Today's post is going to be a review on the 'MAC Studio finish concealer'. I recently purchased this from Debenhams and I felt it was worthy of a little review so here goes...
After days of considering I finally went into MAC to buy the concealer.
I asked a shop assistant to match me up so I knew I couldn't go wrong. She sat me down and tested a few colours on me. It turns out that I am NW15. I expected this because I'm just so pale.
My auntie also got colour matched and purchased the concealer. When I got home I tried and tested and I have come to the verdict that ... I LOVE IT!!
My auntie however got home, tried and tested, and found it was too dark :o Obviously she could not return a used products and so that was annoying for her however I feel the opposite.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Cream-Powder formula (I feel)
- Opaque
- Works well on normal-oily skin (me)
- Lasts forever
- You don't need much on your brush/finger
Cons:
- Rather expensive (£14.50) however the staying power and long lasting products makes up for the price
Thats all the cons I have to be honest. Here are some pictures for you to see...
Product (closed) permanent collection black packaging
Product (Open) With swatch (Sooo pigmented)
Swatch on the skin
Under eyes before applied
Under eyes after applied - I apply with the real techniques 'shading brush' but it can be applied with the finger however you do pick up more product that you need that way.
Okay, so that illustrates the products usage on me. Admittedly, my under eyes before the product is applied doesn't seem that bad, but in person the darkness was worse.
As you can see it leaves the skin looking fresher and enhances the makeup on your eyes as your no longer distracted by darkness or lines etc...
Overall:
- rating - 10/10
- like love hate - love
- repurchase or leave - repurchase
I hope this has helped anyone questioning whether to buy it or not.
Stay tuned for more posts each week :)
