I am IN LOVE with this product! I have always tried to stay away from concealers because they would make me look so cakey or dry me up and create patches. Let me tell you: this is amazing. You can barely tell I am wearing anything!
PRO:
-GREAT packaging. Its cute and small and I LOVE the pump. I am surprised people have problems with it disbursing too much because one pump gives the perfect amount.
-Perfect coverage and it can be build-able for even more. Flawless and undetectable.
-Don't have to carry it everywhere because it lasts ALL day!!!
-Will match skin tone perfectly.
-Doesn't smell weird to me!
-No breakouts
-Super cheap for how long the bottle lasts (depending on how much you use)
CON:
None as of now!
This is my HG concealer for the undereye area. The more liquidy consistency of it makes it easy to apply, and non-cakey, while giving good coverage for dark undereye circles. I'm NC25-30 and use this in NW20. However, although the product itself warrants a 5-lippies rating from me, I am not a fan of the packaging. Though I appreciate the pump dispenser for hygienic reasons, as other reviewers have commented, it dispenses too much product and you can't really control the amount. I also dislike the glass bottle that it comes in - my first bottle of this shattered when I accidentally dropped it on a bathroom floor made of ceramic tile. But I did repurchase after that.
I bought this concealer because I needed something to cover up my acne scars. it covers it very well, but the mu artist gave me a shade lighter than my skin tone. I use it on my under eye and it does a great job of covering my dark circles. I love that bright under eye affect. I have the NW45. I plan on going back to Mac to get the NW 47 so I can use it on my face to cover blemishes. I love that it comes with a pump but it does dispense more than you need. I dot the concealer in a triangle shape under my eye then I blend out with my finger or a cosmetic sponge. I set it with a loose powder using a small blending brush. If you're looking for a great concealer for dark under eye circles or blemishes this one is for you!
This is my holy grail concealer! This product made me fall in love with MAC immediately and I certainly recommend it :)
I am a NW30. I use this concealer for my undereye area and acne scars/one or two blemishes. It covers well and it really doesn't come off easily which at the end of the day is a good thing. Its the perfect balance between blendable and opaque and well I just feel flawless with it on :) Definitely recommend it!
I purchased this product in nc20 and nc35. I used the nc35 to hide blemishes if I've had a break out and it covers everything nicely. When I want the bright kim k undereye, I use the nc20 on its own or I'll mix it with the nc35 . I love this concealer. Its definitely my hg! You cant beat a product like this for $18. Drugstore concealers aren't too far behind in price so its so worth it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 lippies is because the pump is hard to control. It dispenses too much product....

First of all, let me just say that I have fair skin with soft yellow undertones, and these concealers are WAY too peachy/orange hued. NC20 looked fine in the bottle, but ocne applied on my skin it looked way to orange against my soft yellow undertones! I was so disappointed with the colour selection. The concealer itself was beautiful though. Covered my pimples and stayed on all day long. It was incredible! I just need to find a way to blend it into my skin, although I think it will be an awesome concealer for the summertime when I'm a bit more tanned, so I'm excited about that! Anywho, I most likely won't repurchase this for the winter/spring months if i ever want to repurchase it in that time period. Although it seems like it will last me a long time because a little goes a superrrr long way. I will update this in the summer of 2013 to tell you all how it holds up on my skin/matches my skin. But at this point in time, i will not repurchase.
Best concealer I've ever tried on my super dark undereyes. It's just really impossible to remove even with waterproof make up remover. I haven't had any problems with the package dispensing too much product. As I always apply the concealer on first with a tiny dot on both eyes, and the rest of the concealer that I have on my palm I always mix with moisturizer to construct my own BB cream. Every penny saved is a penny earned <3 Will always repurchase as long as I'm alive. continued >>
Overall, this is a very good concealer that I would most definitely purchase again. It has its flaws, but it's still better than most concealers on the market.
PROS
-Excellent coverage. I didn't expect to get full, opaque coverage from a liquid concealer, but this offers it. One layer covers my dark under eye circles and bad hyperpigmentation.
- It's long wearing. It doesn't last as long as my beloved MUFE Full Cover, but this will get through the day with no issues.
-You get a ton of product in the little vial, so it lasts for a long time. This is also a very pigmented concealer which means that you use very little during application.
-Hasn't broken me out...Yet at least. I haven't been using this for very long. Will update if I break out from this.
CONS
-The little pump bottle is so impractical. If it was in a squeeze tube you'd be able to control how much product you get, but you're pretty much forced to squirt out WAY more than you need with the pump. I use A LOT of concealer and even I only need 1/2 pump per application. This results in a lot of wasted product.
-It oxidizes. I also have very oily skin, so most products do oxidize on me. I left the house with this concealer blending perfectly into my skin, but when I looked in the mirror later at school, I had dark spots all over my skin.
This is another one of those concealers that dries to a matte finish, so it may look a little dry under the eyes. I suggest mixing it with a little liquid luminizer for a radiant look.
This concealer is my HG!!
I used to use it as a foundation because it was the only thing that covered my acne. It was really good as a foundation for me. It's really buildable and I don't think it makes you look cakey at all.
I have been using this product for some time under my eyes and find it very effective. As a "mature" woman, I have lines under my eyes and have started to use my urban decay primer potion as a base there before I use my pro longwear concealer. Seems to keep the concealer from settling into my lines and totally brightens my under eye area while hiding any dark circles. Happy with this one.
