Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, and this is going to be a DOUBLE REVIEW: both my sista Julia (normal/dry skin) and I (oily/combination skin) use it so you can see from two prospective how this product works.
Let me tell you, she recently become obsessed with make up and I take full credit for it, but when we were younger I remember she only wore a few things and concealer was one of them, so I really trust her recommendations.
I don’t have really heavy dark circles but I have fine lines, so I mainly need a long lasting product (it’s called Longwear), so I combined Julia’s suggestions plus the fact that MAC was on sale for 20% off that day and you know, I basically HAD TO BUY IT!
You can get it on maccosmetics.com or in store for 23$
PACKAGING
It comes in a cardboard box. The actual bottle is made of glass and it has a pump. It contains 9ml of product that will easily last you forever: Julia used it almost every day for two years and just now she had to buy a new bottle.
We not the biggest fan of the glass bottle: it looks nice and fancy but I’m personally incredibly clumsy so I’m always scared to break it.
I appreciate the pump as it’s really sanitary but it gets quite dirty and disperses too much product, you won’t need a full pump to cover your undereye area, I always use half of what I disperse, therefore I would prefer a doe foot applicator that will make me waste less product.
FORMULA
I use the shade NC20 which is a perfect match for me.
This concealer other than the amazing lasting power it has medium to full coverage, Julia has really dark undereye and it covers them perfectly without looking heavy or cakey. It blends seamlessly with your skin.
As you can see the concealer is nice a liquidy when you first apply it. It’s really easy to blend, I use a brush but your fingertip will work too, and once it sets it becomes a really nice satin finish that will last all day long.
I usually use a powder on top, Julia doesn’t: so whether to set it or not depends on your preference, I’ve also tried without powder and the lasting power didn’t change.
She also uses it as an eye primer and it makes her eyeshadow last longer. I have extremely oily eyelids so it’s enough for me.
I don’t like it on pimples because it tends to show up and doesn’t last as long
LASTING POWER
Even at the end of the day, your concealer will still be in place and you’ll have to take it off with makeup remover.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 10/10
- Application: 9/10
- Formula: 10/10
- Pigmentation: 9/10
- Packaging: 7/10
GRADE: A
We are absolutely obsessed with this concealer, it covers dark circles amazingly, it’s easy to apply and to blend, it lasts a long time and in the long run, it’s worth the investment because you use such a small amount it will last you forever. It never looks dry or cakey even at the end of the day. The packaging is not the most travel-friendly but it’s nice and fancy so it’s not a big problem. Just need to be careful.

As it happens, I’m running out of concealer now and was looking to try something new. This product looks great. But I’d agree with you in that I’d prefer it came in something less fragile. I can be clumsy.
Mimi dice
I have to be extra careful: I had a Nars foundation that fell on me and I broke the bottle ? so now I’m extra cautious #clumsyteam

I’m going to have to try this. I have an issue with one part of my face being lighter than the other, so finding a good concealer is always tough.
Mimi dice
That’s tough! This comes in 16 different shades so you might find a match, plus people at Mac are usually super kind and will definitely help you ??
Kate dice
Wow! High ratings on this one huh? My SIL has used this for a while and she swears by it. Glad to see it stands up to multiple skin types!
Mimi dice
I keep recommending it to so many people, one of my closest friend just picked it up
Amy dice
I struggle so much with finding good concealer. I have rosacea that flares right at the top of my cheek by the eye area and most concealers make it worse. I like that it can be used as an eye primer, as well, so I’m intrigued. I may just have to take a chance and try this one out!
BTW, your eye color is beautiful!
Mimi dice
I have rosacea too! This works on mine ? thank you ?
stashy dice
I agree – the pump dispenses WAY too much product! So much waste every time.
I did really like how long lasting this product was but I found it didn’t look natural under my eyes.
It looks really good on you! Great review. 🙂
Mimi dice
Thank you! Maybe you got the wrong shade or maybe is too dry on you! I’m always scared of that pump ? thank you ?
Lydia dice
Wow – I think that I need to try this for sure. I need to hide those dark circles, haha

I have heard so many people rave about this concealer and with MAC being one of my favourite brands I’m so surprised I have never tried it. Your review has made me want to buy it even more X
Mimi dice
It’s such a good product, you really need it ??
Brit Strawbridge dice
It’s so hard to find a good concealer! I would be more like your sister, so this is great to know!
Mimi dice
Yay! It works for almost everyone ???
Mila dice
I really like that this concealer comes with a pump – not a tube or doefoot! I love Mac stuff, so I’m really excited to try this based on your review!
Mimi dice
Thank you! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts ??
Antonia dice
I recently got the pro long wear foundation and I love it! Now I’m convinced I need to try this as well 🙂 The foundation didn’t come with a pump so I had to get it separate, but I’m glad the concealer does have it included!
Mimi dice
I really want to check the foundation out, such a bummer that it doesn’t come with a pump. Thank you reading ?

I LOVE MAC Prolongwear concealer, my makeup artist used this to cover my dark circles for my wedding (and I have severe dark circles). I don’t know what else type of wizardry she did, but yeah. I wish she told me what shade she used on me. I have the Tarte Shape Tape concealer which I use everyday.

Yay! People at mac will probably help you to find your perfect shade, they did with me! I wish I could try shape tape but tarte is so hard to get here!!
Julie I Aloha Lovely dice
Looks like a great option! I use more of a cream currently but might look into this when I am done with that 🙂 Thanks!
Mimi dice
Yay! Let me know if you get it ??
