MAC Pro Longwear Concealer Review

I purchased this concealer after watching too many Shaaanxo clips lol I have very slight wrinkles under my eyes, so I chose this one as Shaaanxo says it does not crease under the eye. I use the ELF undereye setting powder on top of this and have had no creasing whatsoever. I love this product. Definitely a must have. It gives great coverage, minimises the appearance of wrinkles and adds a highlighted appearance under the eye. I do find however, that it dries rather quickly but it does blend easily into my foundation when applying. Only real letdown with this concealer is the amount of product that comes out of the pump. Far too much comes out and I find I end up wasting a lot of product.

I have the shade nw20 and its perfect, conceals all my spots and hides my dark under eye circles. I find its easy to apply and very creamy with a full coverage. I was a bit shocked by the size as it is small and it is pricey but I think its worth it, as a little goes a long way. I brought it directly from mac online so was cheaper then in store prices but still had to pay for shipping which is expensive. This would be one of my all time favorite concealers that I have tried. The packaging is lovely, wee glass vial and standard black box.

I was excited to try this concealer after reading so much hype.

The MAC lady said to buy one lighter than my foundation which I did. I found it great to brighten my under eye and for highlighting. The product didn't sink into the lines or crease which I was stoked about. It lasted me all day too.

In terms of concealing the rest of my skin I didn't particularly like using it for that. Because it was a lighter shade it really drew attention to such areas.

I was a bit mad at myself for not purchasing another one in the same shade as my foundation, as I think that'll be more fitting for concealing scars etc.

Firstly I absolutely love the coverage and colour! I use NW15 and find just a little bit covers dark circles & blemishes like a dream and blends out amazingly pretty much leaving my flaws erased. I haven't had and issues with creasing or it becoming patchy during the day though I do set my entire face with a translucent powder as part of my daily routine due to my t-zone becoming a bit oily. the packaging is a great idea, it's small and sleek but the pump has room for improvement- I find it difficult to get a half pump out so sometimes I'm left with a bit of waste which is unfortunate.

I have two little glass tubes of this, one in NC20 and the other in NW15. I use the NC 20 for covering up any imperfections on my face and NW 15 is perfect as an under eye concealer or highlighter. This does not crease! Holy crap it doesn't! Creasing has never been a big problem for me but I know heaps of people find its a big problem so I'm just putting it out there. The coverage is lovely, very natural and very long lasting on my skin. The texture is very liquidy that you'll be surprised at how well it cover. Two complaints though. The smell. It smells disgusting, smells like sweat or something, why would anyone want to formulate their concealer to smell like that, beats me. I usually need to hold my nose when applying this. Secondly the pump. It's inconvenient and puts me off from using it on a daily basis because I'm always scared I'll pump out too much (Which usually happens). The fact that the tube is made of glass makes it very prone to breakage so that's a nother con. Overall the concealer itself is great, and even these cons liusted won't stop me from using this

I wasn't going to buy anything when I went to mac with my friend but this product just fit my skintone so well when the expert brushed in my face so had to buy this one haha :D

Love the texture of the concealer and love the colour but that pumping type just ruins the right amount that I need!!!!! it is hard to pump the right amount!!!!! so sometimes I use it as more of foundation since it pumps out so much. haha other then that, its perfect perfect coverage. it may be bit dry but for me, I use oil before that so it was never dry for me. :)

I really enjoy this concealer, its a natural matte finish, it has great coverage, it last all day my only problem is the pump, it squirts out too much product. I find it last 9 hours easy on me. huge color range, hate the pump and the glass packaging

I don’t blame anyone making a face at the price when they see how small the bottle is but this is one of those products that is worth the investment and will last you some time. I can’t recall how long I’ve had this product but it’s definitely been a long time and I’ve finally just got under the half way mark so don’t be fooled by the small size. I bought this from MAC US (via Shipito) in the shade NC35 to use on my skintone NC42-44.

I don’t really have dark circles under my eyes to conceal so I use this product more so for highlighting under my eyes, up on the planes of my cheeks and down the sides of my nose. It has quite a thick consistency so it does require more blending than my other favourite concealers. I use a makeup sponge spritzed with Fix+ to blend the concealer into my skin and sometimes regardless of how well I blend, there is still slight creasing under my eyes. When this happens, I always avoid setting (my undereyes) with powder because it just looks ghastly.

The product has amazing coverage but I don’t know about it being lightweight?? I do find this the most “heavy duty” concealer I own but I guess it depends on how much you use and how well you blend it out. When I set the concealer in other areas on my face it generally lasts well into the afternoon; however without setting it, it generally begins to break up by the afternoon so not so sure about this "pro longwear" business. It’s not a noticeable difference to others but on my oily skin it’s not too hard to tell which is why I put in the effort to blend it well.

One thing I dislike about the product is the pump dispenser! Try as you might; you’ll most likely dispense way too much for what you need. I seriously need half the amount that is dispensed so it’s frustrating knowing that I need to try and make use of the ‘extra’ product. You can’t put it back into the bottle and I’m not one who likes to store excess product outside of it’s normal packaging because I feel like this product is as good as it is thanks to the packaging.

I would definitely repurchase this product but recommend going into MAC to ask for a sample so you can see what shade will work for you best. I used online swatches to figure mine out but nothing beats the real thing.
