Product Claims:

A lightweight, creamy, discreetly opaque concealer. Provides a smooth, long-wearing invisible coverage for all skin blemishes. Water-resistant, fragrance-free and non-acnegenic. This emollient-based, lightweight concealer is so concentrated that a tiny amount can provide opaque coverage of the skin's imperfections and discolourations. It effectively covers dark circles, blemishes, moles, tattoos and birthmarks. Enriched with antioxidants (derivatives of Vitamin A and Vitamin E), it also contains silica to help absorb the skin's oils. Concealer has broad spectrum SPF 35 protection and is available in a wide range of colours. It can be applied with a medium to firm fiber brush (try the 242 Shader Brush), a latex sponge, or the fingertips.

This has been my bestfriend for the past few months now. I was using Revlon Photoready Concealer back then and I really love it but Mac is undoubtedly amazing that Revlon Photoready Concealer had been evicted on my makeup kit! Hahaha

I am in the shade of NC30 and it matches my skin perfectly. The packaging comes in a pot. It is kinda small and it's a good thing so that you can actually just bring it with you everyday without any fuse. Because of the extreme hot weather here in the Philippines, this would melt eventually. But would harden again when stored at a cooler temperature. 

The price is kinda steep for this small pot of concealer. But quality-wise, IT IS REALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY. This concealer had been my skin saver everyday! My skin's not perfect, I have some awful dark acne scars, dark circles, discolorations on skin, uneven skin tone and THIS CONCEALER AMAZINGLY COVERS THEM ALL!! I don't have to put tons of layers just to cover them all, just a little product goes a long way! I like to apply this using my fingers or my Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush.

The texture is a very thick cream consistency that is a bit drying on skin.  The thick cream consistency gives this concealer the ability to cover imperfections perfectly! This is not ideal for underye circle because if its thick consistency, try opting for a liquid formulation.

PROS:

Medium-Heavy Coverage

With SPF 35

Staying Power is great

Covers imperfections Amazingly

Blends easily

CONS:

Can settle into fine lines 

Flaky and caky on face when not blended properly

                Bare Face.                                 With Concealer. 

Overall, this is an amazing product which is really worth buying. My money had not put into waste! I have been using this everyday and is part of my routine. I can't live without this!!!! Hahaha
