MAC Pro Longwear Foundation Review

I bought this lovely foundation in N18 after consulting with a MAC artist/salesperson. She was extremely helpful and did my face so I could see how it looked. I used to sweat profusely (I don't so much now) so I asked for make-up that could hold up against perspiration, and this certainly does. It is a thicker viscosity than I am used to but it blends super-easily and plays well with others (I use setting powder, bronzer, highlighter, blusher). I have a reddish pale complexion so I am very wary of foundations that either highlight this or look orange and/or muddy. The smell is neutral and the pump bottle doesn't release too much at a time. I use a brush and dispense from the side of my hand. The bottle has a handy lock function so it doesn't spill in your make-up bag. It is a high-end foundation, at an rrp of $72, but you are wise to spend on a quality base.

I just love this foundation. It comes in a very pretty dispense glass bottle. They have the perfect shade for my skin i just always have to wait a lonh time for a mac person to help me.

This foundation i easilu buildable and i applu 2 laywrs and that gives me the full cover that i want and it has a nice matt finish.

love this foundation! i was put off buying it as it is quite pricey and i already have the revlon colorstay foundation but this foundation is great! matches my skin really well and most importantly stays on my skin ALL DAY. At the end of the day it still looks the same as when i first applied it. Also doesn't feel very heavy on the skin even though it has a good coverage - which is also a plus!

Love this foundation it's my go to, especially since it sells the right skin shade, when most beauty companies don't. Been using this foundation for a couple years have yet to find anything better

I own MAC pro-longwear foundation in NW20 for summer and N18 for the rest of the year and it is my number 1, go-to foundation.

I find it gives a medium coverage and manages to stay on my skin all day long, even when I'm at work.. and I'm a swimming teacher!!

I apply it using either a stippling brush or a buffing brush, but its so versatile you could almost use anything. I find that if you want a fuller coverage, some concealer and a bit of setting powder does the trick.

I also love the pump bottle, its not messy like my Revlon colorstay and the pump can lock so it can't mess up your make-up bag and you won't lose any product.

I really love this foundation, the only down-side is that it is a bit pricey for my everyday foundation at around 70 NZD, so I do end up opting for my colorstay quite often.

I am used to using double wear (which is very matte), so when I started using this , my skin looked really natural and dewy. The coverage is average and I use the prolongwear concealer(which is also great) to hide my flaws and I love the finish.

I use this in the colder drier season because I have very oily skin and it makes me look greasy in the hot season. This doesnt accentuate dry patches and with a little bit of setting powder it lasts long !

This is the first MAC foundation I have bought and used and I am pleasantly delighted by it. It gives me a nice medium coverage that is has a quite natural finish to it. I find it perfect for myself as it is a foundation I can wear during my day to day life but also when I am going out at night time. It is a lightweight and creamy formula that stays on all day despite feeling like a have nothing on. I apply it with either a flat-top brush or beauty blender but find applying it with a beauty blender gives it a more flawless finish.

I love this foundation. it does everything i want it to do. I had never really used MAC products before untill my mum brought it for me and now its the only foundation i like to use. I like how its a pump lid rather than a squeeze bottle as i dont get to much out at one go and end up wasting it. I Really like how it feels on as other foundation i had used in the past felt heavy but this feels nice on my skin.

MAC has done another great job with the Pro Longwear Foundation.

We all know how big MAC has a variety of colours to suite all skin tones so I was very happy when I found a colour that suited me perfectly down to every last detail. It has a creamy formula that is easily applied with any and every technique, I use a stipple brush and then come in with my beauty blender for under my eyes etc and i leave the house happy with my application every day.

It has a great coverage, I was told that it was full coverage but on my skin it is not perfectly covered but that's okay as it hides all my major flaws and the most dreaded parts. This lasts all day and I have had no need for touch ups while wearing this product which I enjoy as i do not like having to touch up during a busy day. Something I loved about this was that I didn't break out, sometimes going to a new foundation especially one that has quite a full coverage, I found I broke out but with this I didn't so very happy about that.

Packaging was the normal MAC bottles in the 30ml size, yes it is quite costly but when you are getting a great product that lasts, who cares, it is worth a try.

Overall great product, highly recommend and would buy myself again.

While this is not my favourite foundation, it rates right up there. The colour match is almost perfect, and when used with a primer, it has great staying power. it combats my oily t-zone well, while it does not cling to my dry patches. It blends well with a flat top brush, and soaks into my pore as opposed to sitting on the surface of the skin. Good buildable coverage.Definitely worth trying.
