On todays post I am going to review the Mac Pro Long-wear Concealer, Mac Studio Finish Concealer and the Urban Decay Optical Blurring Brush.
Mac Pro Longwear Foundation:
These days I'm starting to experiment with different foundations to see what works well with my skin. I was looking for a foundation that you can wear in the morning and still looks good at the end of the day. This foundation is suppose to wear up to 15 hours in any environmental condition. It claims that it is a lightweight foundation that blends and applies easily onto your skin.
After using this foundation I believe that it is a long wearing foundation. This foundations lasts all day long. At the end of the day your foundation will still look like you freshly applied it onto your face. Compared to other foundations I fine that this foundation looks more natural on my skin. The shade NC40 blends in perfectly with my skin tone. It is a medium to full coverage foundation. I find that this foundation gives enough coverage for my face but if you want that extra coverage this foundation is very buildable as well.
This foundation doesn't have an SPF in it so its good for days when you have a party, event or wedding to go to where allot of pictures are going to be taken of you. A foundation without an SPF works well when taking pictures because it helps prevent that ghostly look you get after a flash that those foundations that do have an SPF.
The flip side to this foundation I found was that it doesn't really glide on to your skin easily unless you wear a primer underneath. You will have to stipple and buff it onto your face and ensure you blend it correctly. Other than that I'm really liking this foundation. It's a foundation that doesn't make my face look like it has foundation on and the colour matches my skin perfectly.
Mac Studio Finish Concealer:
I also purchased the Mac Studio Finish concealer in NC20 with SPF 35. So far I'm liking this concealer to wear underneath my eyes. It also covers up any dark circles I might have and brightens up my eye area. It also blendable and buildable. I'm liking this concealer and I will stick to it for now.
Urban Decay Optical Blurring Brush:
This is the brush that I mostly apply all my foundations with. A good foundation brush is essential when you want to evenly blend your foundation onto your skin. This brush is synthetic, cruelty free, and is made out of recycled aluminum. I usually buff out my foundation with this brush and it distributes the foundation evenly onto my skin. You can work your way around with this brush underneath your eyes, around your nose, and around the brow area.
I have also used this brush with the FIT ME foundation that I didn't like since I found it to be too streaky. This brush made the FIT ME foundation apply so evenly and nicely onto my face.
This is currently my favourite brush to apply foundation with right now.
