Review: MAC Studio Finish Concealer


Image from maccosmetics.com

I got this concealer in NC25 at my local CCO for about $11. I honestly wasn't expecting much from it because I already owned a concealer from NARS which I wasn't impressed with at all. Plus NARS is supposed to be better quality(esp for the hefty price tag) Anywhoo, I started to use this when school started because ya gotta look good! ;) and ooooh boy, i was shockedd. It totally makes the NARs concealer look like crap compared to it. The only con about this particular concealer is that it's not my color... i know i know, my fault. Next time I'll bump it up to NC30.

PROS:
-creamy (easy to blend and use)
-opaque coverage (it covers my scars & undereyes really well)
-buildable
-in a nice portable container (looks like a MAC eyeshadow)
-can be used with a brush or your finger
-comes with good amount of product (7g)
-doesn't irritate skin (i'm sensitive/acne-prone...this doesn't break me out)
-long lasting


CONS:
-can be a bit drying..
-if you have oily skin this won't last all day on you.
-unsanitary (you have to dip your fingers/brush in it over&over again)

OVERALL:
PRICE: 3.5/5 stars : It is $16.50
PACKAGING: 3/5 stars : would be nice with a mirror
QUALITY: 5/5 starts

I give it 4.5/5 stars. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.
