Hey beaut's!
Strobing seems to be huge at the moment and I'm actually really getting into the trend, its all about getting the perfect glow and enhancing your features by using only a highlighter and natural light. I recently gave Makeup Revolutions offering a go and absolutely loved it so I was keen to see how their sister brand Freedom Makeup's Strobe Cream fared!
Freedom's Pro Studio Strobe Cream (£8.00) is a radiance enhancing product that can be used either under or on top of your foundation or mixed together with your foundation to make your skin appear healthy, dewy and glowing. Personally my favourite way to use this Strobe Cream is by using it all over my face underneath my foundation, I love that glow from within look and that's exactly what you get from this. The formula actually comes out as a thick white cream at first but then melts into the skin transforming into an ivory/pink pearlescent sheen on my skin once it's blended in, their are some ever so slight pink glittery particles that run through the strobe cream which at first I was slightly worried about because disco ball images popped into my head, but actually once my foundation is blended in over the top all you can see is a glowy effect and it isn't glittery at all. When I compared both the Freedom Makeup Strobe Cream and Makeup Revolutions Strobe Cream there really wasn't any difference at how each product worked, it's basically just the colour of the sheen that's different, Makeup Revolutions strobe cream is more warm and golden and Freedom's is cool and pearlescent so really your favourite would just depend on what look you like to go for really!
Overall I do really like this little beauty and have been using lots underneath my foundation recently, it makes such a nice dewy, radiant base and just makes my features pop and look more highlighted, I love it! As I said before this strobing cream can double up as a cream highlight that sits over your foundation which I've found looks equally as pretty when blended with a brush, and I think a pea sized amount mixed into my foundation in the summer months will look incredible and super illuminated so I'll definitely be giving that whirl!
Have you tried the Freedom Pro Studio Strobe Cream yet beaut's? What did you think? I'd love to know.
Sounds really interesting.I do love a highlight xoxo

This sounds great. I have MAC's Strobe Cream but I'm definitely tempted to give this a go as a cheaper alternative!

I feel really behind haha, I actually had no idea that strobe creams existed! I really prefer a gel or cream texture over a powder so this sounds right up my street, I really enjoyed your review! Your blog is the prettiest thing and I've followed on GFC! :D xx

I love that this gives such a natural glow to the skin because let's face it no-one wants the disco ball look. Great that it's affordable too x
