Very full coverage
As the name suggests, this product is very full coverage - think Estee Lauder DW. I find this product doesn't dry me out as much or look cakey for being super full coverage. I would be careful for anyone with acne prone skin however.
Great for oily skin, Dry skin not so much
I like to use this product in the summer time when I tend to get oily. If you are dry skinned I would make sure to moisturize a lot prior to application.
This is my go to high-end foundation. I've tried others that are way more expensive and still keep coming back to this sweetheart. It's long wearing, not cakey, goes on easy and more importantly covers those spots!. I always try to keep a bottle on hand.
Another plus is unlike other Mac liquid foundations it actually comes with the pump lol.
I had used this foundation for years and really liked it. Great coverage without looking cakey, and still gives you a natural look. I have since found a foundation that I like better but this was my go to one for years. This is one that regard less, I always keep in my collection because its one that you can count on for good results.
This is a great foundation is you are getting your picture taken. It covers well but still looks relatively natural and doesn't have little to any flash back. It didn't break me out which is a plus for any long wearing foundation and covered up most of my acne without any concealer.
I'v been on the hunt for a long wearing foundation since the beginning of time and this is probably the only one that works for me that I'v found so far. I have very oily skin and I'v tried so many longwearing ones that just don't last by the end of the day. Loved the EL until they re-formulated it..
Mac's Pro longwear foundation really does last all day and more! however...I don't recommend you sleep in your foundation but if you're up late nights for me anyway this did an amazing job.
The only thing I don't like is the color selection..very orange-y..but it's one thing I must sacrifice if I want the longevity of this foundation that no other provides for me.
Also, the coverage is very light..which I also don't like but I will learn to live with/or just add a concealer as extra layers will not build up your coverage.
Overall I do give this a thumbs up! because the lasting power is amazing! more than 24 hrs I would say, lasts in heat too! I'v never had a foundation work like this on me before! I'm a happy-oily girl as long as I have this foundation on :)
I used this foundation before discovering the wonders of Mac's liquid foundation. This foundation works well and its easy to apply. Its great for traveling as it won't spill on your bag and is light to carry around. It worked very well for me until I discovered Mac's liquid foundation. If you are looking for a quick fix in the morning then this is your product.
I went into the MAC store intending to buy a compact foundation to add to my collection, instead I walked out with this. Turns out a compact, as much as I would like one for ease of travel, is not compatible with my skin or my skin concerns - oily t-zone/combination skin, acne scar cover, long-wearing. The MAC Pro Longwear foundation takes care of all three concerns.
My skin can be warm and cool, but a quick foundation colour check with the MA and I decided I'm NW25 in this product.
As with most MAC foundations, I find they can be a little "orange", however this didn't seem to change on me when it settled on my skin. I use a duo-fibre brush to apply it for an airbrushed look.
I start work very early (430am) and usually by 10am my makeup is all but gone, despite using primer and powder to set it. The Pro Longwear does what it says on the tin and really does last.
My only complaint is this dries to a matte finish, and I like that dewy look. So, I have two foundations I switch between; this one and Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation in 5.5.
I think MAC have finally figured out their foundation formula and are onto a winner here.
