In Detail MAC Pro Longwear Concealer Review, Swatches and My Experience
MAC prolongwear concealer comes in a little cylindrical pump dispenser packaging which is almost equal to the size of a standard MAC lipstick. In fact if I put it in its black carton box, its almost difficult to tell this from a boxed lipstick.
Whenever I don't sleep enough, my eyes start punishing me with some under eye dullness which I normally don't usually have. So I was looking for a good concealer which would give me a brightening effect and at the same time conceal the dull areas. Taskpaper 3 7 4 – simple to do list. Well now I am super happy to have found this one. I was matched to the shade NC 30.
The concealer is creamy in consistency, not too thick or thin. The texture is easy to work with and applies smoothly on the skin. It does set pretty quickly though so I have to make sure to blend it well before it sets. Thus always keep in mind that this should be the first product you want to blend.

What I love the most about this concealer is the way it controls oils on my skin. It keeps my skin looking matte for long durations inspite of my super oily-combi skin. This concealer literally lasts on me for a good 12 hours without creasing, caking or melting. However it is a very matte product so if you have dry skin and have dry patches around the eye, this might actually accentuate them instead of hiding. Coverage wise I have to say I get a medium coverage out of it with a single decent layer. But the coverage sure is buildable.
The only problem I have with the concealer is its pump. Although the pump might look so tiny, it dispenses a lot of product in a single push. It results in product wastage. After 3-4 times, I really had to be super careful while applying pressure on the top because I wanted it to give out just the right amount of product. But you know what, lets be practical. Its not always possible to remember this and so what I do is, I usually have this sample jar on my vanity; and I keep the extra dispensed product in it. Later on, I mix that with my moisturiser and it works great as a brightening tinted moisturiser.
Overall I have to give this concealer a big thumbs up for its amazing quality and performance. Love the way it evens out everything. Lasts all day without creasing or melting even on oily skin like mine. Its sure a must have if you are someone who likes long wearing brightening concealer with medium to full buildable coverage. Make sure you get the exact shade which you want, so always a good idea to grab a sample and try it on at home before purchasing it.

PROs of MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
1. Long wearing, gives a natural finish.
2. Gives a brightening effect all along its wear time.
3. Lasts 12+ hours without creasing, caking or melting.
4. My oily-combination skin loves its mattifying power.
5. Medium coverage, buildable to provide a full coverage.
CONs of MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
1. The pump is pretty bad, dispenses extra product which is wasted most of the times.
2. The concealer sets quickly, so you have to be blend quickly or else it can set into fine lines.
3. Dry skin beauties would need to use some moisturiser before applying it or it can be too drying for them.
MBF Advises
1. If you have a bit of extra concealer left, mix it with your regular moisturiser and it works great as a tinted face moisturiser.
2. Always test out the sample under different light conditions before buying it.
3. Because this concealer sets so quickly, you might try doing one eye makeup at a time.

Ya know…sometimes you just need to wear a little pink glitter to go with your pink cat socks!
The glittery pink on my lids is MAC Explosive Chemistry from the new super sparkly Extra Dimension Foil Eye Shadow line of intensely shiny glittery powder shadows in a foil base.
I've been playing with 'em and have consequently figured out a few things…
The MAC Extra Dimension Foil Eye Shadows
- Ditch the brush. If you want to take advantage of the glistening, gleaming foiled finish, use your fingers to apply them. Not brushes. Because brushes end up just pushing the shadow around and mellowing out the highly reflective finish.
- Skip the setting spray, too. I've tried applying these shadows wet to test if they look shinier (with a finger sprayed with setting spray), and it makes absolutely no difference in the payoff. You really don't need that extra step!
- And while you're at it, pooh-pooh the primer. Typically, with a bold foil or glitter, I'd reach for a primer to help the sparkles stick to my lids, but this formula doesn't need it. It happily sticks to bare skin.
Sale alert!
Apply to skin directly using finger or with concealer brush.

If you're interested and want to save a few bucks, FYI, I hopped on the MAC site yesterday and found out they were marked down from $21 to $12.60. Only the red, silver and white with multicolor pearl are still available, but I would keep checking back because you never know if and when they'll restock more.
The Foils are also on sale on the Nordstrom site for $17.85. Macy's has them on sale for the same price as well! http://hkkfoa.xtgem.com/Blog/__xtblog_entry/19292750-civ-6-gold-cheat#xt_blog. Last time I checked, Explosive Chemistry was available on both Nordstrom and Macy's.
Tips for wearing pink eyeshadow
I know you're probably thinking, 'When am I EVER going to wear a warm pink glitter on my lids?' but listen. You *can* do it in a way that is daytime friendly and super wearable, and all you have to do is…
- Sweep a warm orangey brown matte or satin shadow into your crease to counter-balance the flashy glitter. You could do something like MAC Soft Brown or Saddle. Your favorite bronzer will work too (mine is MAC Give Me Sun, which I'm wearing here).
- Swap your standard-issue black liner with a brown. It's softer than black, yet yields a similar effect by defining your lash and waterlines.
- Summon your concealer. I'm a huge advocate for skipping under-eye concealer when you can, but with pink shadow, I don't think that's an option. Pink shadow can sometimes make you look like you've been crying, and wearing concealer helps to lessen the effect.
- BASE:MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC42 mixed with Strobe Cream in Pink Lite
