This product is MAC's iconic peach-toned pearl moisturizer that doubles as a makeup base, creating a translucent, peachy complexion. The fine pearl sheen not only brightens the skin tone but also adds a subtle radiance, creating a natural highlight effect across the face without being excessive. It has a moisturizing feel, comparable to a hydrating cream. It's said to be the secret behind celebrities' glowing, dewy skin. The delicate peach-toned pearl effect gives the skin a soft luminosity and sheen, perfecting a smooth skin texture and healthy complexion. Apply it to the most prominent areas of the nose and cheeks, the cupid's bow, and chin. This versatile product has another hidden talent - it works wonderfully as a body shimmer cream. It's perfect for adding a glow to areas that connect with the face, like the collarbone, shoulders, and cleavage line.
ConsIt might be too shiny for oily skin types. Powder touch-ups would be essential.

Perfect when you don't want to layer multiple products in summer - use this instead of an emulsion.
ConsClaims to help with redness, but doesn't seem to make much difference (honestly feels like it does nothing). The performance seems mediocre for the price.
TipApply before a matte foundation (like Double Wear) for a smoother, less dry-looking skin finish. It also works well mixed with foundation.

While the ingredients aren't 100% perfect, I didn't experience any blemishes! When I apply this before BB cream or foundation, it gives me a glowy makeup look. If I go out wearing just this, I often get compliments on my skin. It's also very hydrating.
ConsI don't think this product offers the best value for money. It's not exactly cheap... However, you don't need to use a lot each time, and since I don't use it daily, it does last a while!
TipOh, this product is just beautiful whether you use it alone or mix it with something else. It's simply gorgeous! If you want hydrated skin with a natural, subtle glow, I highly recommend this!

Cons- If you have a yellowish skin tone, this shade might not suit you well. It can make your overall complexion appear more sallow. - In summer, it tends to melt and become sticky.
Tip- I suggest applying a thin layer. In my case, as my cheeks are quite dry, I only apply it to my cheeks in early autumn. This not only provides a hydration boost but also gives a natural blush effect.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsWhen applied all over the face, it feels moisturizing and gives a beautiful glow. In summer, just a small amount on dry areas is sufficient. This product is best to use in fall and winter. After finishing your skincare routine and applying this, even with makeup and powder on top, your skin still has a lovely glow. Although it's a bit pricey, one purchase lasts for a long time!
ConsThey said it's as moisturizing as a hydrating cream, but I'm not so sure about that. It is moisturizing, but if you apply it without using a hydrating cream first, your skin feels tight. Make sure to complete your entire skincare routine before using this. Also, I've been using this since before they split the colors, and I still don't understand why they did that. It seems pointless...
TipYou should only use a small amount. If you apply too much, it might cause your makeup to pill. Apply it with your hands, then pat it in with a damp sponge for an extra boost of hydration!

ConsIt's so addictive, I feel incomplete without applying it daily. Warning: it might break the bank!

Its moisturizing formula makes it perfect as a pre-makeup hydrator. The texture is so smooth and absorbs well, it feels like I'm applying a gel cream. ✨Instant Glow-Up It gives a natural complexion boost with a subtle luminosity that's not over the top! Unlike some glow creams that can feel greasy, this one imparts just the right amount of sheen, leaving your skin with a beautiful Inner Glow. ✨Smooth Application, Quick Absorption The application is a breeze, and it absorbs into the skin nicely. You can even apply it haphazardly with your hands, and it still blends in effortlessly!
Cons💧Value for Money? I'm not convinced the quality justifies the price tag. You might find similar products from drugstore brands. 💧Less is More Be careful with the amount you use! Apply too much and you'll definitely experience pilling, especially around the jawline. 💧Skin Tone Enhancement? I chose the Peach Light shade from the various options, but I'm not sure if it actually evens my skin tone as claimed.
TipI won't be repurchasing this product.

Even with a semi-matte foundation, it gives a subtle glow and feels moisturizing, effectively serving as a hydrating base.
ConsOver time, pores and skin texture become slightly more noticeable. If you wear makeup for long periods or don't cleanse thoroughly, you might experience multiple blemishes around your pores.
TipA MAC employee shared a tip: apply it in circular motions and immediately follow with foundation before the moisture evaporates. She warned that if there's a gap between applying this and your foundation, it might cause pilling.

Despite my skin having pores and uneven texture, when I mixed it with BB cream in a 2:1 ratio for my base makeup, a friend commented on how great my skin looked! It's moisturizing and does a good job covering my slight redness. I'll need to keep using it to be sure, but I think it'll work well through the dry spring season!
ConsIf you have oily skin, you might find it a bit heavy. It should be fine for the dry autumn and winter months, but for summer... I'd probably skip it. I couldn't really find any major downsides, but it doesn't dramatically improve skin appearance either. It's just a decent, reliable product to use!
TipTry mixing it with BB cream or foundation! They say a 2:1 ratio of BB cream (or foundation) to this product works best!

As for cushions, I've always struggled to find one that works for me. They all seemed to sit on top of my skin. But when I apply the Strobe Cream before using any cushion, they all look great! The first time I used it with a cushion, I felt like I'd struck gold!
ConsI loved the original so much that I bought the Peach Light version when the color range expanded. To be honest, when mixed with foundation, there's not much difference between the shades. They have quite a variety of colors, but I suspect that when mixed with foundation, the differences might be minimal for most of them.
TipI recommend using this with drier foundations or cushions for best results!
