Amazballs!!

This is the product of all products!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Sorry about the caps but it is soo worth the money. Feels great on the skin, doesnt move like other concealers and blurrs out any imperfections with a great finish. Also the girls/guys at the MAC counter are great at matching you up to your correct colour.

Ehh.. I hate to be saying this but the only thing I would love for them to change would be the pump, as it does dispurse too much product in my opinion. But once you get the hang of it, it is definately worth the purchase. I am also very curious to see how it works on a more mature skin. So I guess I will undate you when that time comes ;)

My most recommended product of the moment! Soo... What are you waiting for! Go and get it now ;P

Tips: A little bit goes a long way! You only need to use about half a pump (if you are just using it to highlight and conceal the under eye area) so just be very careful when trying to get the product out of the bottle. If you do manage to get too much just use it along the bridge of your nose, forehead (between your brows, think upside down triangle), cupids bow and a little bit on the chin to help balance out the rest of your face and give a great highlight. I use my damp Beauty Blender to apply and set with either Mac Mineralized Skin Finish in light of Bare Minerals undereye setting powder in "well rested". Gives a beautiful finish!! It also works well as an eye primer as it does have a technology in it to not settle in any fine lines or wrinkles ;)

great coverage

this product colours any redness i have or any undereye circles the only problem is its very hard to get a little bit of product out and always seem to get to much

Tips: i find using your finger and tapping the concealer into your skin works really well

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer.

I am very impressed with this concealer.

I ordered this online and was a little bit nervous because I wasn't sure if the colour would be right. But when it arrived I was impressed. I always go for a lighter concealer because I only use it under my eyes.

It doesn't crease, which is amazing for me because I have really “creasy” eyes.

It conceals all day, and doesn't budge, it covers my dark circles well and seems to make my eyes look less puffy.

My only issue with this concealer is the pump, it is very stiff and with force it pushes right down and gives you way too much product.

Love, love, love this!

I have been looking for a concealer that conceals my horrible dark circles under my eyes for so long and I finally tried the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer and it is amazing!

As well as using it under my eyes, I also use it over my foundation on my cheek bones as they go very red, and it is the first concealer that I have used that still covers up the redness until the end of the day.

It comes in a cute little pump bottle which I can tell is going to last for ages because you only need the smallest bit. A few people have complained that too much comes out when you push down on the pump, but if you push it slowly and gently you can get a really small amount.

Overall I love this concealer and will never use anything else!

Tips: Push the pump slowly and gently to get a small amount of concealer - you don't need much!

A great high end concealer

I have been wanting to try this for a long time-and Im not disappointed. The formula is gorgeous, extremely blendable and applies well. I use a NC15 as im very pale and use it for brightening my undereye rather than concealing spots per se, and love it. It blends beautifully, and definitely brightens up this area. I have HUGE problems with under eye circles and creasing, and this concealer really helps with those issues-although mine is so bad I use a couple other products to help. It lasts incredibly well, and the packaging is nice and not at all cheap feeling, however the pump is quite generous and you really need the smallest amount of product.

Holy Grail

I purchased this direct from the US Mac website (using Youshop to get it to NZ) after hearing so many rave reviews about this product. I wasn't particularly hopeful as I always find concealers are either not high coverage enough, look dry on my under eye or settle into my fine lines and I have had many hyped up products disappoint me. This pleasantly surprised me and really lived up to the hype!

I have very fair skin and dark under eye circles and this is the best thing I have found so far at concealing them. I purchased the wrong shade initially, but ended up with NW15 which is a good match for me.

The packaging is nice looking and I love that is comes with a pump, but, I'm a little worried about breaking the tube as it is thin glass (and I'm clumsy and have seen horrific pictures online of broken ones). The pump also dispenses far to much product, which is a bit of a pain as this is an expensive product and I hate wasting it.

I found this covered my dark circles well, is high coverage, lasted the entire day without creasing and maintained a nice looking finish. It is a relatively liquid concealer and is super easy to blend into the skin and foundation seamlessly. I like that it is creamy as for someone like me with dry skin it leaves a much better finish than some drier concealers. It does however smell a bit like paint, but, I only notice this initially not while wearing the product.

I will definitely be repurchasing this and would recommend it to all. I really didn't think it would live up to the hype, but, it does! It is expensive compared to most concealers, but, it lasts a while and really is worth it as it does the job like no other!

Tips: Remember MACs shade naming system is backwards to most brands. NC is yellow toned (warm) and NW is pink toned (cool). This confused me to start with and I ended up with a yellow toned product which really didn't match my cool pink toned skin.

Also, set your concealer with a fine powder to increase longevity.

Appropriately named

I feel like my opinion on this concealer is a bit redundant as it is just confirming what everyone else is saying...IT IS LIFE!

Slight exaggeration, maybe, but this stuff really has changed my life! It took me months to purchase this after it was first recommended to me. Rookie error.

This concealer has the fullest coverage and the BEST staying power, it does not budge! I use it in NW20 and it somehow works for both my under eyes, and blemishes, hurrah! It does crease a little under my eyes, but I am yet to find a concealer that doesn't.

I normally use my finger to tap in concealer, but to get the best finish with this particular one, I need to use a concealer brush (or in my case, the crease brush from Real Techniques).

Yes the pump pumps out way too much product - see my tip below on how I combat this. It certainly is not enough of a frustration to change my opinion on this concealer, I am a convert!

I purchased my first bottle 2months ago, use it about 3-4 times p/wk and it barely looks touched. A little goes such a long way, so I can foresee this lasting me a good year, such a great investment!

Tips: Keep a little pot/tub of some kind handy to pump this in to, it means one pump will last approx 3 days (usage dependent), as opposed to pumping the excessive amount on to your hand etc and having it go to waste :)

Aw I don't have a MAC foundation so I'm unsure on that one sorry doll. Maybe if you don't live near a MAC to be able to test it you could give them a call? You'll love it though x

I'm really keen to get this, it sounds great. I'm thinking of ordering this online. Are you nw20 in foundation too..wondering if I should match it to my foundation colour or go slightly lighter? x

I wish I loved this more than I do

I don't know what what it is but this concealer isn't the best I have ever used. For some reason it just doesn't work for me and I'm unsure if Ive been colour matched wrong but It just doesn't conceal my blue under eye tones. Also as I am very sensitive around my eyes I find it hurts as I blend it out. I find you really need to blend it out a lot. I

I do however think its good at concealing around my nose area and when I have problem areas.

Its extremely good value for money I have had mine for over year now and its no wear near close to running out. I like how its in a pump bottle as I don't think concealers with a dofer are sanitary. However I find I always waste heaps as its hard to control the size of the pump.

When my bottle runs out I'm going to go get rematched and see if that is my issue.

Tips: A little goes a long way! You just need to blend it out heaps!!

New holy grail

I never thought I would ever move away from my concealer love affair with Mac select cover up - but I have and I am not looking back. This did not crease at all (although I did set it with bare minerals well rested and the 'banana' shade from the Australis kit). Easy to blend out (I just dabbed with my finger). Perfect PUUUURRRRFECT full coverage and an incredible satin finish (not matte and not dewy on me). The formula is definitely top notch. A little goes a long way so beware when applying. Like half a pea size for each eye (top of brow bone down the side of the nose and up in a triangle towards the temple). Works great as an eye primer too. 6/5 from me.

Tips: A little goes a long way. Great as an eye primer too.

Over Hyped

Pro long wear is a staple product in most beauty gurus make up bags! And I just don't get it, it is thin with an odd texture that I can best describe as watery. It definitely doesn't even remotely conceal my cavernous dark under eye area, and I find it prone to creasing, even when set. The packaging as beautiful as it looks is impractical for travelling and I have seen many heartbreaking pics of broken vials. I also dislike the pump - far too much comes out, I waste so much of it! As much as it pains me I just can't think of anything positive to say about this product (and I'm such a Mac fan)

Tips: Don't assume your shade will be the same as your foundation, my NC20 is far lighter than my two NC20 foundations! Thank goodness I didn't go a shade lighter when purchasing!
