Let's Talk...Mac Concealer's.

M.A.C. Concealer's. I only have three out of the five available. Which are Studio Finish Concealer SPF 30, Pro Longwear Concealer, and Select Cover Up. I am in the shade NC 30 Which ones are hits and misses in my book?? Let's dig in to find out.

Original Packaging for Studio Finish, Pro Longwear, Select Cover-Up

Looking fab from the outside. Eh?

1) First Stop, Select Cover Up: This was my FIRST EVER M.A.C. product. And boy was I excited (wasn't so excited about the price at first). This product is 10 ML. Don't be fooled my the size though. It holds a lot in that little container. It is supposed to be a liquid camouflage for the skin e.g. cover up dark spots, even out skin tone, make your face look flawless. Do I agree? Yes and No. Yes to the even out skin tone. If you are the type to have red spots on your face, this will cover it perfectly. I get a little red here and there as soon as I come out the shower. Dab some on there, and I'm good to go.. except one thing I have dark spots. *cue the scary music* Most of my dark scarring is on my cheek, but those are fresh scars. Putting that on made me look like I have on a very sheer concealer. I tried using brushes, fingers, it just did not work :(. Many light scars that I have, the concealer did cover it. However, I did finish all of this product so that was good. Another thing, this tends to get a little greasy so make sure you set with a translucent powder.
All in All: Would I purchase this again? Yes. Simply because this did cover my red spots and light
scarring. Hopefully my cheek scarring will go away so I can enjoy it more :) The only problem that I have is I need a better way to apply it. What do you do?

2) Second Stop, Studio Finish Concealer: This is my most recent purchase. I actually did a little research on this one before I brought it. Let me tell you. I got sold right away. I purchased it online (the lady gave me free shipping & she was really nice) and she explained to me how its non-acnegenic(does not break you out), waterproof(which is true!), fragrance free, lightweight, and most importantly cover up ALL scarring. This is where I stop this happy train. First off, as soon as I put it on my cheeks it felt very greasy and it did not cover as much as I expected. I really wish I had pictures. But when I finally cover to look a little decent, I feel the need to add translucent powder and my finish powder. As soon as I do that BOOM  most of it slides off (-___-) 

All In All: Would I purchase this again? NO. Even though this does not break me out it was disappointing that it could not cover my deep dark spots. I would return it, but I feel that I used to much. So I have to find another use to it. For now though, it ill be put away in the back far far away.

3) Third Stop: Pro Longwear Concealer: This is the ultimate love/hate relationship  product for me. I love the coverage, the consistency is okay, and it does cover my scars the best out of all three. With about two pumps, most of cheek scars are gone which is awesome. I tried it when I went to Grenada this August and my skin looked flawless and I used most of the product so that was a thumbs up. What I don't like is the smell. It favors a perfumed chemical which is disgusting but you get used to it. I also don't like the pump. It is very inconsistent. So sometimes it will give too much, too little, or the rare perfect amount. 

All In All: Would I buy this product again? Yes. Because it gives me the coverage I need with about 1/12-2 pumps. All M.A.C needs to do is  change the smell and fix the pump and it will be the ultimate HG.

M.A.C. Ohhh M.A.C. You and I have such a love/hate relationship. Let's see if it will turn all love when I try your eyeshadows and lipsticks haha.

It's so funny because in my past Youtube video I HATED the Pro Longwear and lived for the Studio Finish. But look how the tables have turned..

What are you guys opinion on these concealers? Hit's or misses? Do share below I would love to know.
