Swatches: L-R: Bobbi brown moisture rich Alabaster, MAC Pro longwear NC 15, Burberry Trench #1.Īlthough this medium coverage foundation sets quite quickly, it blends really well and evens out the skin tone with a natural semi matte finish. It is a bit too dark for me but I can blend it enough to make it wearable. I had to buy the Pro Longwear Foundation (£22) in NC15 as they don't do it in a NW15 which seemed a bit odd. This is a definite re-buy for me due to the texture. It does last very well and I have managed to go without powder on top of it.
I woke up with really puffy eyes this morning so this is not the most pleasant before and after picture but I don't like to sugar coat things, I have just applied less than half a squirt under the eyes and on the surrounding area (coverage can be built up more than what I have done). It manages to give a natural matte finish, it doesn't settled in lines under my eyes, nor looks dry. It covers well, although doesn't completely block out my darkness. One squirt of this pigmented, creamy concealer is enough for my under eye area and any facial redness and I still have a bit over. As you can see there is a lot of variant. Click here for the review of the Select Cover Up Concealer by MAC.I bought the Pro Longwear Concealer (£12.50) in shade NW15, for comparison the swatches of my other MAC foundations (all NW15) L-R: select moisture cover, pro longwear, studio finish.
It retails for $21.00/19.20€ for 9 ml of product (or 0.30 US fl oz) and it’s a permanent product, available online on MAC’s website and in all MAC stores and corners. I’m really not into the glass bottle, because it’s very fragile and a bit “dangerous” to put it in the bag and the pump releases way too much product for what I and most people need. I think that, if well applied, it can perform as a camouflage concealer and still result natural on the skin. Since it’s longwearing, it may tend to dry the skin, especially on the dry skins (use a good moisturizing cream or some kind of oil and a primer), but on me works fine and doesn’t crease (i immediately set it with powder) or smudge. It’s even recommended as an eyeshadow base too and sometimes, instead of using a foundation, I mix it with a moisturizer and I apply it all over the face with a wet Miracle Complexion Sponge to even out my skin and looks very natural. If you apply it light handed, it can even provide a medium natural coverage. It’s part of the Back to Mac program too!
#MAC CONCEALER COMPARISON FULL#
What I love about this product is that it’s very versatile, longlasting/waterproof, full coverage and a little bit goes a long way. NC 20 It’s definitely warmer and love it too.NC 15 Tends to be a tiny bit more neutral, almost cooler, but it looks very good on me.
When I’m at my “palest” or when I want a very bright and fresh undereye area I go for NC15, when I’m tan I go for my NC20. I’m in between NC15 and NC20 and I usually mix them. It’s described as a “ fluid concealer that provides medium to full matte coverage for up to 15 hours” with a “ liquid camouflage-like formula that brightens dark areas, erases spots and evens skin tone”. I got it some months ago, because I was looking for a very high coverage concealer that I could use sheered out on a wet sponge or full on with a camouflage effect on areas “in need”, leaving the rest of the face fresher and with a lightweight base. The MAC’s Pro Longwear Concealer is probably one of the brand’s most famous products.
