Why Beauty Editors Are Ditching Full Coverage for Mac Strobe Dewy Skin Tint
By Sarah Jenkins
Q1: Does the MAC Strobe Dewy Skin Tint cause breakouts on acne-prone skin?
A1: The formula is non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested, but it does contain emollients like squalane and shea butter derivatives. Those prone to fungal acne or pore congestion from rich plant butters should patch-test along the jawline before committing to full-face daily application.
Q2: Can I wear this skin tint instead of daily sunscreen?
A2: No. Unlike some hybrid BB creams, the MAC Strobe Dewy Skin Tint does not contain broad-spectrum SPF. You must apply a standalone facial sunscreen underneath and allow it to set for two minutes before smoothing the tint over your face.
Q3: How do I keep the skin tint from looking overly shiny by midday?
A3: Keep your application strategic. Press the product all over for glow, but use a micro-milled, talc-free setting powder strictly down the center of the forehead, the sides of the nostrils, and the tip of the chin using a small tapered eyeshadow brush.
