was your weekend? Do you do anything fun?

I’m using my Buff’d mineral foundation - I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I don’t use Strobe anymore since I ran out of my sample and haven’t gone back to replenish it. I’ve een using a brush because when I use my hands it’s too much. Call me sloppy, lol!!

Hi Mrs. Lynne!
Aww, you should get some more of the Strobe cream girl! I’m too lazy to use a brush, my fingers do a great job
Happy Monday and hope that your week is off to a great start!
