MAC Pro Longwear Foundation Review

My all time favourite foundation! Lasts all day, really natural and buildable.. great for everyday and for a special occassion. DEFZ A MUST HAVE!!!!

I recently got this product for my birthday and I love it already! It has really nice coverage for daytime wear and lasts ALL day - especially when set with a powder. I wear it with MAC mineralise concealer for full coverage. It goes on really easily - I usually apply with a flat foundation brush, but I'm sure it could be buffed in with a kabuki or applied with a sponge. I generally have dry skin and it seems to be quite moisturising to wear! Feels really light on the skin too

I switched to this foundation as MAC discontinued my last foundation (something which they tend to do quite a bit...) and wasn't disappointed. I was used to using foundation sticks but this transition was easy! Bought it duty free so it was cheaper than online/in-store and the sales assistant was so helpful considering I had been on my way home for 24 hours! The coverage is fantastic and blends well. Would also add that I was a bit concerned the bottle would mean it ended up all over the inside of my handbag but it was fine.

I love this foundation. By far the best one I have ever used. Although it took me few visits to MAC store to get the right color for my skin. Had to giveaway the ones didnt suit my skin tone to friends and relatives. Yes, ouch says my wallet! Hey no complaints now, I have found the right foundation with the right color to match my skin tone :) I used this product for my wedding too and everyone complimented on the flawless makeup I was sporting that didn't touch up at all. This foundation does last long. I sometime use it to work as well and it make me look fresh all day.

This is what I currently use, it was recommended to me by a make-up artist. I wear this to work and on nights out with a translucent powder over the top and it stays on all day. Enough coverage to hide imperfections but not so much that you cannot see my skin through it.

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.

Everyone does talk Pro Longwear up but I unfortunately have found some flaws.

Don't get me wrong, it's long lasting and doesn't get patchy throughout the day. I do however, find that after a few hours the finish does get a bit tacky and doesn't look that great in photos. I love love love it however, as it does last the day.

I apply pro longwear then apply MAC mineralize liquid foundation to areas that I want high lighted. I apply it to my cheeks, chin and forehead then contour, blush and highlight as per normal. This method is how I get the BEST finish and wear out of Pro Longwear.

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 !

MAC Pro Longwear is amazing! I personally always own a MAC Foundation at one point in time, and it’s either Studio Fix or Pro Longwear. Still trying to work out which one I prefer better, but with the staying power that comes with the MAC Pro Longwear I think I’m starting to find a favourite.

Most of us are all after the same thing when it comes to foundation, something that will last? Well, most products I have found claim to last all day in some way or another. But this one little beauty ticks nearly all the boxes. It can applied for a light coverage but also built up to a more heavier coverage. The foundation initially gave a dewy finish, but I usually set my foundation with Rimmel “Stay Matte” Powder.
