Review : MAC Studio Finish Concealer

 
Today another review about this MAC Studio Finish concealer. This is my 2nd studio finish concealer which I just restock it last month. The previous studio finish concealer can last me for 1 year. That's very long right? :p I've been using this concealer for 1 year plus already. So far, this is my favorite concealer!
 
 
The Description : ( found from here )
A lightweight, creamy, discreetly opaque concealer. Provides a smooth, long-wearing invisible coverage for all skin blemishes. Water-resistant, fragrance-free and non-acnegenic. This emollient-based, lightweight concealer is so concentrated that a tiny amount can provide opaque coverage of the skin's imperfections and discolourations. It effectively covers dark circles, blemishes, moles, tattoos and birthmarks. Enriched with antioxidants (derivatives of Vitamin A and Vitamin E), it also contains silica to help absorb the skin's oils. Concealer has broad spectrum SPF 35 protection and is available in a wide range of colours. It can be applied with a medium to firm fiber brush (try the 242 Shader Brush), a latex sponge, or the fingertips.
 
Ingredients :

NC35 SPF 35
This time round, I choose 1 shade lighter than my skin tone
and it brighten up my under eye area. That's why I love it a lot!
 
The Swatches :
 
Before blend

After blending.

The consistency is very thick and creamy texture. It gives the medium to full coverage. How I apply this concealer? I prefer using my fingertip than concealer brush. Cause, it is so easy to blend to the area that I need to conceal. This concealer can also cover up any spots or redness and etc. It also very buildable. Only a little part which I don't like is, after a few hours, it does settle into my fine lines. But its okay, I can still apply it again :D I always use this concealer after applying my foundation.
 
What I love about this concealer :
  • Last long.
  • Water-resistance
  • Medium to full coverage
  • Brighten up my under eye area
  • Very small and cute. Perfect to keep in the makeup bag
What I don't quite like about this concealer :
  • After a few hours, it does settle into the fine line

If you are looking for medium to full coverage of concealer, why not give it a try for this studio finish concealer :) This concealer cost SGD$30. You can find this at any MAC counter.
 
 
Have you tried this concealer before? What's your opinion about it?
Come share it with me :)

  2. Is it drying?

    One of my main problems with concealer is that my already dry blemishes such as my acne gets even dryer...

      I don't quite recommend this concealer for dry skin. It'll be looking much cakey. But, if you want to give it a try, you can also try to apply moisturizer, primer, or the Benefit Porefessional before you applying the concealer :)

      Thank you for dropping by :)
      Yes. It is combination oily skin :) If you have dry skin, I suggest to apply primer/moisturizer first before you apply the concealer :) Update me if you already try it :D

  6. Hey doll! Have you tried MAC Pro Longwear concealer for under the eyes, you might find that it's a lot more hydrating for under there as the eyes are very sensitive! I use this concealer for blemishes and redness and then the pro longwear for under the eye and it's just as good but doesn't settle into fine lines.

    I love your blog, always a lovely read too!
    Lots of love
