M.A.C.
Pro Longwear Concealer Review
Hi everyone! I am Mimika from Mimika's Little Wonderland- a fashion
and beauty blog! Thanks to Shona from freshbeautyxox, I am very honored to be
a guest blogger on her blog! I am a HUGE beauty and fashion junkie. I started
my blog last with the goal to provide practical beauty/fashion tips and updates
to my readers. I also love doing giveaways and bloghop and have a few going on
right now! Check it out :)
Today I am going to review the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer and give
some tips on how to apply under eye concealer so that it’s natural and long
lasting. MAC is a pretty good brand in terms of price vs. quality. This
concealer claims to be a “lightweight fluid concealer that provides medium full
coverage.” It also claims to last “up to 15 hours”. Let’s see if it lives up to
its claims!
Lightweight?
It is hard to find a concealer that is lightweight, natural, yet
gives great coverage. There are these nearly perfect concealers out that (such
as the Cle De Peau legendary concealer) that cost an arm and a leg. If you want
something reasonably priced for everyday, you have to make a compromise, and I
think this MAC Pro Longwear Concealer is a great product that fit this category
(approximately $20CAD) without sacrificing too much quality. It’s not 10/10 in
terms of how lightweight it is, but for the price I think it’s a pretty good
choice. The downside is the consistency of this concealer is a bit thicker than
desired which makes it harder to blend. It takes some effort to slowly blend with
your foundation. I give this category 3.5/5.
Coverage?
I am pretty satisfied with the coverage of this M.A.C. Pro Longwear Concealer. It does a pretty good job covering under
eye dark circles and acne marks. Of course make sure you select a color that
matches your skin tone. This concealer has 15 different shades so I am sure you
can find something that fits you. I give this category a 4/5.
Long
Lasting?
This concealer is a bit dry which does affect how long lasting it
is. I really don’t think it last for “15 hours” per its claim. It does last for
a good 8 hours normally but beyond that you have to reapply your concealer. If
the concealer is more moist it would help with adherence and hence more long
lasting. A 3.5/5.
Packaging?
I am not too happy about the packaging of the MAC Pro Longwear
Concealer which is a pump. The pump is not very smooth thus making it hard to
control the amount of concealer dispensed. It is very easy to pump too much. I
try to blend the extra concealer with foundation to use on my face but I would
be happier if it is a brush instead, or a pump that is smoother and easier to
control. I give this only 2.5/5.
Mimika’s
Tips
When applying concealer for under eye, it’s best to use a
concealer brush to ensure lightweight and even application. Blend with the
concealer brush as well then use your fingers to gently press for adherence.
Finish with face powder to set the concealer.
Overall
Overall I would repurchase this MAC Pro Longwear Concealer and
recommend if you are looking for good coverage at a relatively reasonable
price. I hope you find this review and my tip helpful! Please check out my blog
