In Detail MAC Pro Longwear Concealer Review, Swatches and My Experience

MAC prolongwear concealer comes in a little cylindrical pump dispenser packaging which is almost equal to the size of a standard MAC lipstick. In fact if I put it in its black carton box, its almost difficult to tell this from a boxed lipstick.

Whenever I don’t sleep enough, my eyes start punishing me with some under eye dullness which I normally don’t usually have. So I was looking for a good concealer which would give me a brightening effect and at the same time conceal the dull areas. Well now I am super happy to have found this one. I was matched to the shade NC 30.

The concealer is creamy in consistency, not too thick or thin. The texture is easy to work with and applies smoothly on the skin. It does set pretty quickly though so I have to make sure to blend it well before it sets. Thus always keep in mind that this should be the first product you want to blend.

What I love the most about this concealer is the way it controls oils on my skin. It keeps my skin looking matte for long durations inspite of my super oily-combi skin. This concealer literally lasts on me for a good 12 hours without creasing, caking or melting. However it is a very matte product so if you have dry skin and have dry patches around the eye, this might actually accentuate them instead of hiding. Coverage wise I have to say I get a medium coverage out of it with a single decent layer. But the coverage sure is buildable.

The only problem I have with the concealer is its pump. Although the pump might look so tiny, it dispenses a lot of product in a single push. It results in product wastage. After 3-4 times, I really had to be super careful while applying pressure on the top because I wanted it to give out just the right amount of product. But you know what, lets be practical. Its not always possible to remember this and so what I do is, I usually have this sample jar on my vanity; and I keep the extra dispensed product in it. Later on, I mix that with my moisturiser and it works great as a brightening tinted moisturiser.

Overall I have to give this concealer a big thumbs up for its amazing quality and performance. Love the way it evens out everything. Lasts all day without creasing or melting even on oily skin like mine. Its sure a must have if you are someone who likes long wearing brightening concealer with medium to full buildable coverage. Make sure you get the exact shade which you want, so always a good idea to grab a sample and try it on at home before purchasing it.

CONs of MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

3. Dry skin beauties would need to use some moisturiser before applying it or it can be too drying for them.

MBF Advises

1. If you have a bit of extra concealer left, mix it with your regular moisturiser and it works great as a tinted face moisturiser.
2. Always test out the sample under different light conditions before buying it.
3. Because this concealer sets so quickly, you might try doing one eye makeup at a time.

In Detail NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundation Review, Swatches and My Experience

Nyx Stay Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundation comes in a black color shiny cardboard box with every necessary information printed on it. The actual compact comes packed in a black color compact case which bares nyx logo and product range name.

The compact case has 2 compartments one has compact powder and the other has its sponge applicator. There is an area with a small window at the bottom, where sponge rests for ventilation. This is because the compact powder can be used wet as well as dry. So this ventilation window will make sure the sponge can dry properly.

The lid of the powder foundation closes really tightly which ensures the product is definitely travel friendly. Overall the packaging is very sturdy but is very average looking nothing interesting.

This powder foundation comes in total of 9 shades to match all skin tones. I use the shade warm beige which is 2 shades lighter than my complexion. I purposely chose the shade which is lighter for my complexion. This is because I wanted a light powder to balance my skin out after using darker color foundations. As I have accidentally ordered few foundations which is darker for my skin, so this shade works perfectly fine for me that way.

This powder has a very mild floral smell to it which is not bothersome at all.

The texture of this foundation is the thing which I like most about it. It is soo smooth you guys and is soo silky and finely milled. It glides on my face so smoothly and seamlessly.

I have not applied this powder foundation with wet sponge or with dry sponge as I don’t like to apply my powders with that. This is because I feel that with sponges, powders give me patchy look.

I apply this with my real techniques buffing brush and in that way it works pretty good. I would recommend you to take a small amount of the product and work with it, if you take a lot in one go, it will definitely cake your face up. Hence, be careful while applying.

This nyx foundation is does not give my skin extremely matte finish. It is little moisturising but very comfortable to wear. That means dry skinned beauties can also use this without any hesitation.

The coverage it gives is a little more than any compact powder and my Lakme 9 to 5 powder foundation.

I will not say that this is medium coverage but it does not give sheer coverage either, its coverage falls somewhere in between. I build up its coverage by layering it up slowly and steadily. This way even on building up, it does not give me patchy look when I blend it properly.

This stays on my oily skin for a long period of time. Whenever I set my foundation or bb cream with it, my makeup lasts longer and I don’t feel any need to touch up even after 4 to 5 hours of application.

But after that my T- zone becomes a little shiny. Finally, it comes off really quickly you don’t need any makeup remover to remove it.
