MAC Pro Longwear Concealer Review

Ever get bored of repurchasing the same product over and over again?
I do. I've been using the same concealer (Urban Decay Concealer Stick in CIA) forever, and have repurchased it probably 3 times now. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this concealer, and I love it, but every now and then, I just NEED to try something new!

I don't own a lot of MAC products, so when my concealer started running low, I decided I'd pick one up, and see how I like it. I chose the MAC Pro Longerwear Concealer in NC15.

$19 USD for .30 fl oz
MAC describes this product on the website as:

"A lightweight fluid concealer that provides medium to full coverage with a comfortable, natural matte finish. Colour-true formula lasts up to 15 hours. Helps conceal and correct the look of under-eye circles, and discolorations. Comes in a clear glass vial with a matte black pump."

Now, I don't have a MAC store within hours of me, so I can't go to the store to test things out, and rely on the online descriptions. Luckily I'm pale as a ghost, so I know that usually the lightest shade a company makes will be my shade, unless it's too dark.

I pretty much only use concealer under my eyes, and occasionally around my face if I'm having a bit of discoloration, but mostly, it just goes under my eyes. Because of this, I was a little worried about that matte finish making my under eye area looking dry and flaky. However, it doesn't accentuate my dry skin at all. I'm not used to concealer in a liquid form, so application took some getting used to. I usually dab this product on with my fingers where needed, and then blend out the edges with a fluffy brush, I've been liking the Real Techniques Setting Brush. 

The color is a pretty good match for me. Slightly yellow, BUT the really helps color-correct my purple-ish dark circles under my eyes. Also, I apply foundation BEFORE my concealer, and go back in with concealer to cover and areas that need a little extra help. It doesn't make sense to me to apply concealer before foundation, because you'll end up applying far too much, but I suppose that's all a method of personal preference. I can't speak on the 15 hour wear time claim, I usually don't wear face makeup that long for any reason!


Overall I've really been enjoying this concealer from MAC!
If you have issues with concealer creasing under the eyes, this one might be a little less likely to move around and settle into lines.
Have you tried this concealer before? Do you have a 'holy grail' concealer, or do you love trying new products too much to stick to one?

Easiest Winged Liner Tutorial!

Hey everybody! I have some exciting updates to share!
First off, I FINALLY got a decent video camera, and I'm now going to be making videos much more 
regularly!
Second, EYELINER TUTORIAL!!


The number one question I get asked is; how do I do my eyeliner, and what eyeliner do I use?
I can tell you right now, that my liner is not ALWAYS perfect (duh, no ones is), and it's super easy to get precise, on point eyeliner!

Personally, my favorite is the Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion. It has a super small brush tip, glides on nicely, dries semi-shiny (think almost a latex-like finish!), and is waterproof! It can be sort of difficult to use if you're just starting out though. If you're new to liquid liner, I recommend trying something that's a pen-style liner. Such as Physician's Formula 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Liquid Liner Pen.

My number ONE tip for liner, is don't be afraid to try it! And don't worry about trying to get it absolutely perfect in one line, on your first application. It's NOT going to happen. In fact, I typically make a giant mess on my face every day when I do my makeup xD Check out my video here:



In the video, I'm wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Walk Of Shame, and MAC Blue Brown pigment in the crease. I wanted to do something simple, so you could really see the liner better!
As you can tell, I'm far, far from perfect. But practice helps, and so do those pointed q-tips! xD You'll do much better practicing if you don't fret about it looking absolutely perfect from the get-go, it's the end result that matters!

I hope this was helpful! Now that I'm more capable of making videos, please comment, subscribe, and let me know what you all want to see from me!

Also I'm hosting a blog sale over on Storenvy! I have so much new, swatched, or barely used makeup that I neglect! So I've listed a lot of it (still more to come) over there for sale! Please check it out, there's some palettes, limited edition items, and body care!

http://biohazardousbeauty.storenvy.com/

( P.S., I will not be selling anything that was sent to me for review by companies, or samples. It's not fair to sell and make money off things I received out of the kindness of another company! Be sure to follow me so you can keep up with new items listed for sale!)

Product Review: MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Lightscapade

Hello everyone! 

 Today I just wanted to give you a quick review of MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish in Lightscapade! Normally discontinued, this shade has been temporarily brought back in the online, Hayley Williams collection. (The collection also includes a lipstick, an eyeshadow, and a nail lacquer) I'm not a huge fan of her, or her band, or whatever, not to mention MAC comes out with new collections and celebrity collections almost constantly, but Lightscapade is something I've been wanting to get my hands on for a long time now!


$30 for 10g at MAC


This color is GORGEOUS. Not to mention, it's the perfect highlight shade for my skintone, which is extremely, extremely fair! 
While it's perfect for me, I also think that this works wonderfully on every skin color I've ever seen it used on. It gives you such a gorgeous glow, without being GLITTERY or going on chunky looking. Which is what most people do not want in a highlighter. This is, and probably will be, the only MAC MSF that I'll ever want to own.


What I'm Wearing:

Eyes:
  • Concrete Minerals Electric Eye Primer
  • Concrete Minerals Eyeshadow in Souljourner
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Liner in Perversion
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Perversion
  • IT Cosmetics Hello Lashes Mascara
Lips:
  • Urcan Decay Super Saturated Lip Pencil in Lovechild
Face:
  • Tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12-Hour Perfecting Primer
  • Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation in 0.5
  • Urban Decay Concealer Pencil in CIA
  • Sephora Mattifying Powder Foundation in Fair
  • Hard Candy Fox in a Box Blush in Smooth Talker
  • Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush
  • MAC MSF in Lightscapade


So happy MAC brought this back for a limited time! If you're looking for Lightscapade, head over and buy it while you still can! I'm sure it's going to sell out! 

What's your favorite MAC Mineralized Skinfinish?
