MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

The Pro Longwear concealer comes in a glass, pump jar. The packaging is quite sleek and it has a nice weight to it. The concealer is slightly stick and creamy and a little of this product goes a long way. I don’t have dark circles under my eyes and only need concealer to cover the redness in my cheeks as well as some light freckles under my eyes. This concealer is matte and light enough to feel like nothing on my skin, but concentrated enough to have enough coverage to cover my imperfections. I was so amazed by how well this concealer blends in with your natural skin. After applying this concealer at the MAC store, I knew I had to buy it because the concealer looked so incredibly natural! I only used a quarter of a pump to cover my entire cheek area and it gave my skin a flawless finish.

I have found this to be a very affective product to use to cover my red cheeks. It provides very good coverage in just one squirt from this small bottle. I use it under my foundation and found that this is the best way, it really does make a huge difference in the consistency of foundation layer. It does not make me cakey or make me look like i have layers of make up on. This product comes in many different nude colours to match your skin.

I have found this to be the best concealer for minimizing my dark under eye area. It’s moisturising enough for under the eyes and firm enough for blemishes. Its thick and creamy but doesn't leave me cakey. I do battle with under eye concealer creasing but I lightly set this with powder. I have used mine sparingly as I feel the price is a bit on the high side but on the plus side a little has lasted me a long time. I absolutely love the packaging - all concealers should come in pump bottle form.
Would I repurchase? Probably. With my own money? No - definitely the Hubbys.

So, after wanting to try this concealer for a really long time - I finally took the plunge and bought it for R320! Most people don't even spend this much on foundation.

1 Pump is quite a bit of product, but I devided that 1 pump into 4 by applying it on both lids and both under eye areas.

It does a fantastic job as an eye primer as well as an under eye concealer. The pigment is ridiculous, but at the same time the formula is so lightweight and comfortable.

Unfortunately, it creases on my under eye, but I am very happy to report that it creases the least of everything that I have ever tried.

This is also the most long wearing formula I have ever tried. If set with a powder - it does not budge at all during the day.

I am officially a fan and will keep repurchasing this product despite the fact that it is super expensive, because it is truly worth every cent.

I used to wear a medium coverage foundation without any concealer. Since then I've used a light coverage foundation and concealer to cover my few imperfections. When I went shopping for a concealer I wanted something creamy that would work with my dry skin as well as have enough coverage so that I don't have to build it up. I actually didn't think this would work for me. But it is amazing! Covers whatever you want to cover and is a great addition to my makeup routine! Lasts really long and is well pigmented! I am happy with my purchase!

LOVE this - If only this product was cheaper!! :(
By far my best concealer - so creamy and blendable :)
Lasts quite a while - one pump goes a long way!;)
I have nc20 and nw25 - I blend them to get the perfect colour.
Would definitely repurchase! X

I have tried many concealers over the years and, without sounding like almost every other beauty blogger on the internet, I absolutely love this product.

The price is not ideal (although, this is MAC we are talking about). I purchased mine recently for R255. The bottle is quite small which makes the price even more steep. I am not a fan of the pump which produces the product as, with just one pump, I often end up with more product than I need. I use it mainly to conceal under my eyes and I have experienced little creasing. It does have a highlighting effect which I personally like.

The texture is smooth and consistent. It blends into my skin well, matches my fair skin tone perfectly (NC 15) and lasts on my face all day.

It has lasted me quite long and I would be eager to repurchase this product when it is finished.

A definite recommendation if you can get passed the price.

I have pretty much only ever seen fantastic reviews of this item and it seems to be the Holy Grail product of many of my favourite Youtube gurus but it just doesn't do it for me. At R240 for a miniscule tube it is crazy expensive. I find the consistency is cakey and it highlights my eyes more than concealing and considering that it is most certainly NOT a highlighter it is a bit disappointing. I don't think I would repurchase this one.

This concealer really does last a very long time. On the packaging it says it should last 15 hours. I wouldn’t know since I only wear makeup for a maximum of 8 hours. But it lasted all day without any touch ups, which is great because I don’t like having to bother touching up during the day.

The concealer does not leave a cakey finish if you apply the right amount of it (which is very little). I accidently applied too much when I first started using it and it looked cakey and unflattering. So if you consider to buy this product, use only a little of the product. You can use a small fluffy brush like MAC 217 to apply it, or use your fingers (make sure they’re clean). I prefer using my fingers because the concealer blends more easily with the warmth of your hands.
