Mac Pro Longwear Foundation and Concealer Review

So Mac is one of those companies that I know a lot of people lust after yet can sometimes be a grey area as far as insured quality goes and because the products are definitely pricer than most are comfortable with I know it's important to get an idea of what the product are really like before you invest. So to help you out if you are interested in these products, I'll give you my honest opinion!


Firstly the Mac Pro Longwear Foundation. With this you get the standard 30ml of product with a pretty good low SPF of 10 (handy for photos, you don't get flashback). I have a love hate relationship with this. On the one hand it is amazing; it give medium to build-able full coverage, a demi-matte finish and doesn't look cakey, basically everything I want from a foundation. On the other hand...it breaks me out..bad. BUT that being said I feel it necessary to explain that my face just seems to be overly emotional when it comes to liquid makeup...it's not unusual for hissy fits to occur. If your skin is overly sensitive like mine is this will probably have the same result however if you don't I seriously don't think you'll have a problem, please comment if I'm wrong! Despite my own personal incompatibility with this product for everyday use I would still recommend it. I use it very often for special events and occasions because using it infrequently doesn't affect my skin negatively at all. It photographs brilliantly and looks flawless, love it. 


Now the Pro Longwear Concealer. This will be short and sweet. It's amazing, you have to buy it. I mean, full coverage yet natural looking and it doesn't break me out at all...I just have no clue how they do it! I sometimes wear this on its own as a foundation because it is so good. I cannot recommend this product enough. Only one con though the amount of product you get. Maybe this is my own fault for putting perhaps too much make-up on but when I use this I put three pumps worth onto my face...and before I know it the damn thing is finished. I go through a whole one of these in a matter of a few months...which I know probably isn't that bad but I always feel like it is annoying how often I have to fork out 15 quid for it. Nevertheless I do it anyway...vicious cycle I've got myself in here! That aside this concealer is the best I have ever used, period. That wasn't as short and sweet as I hoped...oh well.

    1. Glad I could help! Getting the right concealer and foundation is always such a hassle with so much to chose from out there! Definitely with sensitive skin I think it's a good decision to give the foundation a miss. Hope the concealer does for you what it does for me :)
