MAC Pro Longwear Concealer Review

This is definitely the best concealer I have used. It goes in smoothly, and stays on longer than other concealers I have tried. The only issue for me is that quite a bit of concealer comes out of the pump and it feels like a waste of product. I now put it into a little jar and use it from that!

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!

Another product that i had heard so much about. This product reputation meant i had high, high expectations for it, and because it is expensive, it had to be amazing to justify a price tag that big.

It comes in a tiny bottle, and i mean smaller than a mac lipstick. It comes in clear packaging, with a black pump like dispenser. Which is something i don't like about the product. I wish it had a wand because that is how i like applying concealer, but hey! I can't be too fussy about the design when the product is this good.

And when i say good, i mean good. I have it in the shade NC 35 (when my foundation shade is NC 42), and this colour seems to be a perfect match for my skin tone. The concealer is a quite thick, but spreads easily, and conceals everything. Darkness and pigmentation issues disappear. Plus i also use this over my eye-lid because it is an amazing eyes shadow primer, so you really do get some bang for your buck.

One negative is, i don't think it last for 15 hours. In all honesty, i have not worn in for 15 hours, but by the time i wash my makeup off (10 hours after putting it on), my concealer has definitely worn.

Love the formula but under my eyes I do find that it creases. A little goes a long way so despite its small size it is worthwhile. Always be careful with where you put it as it is very breakable.

Great product, AMAZING coverage and I love it so much I'm on my second round of this product. It's great in the under eye area and it's also great as a concealer to cover redness/blemishes (and it doesn't make me break out - bonus). My two irritations are: 1) The pump sucks. It squirts out far too much product which is wasteful! I can't always master a teeny press on the pump to get the perfect amount. 2) I can't get quite the right colour. I've got NW20 and NW25. One is too light, the other too dark, so I have to mix them up. dumb! That aside, this is the best concealer I've used.

This is one of those concealers that is hard to find or rather hard to dupe by other companies. The coverage this gives is quite high and so good. It does settle a wee bit fine lines i find and is also quite drying but not such a great extent where i wouldn't use it again. I don't think its long lasting like it claims because by the end of the day my dark circles would peep through. The bottle looks tiny but it will last you so long because you only need a little bit or else it can look a little cakey. What i hate about it though is the.. PUMP! I hate it so much that i pump it into a pottle so that I'm not wasting it when i don't use the full pump. Also the price for its size is a little off putting but thats why its an investment. Its an awesome product. Just make sure you set this with powder and its good to go. You also do kinda need to have a great skin for this to sit on your skin flawless but other that that, its just fantastic.

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

Can I just start off by saying...WOW! This concealer is FANTASTIC! I read a lot of reviews before buying because as we all know by now makeup in nz is extremely expensive compared to the US and Uk, so I wanted to know I was getting my money's worth. I thought that such a small pump wouldn't last me very long but I have had it for a good 7 months now and I use it every day and it's still over half full! A little bit goes a very long way. It's perfect for highlighting the face and your regular concealing and what more could you want! I did read in reviews that it was high high coverage and I have to say I disagree with that, it has a very reasonable coverage but I would say about a medium coverage which you could build up to a semi-full coverage, but none the less I love this product. I tried the studio finish concealer and although Mac is my #1 brand I absolutely hated it so my hopes weren't very high for this concealer but it is now one of my holy grail base products and I'm glad I took the plunge to buy it, It is the best under eye concealer I have tried in a long time and it covers blemishes reasonably well, and like the name suggests i find it stays a long long time! Sometimes on those no-makeup makeup days I will apply a primer and then spot conceal with my Prolongwear concealer and I'm good to go, I find I don't even need to powder this concealer it sets so well! I am in the shade nc15 (sad I know) and it is just the perfect shade, mac is very well known for their amazing colour range and I firmly agree, this product is definitely one of my #1s I would recommend to anyone wanting to try it.

Absolute favourite concealer, although I haven't used much else since I discovered it. Definitely covers my under eye circles and doesn't crease, the only time it feels cakey is when i put far too much makeup on and its my own fault. Light enough to wear on its own. I use nw20 as got colourmatched at MAC, but feel I should be another shade down. So expensive to get another, but when you have the right shade it lasts forever. One pump is tonnes!
