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 :)

Review : MAC Select Moisturecover concealer

 
Hello everyone :) Finally I'm back with a new review for this MAC Select Moisturecover concealer. Is it good? Or is it bad? Just continue reading to find out :) *wink*
 
Last few weeks back, went to MAC at Isetan to buy my concealer. I'm always having fickle minded whenever I'm at MAC. LOL. As usual, I asked the MAC makeup artist which is the good for under eye area besides studio finish concealer & prolongwear concealer. And the MAC makeup artist show to me this select moisture cover concealer which MAC claim that this is a good concealer for fine line & dark eye circle. It gives you satin finish and can last for a very long hour. So, I give it a try on my hand and guess what, I start to like it :D Without any delay, I agree to buy this.

Comes with the doe-foot applicator.
Look like nude lip gloss isn't it :D
 
MAC Select Moisturecover in NW30.
 
Description : ( found from here )
A luxuriously blendable moisturizing concealer in a tube with built-in doe-foot applicator. Goes on exactly where you want it: blends in for a natural satin-smooth ultra-moisturized finish. Layers up for added coverage. Line-softening, skin-perfecting: The Pros' “select” for under-eyes and delicate skin. Wide shade range provides soft, natural camouflage.

The swatches
 
Not too creamy. Kinda thick texture to me.
 
This is what it looks like after you dabbed/blend it slowly.

To be honest, I really love the smooth feeling texture when I slowly dab or blend under my eye area. I swear I can't really see or feel like I'm wearing concealer. I've also try to apply 3 layers but still looking good. Gives you natural looking :) And also, I have the love and hate for this concealer :P
__ 
 
What I love about this :
  • Very easy to blend.
  • Matte finish
  • Look so natural even if you apply 2 or 3 layers.
  • Plastic tube! Don't have to worry if it accidently drop on the floor.
  • Brighten up my under eye area.
What I don't quite like about this :
  • Doesn't give you the good coverage that you wish for if you have really dark under eye area.
  • After a few hours or more, I notice that I can see it does settle into my fine line. But it didn't appear that obvious ( Its happen to me. But doesn't mean its going to happen to you too. )

If you're finding a concealer that gives you the natural looking with matte finish, why not you give it a try on this concealer. This concealer cost $30. You can find this at any MAC counter :)
