I bought this concealer last week and while it's great - it pumps out just too much product. I think I'm going to have to go get a little container to put the remaining product in, to use it for the next day.
It's a great concealer for under eyes, OR on the face. Gives med-full coverage, and it's a nice and runny product, so it's not too thick as to cake up on you.
This concealer is amazing! I always have a problem with my concealers not blending out properly. Wether my blemishes still show through, it makes my skin look dry, or just too cakey. With just a small amount this concealer blended out and covered everything without a problem!
I bought this solely for a dance performance during an exam period in which I broke out. I knew I would be sweating so I needed something that would stay put. and this definitely worked. I wouldn't use this on a daily basis just because it is too heavy for my liking but if you need/like that then you should purchase this! When I didn't want as much coverage I mixed a moisturizer in with it and that worked great as wll
As others have mentioned, this concealer tends to get a lot of love AND a lot of hate (and I can see why!):
For reference I am in the color NW35 but I wear concealer around my eyes and to highlight in NW30
Advantages: covers every little thing. From little acne to scars I have had since I was 10 years old.
I had surgery when I was ten to close up a bilateral cleft cyst in my neck. I had these two very prominent scars with hyperpigmentation until now (I am 22). This covers it so flawlessly with a smooth creamy consistency. Brush some translucent setting powder on top with a fluffy brush and you're set to go! In other words, this concealer is great for smooth skin surfaces or even acne on your face
Disadvantages:
Under eye circles with some age crinkling? This is not for you; Prolongwear concealer will settle into every fine line, nook and cranny. MAC's moisturecover concealer is more hydrating and thinner in consistency (but still can be built up) and is made specifically for under the eye area.
In a nutshell, great if you have smooth or young acneic skin. Mature women? Pass and get moisturecover.
i really love this product... i am a woman of color and i have dark blotches on may face that i have tried to get rid of for years.... ive been to dermatologist, ive used prescribed products, and ive used different foundations and concealers to try to have one skin tone on my face... nothing has worked... i went to the mac store and finally someone showed me a miracle... a lady took me to a chair, set me down, and began her magic.... she combined nc 45 and nc 50 and for the first time in years, my face looked flawless... i saw no blotches and it was refresing to see what my face looked like before the blotches... i love this product...
i have mixed feelings about this concealer.
My biggest problem with it is that one pump is enough to cover my entire face with this concealer which is definatly not my goal. So i find it to be extremely wasteful especially for the price... But anyway because so much does come out i end up using it everywhere rather than wasteing so much and my issues with this is that it is a pain in the butt to blend it well enough so that it doesn't look cakey.
This being said it does cover... EVERYTHING. All of my pimples, red spots and my under eye circles were next to invisible once i built it up. So thats awesome on the days my acne flares up. Also with a good setting powder it feels super light weight and smooth on my face.
So i would recommend this product if you do have alot of acne or other things you want to cover. But if your skin is pretty clear i think there are better and easier products out there.
I never knew I had under eye lines until I put this concealer on. It is so horrendous, it went into every nook and cranny (which as I said, I didn't know I had!) and just settled there. Instead of smoothing over wrinkles and making them less noticeable, it actually settled in between wrinkles and wrinkled them more, magnifying and amplifying. I actually got sad seeing myself after applying this, I didn't realize I could look that old!! Thank God once I washed that crap off my face looked normal and young again - no more under eye wrinkles, thank you very much!
I would never recommend this to anyone. I can't believe in this day and age this in the market. Why would anyone spend money to look bad? Oh the horror...
I love love this concealer, I have problems with dark circles and I like to go out with the girls some nights after work and this stays put all day with no touch ups. You may have to mix 2 colors to get your shade depending on your skintone but well worth it!!!!
This concealer i purchased because i needed something that would last long & not fade throughout the day,cover up my circles,and match me well. First off i dont like the packaging except the glass container. Because the pump just pumps out WAY too much product and it goes to waste. You can kind of control it, it takes a bit of practice which gets annoying sometimes. What i did was take a little container and just put the excess i pumped out into it and use it up the next day. Good thing is that it does last all day,but its just a tiny bit faded throughout the day, it covers up my under eye circles pretty well, the most layers that i needed is 2,but i usually use one.
You dont even need that much product because of how much it covers! If you have deep dark severe under eye circles i wont really recommend it. Overall this was a good product and i would repurchase because of how well it lasts on me. Though if i do find something cheaper and works just as well ill probably opt for that. Hope this helps! :)
