MAC Pro Longwear Foundation Review

I brought Mac Pro long wear foundation for the first time not long ago, and I must say I'm a fan, it's a light weight foundation that still manges to give a nice coverage without a caked on over done look, it' wears well and doesnt make my skin oily.

when I purchased this mac foundation I believed it gave me a flawless finish. a few months down the track reaching the bottom of the bottle I have started to experience pimples appearing on certain areas of my face , I clean my makeup every night but doesn't seem to clear the issue as fast as it should. now that I have minimised the use of this products I am starting to see results!

I tried this recently to wear for the day. I found the coverage not very full, and it felt very drying on the skin. I'm sure i could have built it up a bit more though, and have to admit it sat nicely on the skin..for about half an hour. I got it put on for me at a counter, and then went about my day. I found that my skin started to feel quite dry, and i ended up going into a bathroom taking it off and putting my loreal infallible back on instead. this might be great on an oilier skin, but if its dry, stay away!

I used this Foundation for years after discovering it, I WANTED a medium to full coverage foundation. This foundation really gives my face a glow and doesn't look oily which I love, It sets very well and blends well with blushes and bronzers. I have an pale skin tone so I use NC/NW15. As for breakouts didn't experience any with these products and I do occasionally get breakouts. make sure to use makeup remover wipes before you wash your face. I use an angled foundation brush to apply this from RT and the combo works great. This is a long lasting foundation and I have a lot of redness on my skin, which it covers. I also have combo skin, this is the best foundation I have found thus far.

Holy grail foundation!!!!!!!!!! Stays on all day, it won't budge, even after wiping my face, going for a swim in the lake for a couple of hours, being in the sun, it stays put. Covers everything that needs covered and keep oil at bay and doesn't cling to dry patches, love love love!!!!!

So far this is my HG foundation and believe me I have tried a lot! I love MACs range of shade ( make color matching during winter and summer a breeze ) and this truly is long wearing. I have quite oily skin and could never find a foundation that would last the day until I was introduced to pro long wear and now I even use it on my brides and my own big day :) Highly recommend!

It works well, says what it says it will do and will stay on with the right primer. But I always felt like I could never get the exact shade I needed no matter what I did. I also felt like it wasn't that light weight and it didn't blend well. I'm onto the DW now.

The only foundation that I bought more than 3x and finished the whole bottle to its last bit! That's how much I loved this foundation! It worked in my acne- prone skin, and lasted in my face for a good 14 hour without touch ups. The coverage can go from medium up to full and the longevity is amazing especially me with the oiliest skin possible. It also said that it is non- transferrable which I agree. I would try blot my face with a tissue and there is close to no transfer at all. Ofcourse it is not 100% non- transferrable, I would say 95%! It also does not feel heavy or look thick in my face through out the day. Another thing I like is how spot on the color match is!

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.

After running out of my MAC studio fix I felt like i had to get it again so I went into a mac store but they did not have my colour in the studio fix and I couldn't wait for it to come in again so I decided to the Pro long wear. I really regret doing that as I feel like Its not full coverage so Im applying a lot more product than need be, but could be a could product if full coverage is not needed for your skin type but for me personally would not be buying again
