Mac Pro Longwear Concealer

I may be a little late on this bandwagon, but could I please bring your attention to one of the best products ever made in the history of make-up products. Now, I know that everyone and their dog has been raving about the Mac Pro Longwear Concealer for a couple of months now, but just hear me out on this!

My Experience

I have tried so many hyped products and have been disappointed a fair few times so I refused to make an expensive mistake with this. However, on a recent trip to Manchester I nipped into Harvey Nichols and was pleasantly surprised at the lack of chaotic groups of women surrounding the Mac counter. I had no make-up on (arrgghh!) because I had been running late to catch the train into Manchester to meet up with my friends, so I told the Mac MUA that she had creative freedom to do whatever she wanted to do to my face (come on - we've all done it).

She was a lovely girl; her make-up was flawless just like all the Mac girls and she had such a charming personality. I was very impressed with my overall look (even though she was a bit heavy handed on the eyebrows) but the one thing that stood out more than anything else were the non-existent under eye circles. The MUA showed me the concealer and the amount she had used on my circles - I nearly fell off the chair (lol I kid, I'm  not that obsessed). I bought it immediately and spent dinner with my friends looking like a complete twat because I couldn't stop harping on about this concealer.

Product Information

The concealer is marketed as a lightweight fluid concealer that had medium to full coverage and can last up to 15 hours. It helps conceal under eye circles and other skin discolouration. You get 9ml for £15.50 - which I think is a bargain! It comes in a small glass vial with a pump. Follow this link if you want the full list of ingredients.

Pro's

The concealer covers up under eye circles and covers any discolouration. 

The concealer doesn't leave a grey tone after application like most concealers do on darker skin tones.

It is lightweight and blends in beautifully.

It comes in a pump so it very hygienic to use.

It doesn't crease throughout the day.

Mac cater for the majority of skin tones with 16 different shades.

It dries to a matte finish so you aren't highlighting those under eye bags!

Con's

You get too much product from the pump (I normally pump it out in a tiny sample pot and use the amount over the course of 2/3 days).

It doesn't last for 15 hours but I guess around 10 hours is still good...?

So as you can see the pro's definitely outweigh the con's.
