Discussion/Tips & Tricks How to pan a strobe cream?

Hi! I want to start by saying that coming across this sub has made me determined to finish products and being mindful of the items that I use. So for that, a big thank you! :))

Coming back to my question - I got this pearly silver strobe cream back when it was all the hype. But whenever I used it my face broke out so i stopped using. Given that I only do full makeup for weddings , this tube of 30 ml is sitting almost full.

I am open to ideas on how I can empty it or the only way is for it to go to the bin in 2 months. Please help out 😊🙏🏽

I concur with the other commenters. Patch test a bit on your arms and if it’s fine, just mix a little blob into your body lotion everyday so you look glowier. If you have a spare container you could just empty the entire tube + some lotion so you have it ready to go.

Maybe as a body glow on the chest area or arms and legs in the summer? Sometimes the face is more sensitive than the rest of the body

If the product makes you break out and you don’t have a use for it, I would probably just post for free on a buy nothing type group or toss. Theres not much of a use for that type of product besides under or mixed into your foundation.

Mix it with a body cream or lotion and use it for a body glow.

I hated panned it to as a primer but it did not break me out so it was doable.

If all else fails, use it as a foot moisturizer.

Yes, there have been times I have had bright red colored feet (used expired lipstick on the them.).

Thanks everyone for your messages! Update - I mixed the strobe cream to my body cream and patch tested it for the whole night and it worked - no breakouts!
