Mac Pro Longwear Concealer Review

Does anyone else have that one concealer or foundation that they always wear in the summertime? Well for me, it's the Mac Pro Longwear Concealer!

This concealer is probably one of my all time favorites and I'm so excited that I'm finally tan so that I can wear it again (more on that later on in the post)!

So for the basics, this concealer has great packaging.

 

The packaging is nice and compact and it comes with a pump (mine was very messy, but I still love liquid products with pumps)! The only problem with this pump is that it tends to dispense way too much product..

 

This picture is the least amount of product I could dispense (and it covered everything I needed covered). If you do a full pump, you will end up with so much product that a ton will end up wasted, so BE CAREFUL! This pump isn't one that is easy to control how much product comes out, but I suggest you very carefully try to pump as little product as possible. Also, for those wondering, it comes in a glass bottle.

Now on to the actual product.. This concealer is obviously a liquid consistency. I find that it's the perfect consistency for a liquid concealer-- not too liquidy, but liquidy enough.

It applies super easily and blends in to the skin and looks natural. I love the finish that this concealer has, it sets to a beautiful natural matte finish.

The coverage is medium to full and very buildable. One layer of this product will give you medium coverage but you can layer on more to give you a great full coverage.

One of my favorite things about this concealer is that it is VERY long wearing-- the name doesn't lie! It stays looking good for a very long time, and even when it starts to show wear, it wears beautifully. It stays matte for longer than any other concealers I have owned. When I was travelling about a week ago, I applied this at 5 A.M. and it stayed on until I took it off at about 11:30 P.M. The only sign of wear that it showed was that my skin was starting to get a little shiny. Pretty impressive!

Now I must admit, there is another downside to this product (at least for me). The reason that I can only wear this product in the summer is because of the color range. I am strictly in the NC shades in Mac. My summer shade is NC30 and the next shade down from that in the NC shades (for this concealer) is NC20. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, it basically goes from my dark summer shade to a very light shade that is even too light for me during the winter time. There is no in between. I would love to use this concealer year round and have different shades but they virtually don't have my color! I do realize I could mix NC20 and NC30 but that is a bit of a hassle and I would waste a lot of product. Most of you may not encounter this problem, I just wanted to mention it just in case anyone else is around these shades.

Overall, I think this is a great concealer and I highly suggest checking it out, especially if you have a long day and need your makeup to last. It retails for $18 which I think is an amazing price especially considering how long one bottle will last you!

This concealer is available wherever Mac products are sold-- Mac stores, Mac counters in department stores, maccosmetics.com.
