Hello lovelies,
Today my thoughts are on the NY bae pro strobe cream and also whether it can be a possible dupe to the M.A.C one. I was sent a couple of NY Bae products to try a few months back and I received their strobe cream too in the bunch. Immediately when I saw this it reminded me of M.A.C.

My Experience
The first time I swatched this it felt similar to the M.A.C strobe cream in gold lite. The one I currently have is the mini strobe cream by M.A.C in pinklite which is a sample size I received when I bought the studio fix foundation online. The NY bae strobe cream in the shade gold sapphire is ever so slightly thinner in consistency yet creamy too. And the shimmer/glitter is finely milled. Blends beautifully on the skin and I love how their gold strobe suits my skin tone. The M.A.C goldlite is similar to this except it’s more thicker and more hydrating also I feel. But look wise these are you can say 95% dupes to each other, however coming to formula wise the M.A.C strobe cream have more skincare benefiting ingredients like camellia (green tea) extract, morus bombycis (mulberry) root extract, pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract etc. The ingredient list is subject to change as claimed by the brand. NY Bae pro strobe cream is more of an illuminating moisturizer which I feel is better suited for makeup use, as you can apply it as a highlighter, mix into your foundation or apply it all over your face as a primer. Love the finish too again it resembles the M.A.C one. The below photos depicts the swatches of gold sapphire by NY Bae.
The M.A.C in terms of formulation I do feel sounds more promising however if you don’t have the budget you can go for their mini size retailing for Rs1100 for 15ml and you get only the pinklite variant where as the NY Bae you get two variants the pink and gold for Rs249 for 12gms each. So there is a huge price difference.
The above photo shows the swatches of both the M.A.C pinklite strobe cream and the NY bae one. The NY Bae one you only get one size which is a quantity of 12gm and the M.A.C strobe cream you get a mini size if 15gm and the full size of 50ml for Rs3400.
