If you happen to know me in real life, you’ll know that even though I’m a bit tom-boyish in my ways, I never ever leave the house without make-up on. Unless of course I’m heading to the gym in the morning. I enjoy feeling put together and a little more presentable even if it’s a regular day.
However, I may not always have the whole time in the world to look my best in the mornings, but one of the things I can’t live without is an even, bright looking skin. I’m also super loyal to my favourites that have been accompanying me for over a year now. I’m talking about this glorious trio from MAC.
The MAC Select Cover-Up Concealer makes me look less of a zombie and does a pretty neat job of hiding my graveyard dark circles. I swear by this concealer. It stays put until the end of the day, doesn’t crease and its texture is creamy. I’m currently mixing the NC42 and NC30 so it matches my skin tone perfectly.
My absolute favourite is the MAC Pro Longwear Foundation. It provides perfect coverage whilst still being light on the skin. It gives a very natural, dewy feel and lasts up to 15 hours despite the weather conditions. I also love the fact it has SPF 10 which is great for the winter months when you don’t need a huge amount of protection. In order to apply it evenly, I use Urban Decay’s Optical Blurring Brush.
To set and fix the make-up, I use the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. This is a compact powder that provides a matte yet natural finish and helps control the shine of the T-zone. I use a big, fluffy powder brush from RealTechniques to apply it.
What’s your favourite foundation and concealer? I would love to know!

I actually JUST bought some lipstick from MAC this morning. I love the color selection, everything pops 🙂
I love their lipsticks too! In fact the lipstick I wore on my wedding day was from MAC 🙂 x
I haven’t owned anything from MAC before, but my best-friend is a maniac over their lip stick ranges ^^
I don’t use foundation or concealer, skin79 bb cream and is what I find that works better on my skin.
Great items overall. Which reminds me, I need to get new brushes ^^

As long as you wear something your skin is comfortable with, that’s the best approach to make-up! x
I’ve not had much MAC makeup. Not sure why as I have a lot of premium products, but I’ve never ventures to them for anything other than bright eyeshadow!
I would definitely go with their foundation and powders if you want to get started with MAC, the quality is far superior to most make-up x
I love MAC lipsticks, but I still have never tried their face products. I always hear great things about that foundation. Love Real Techniques brushes too!

MAC lipsticks are amazing too. I don’t tend to wear lipstick other than balms and the such, but I know they’re really nice. You should definitely try the foundation 🙂
I haven’t really owned many MAC products, but I think I would give them a try, especially after this review. I have been trying several concealers, but I haven’t found one that lasts! Do you tend to go with a slightly lighter concealer?
This concealer is the only one that gives me the right coverage, without creasing and is also long lasting. I’ve tried a few along the years and Clinique has a similar one but only slightly less lasting. I use concealer in the same colour as the foundation, if it’s too light unfortunately you will still notice dark circles. The way to go is even looking skin. Hope it helps! x
MAC is simply amazing! I can not rave enough about them <3

MAC is the best isn’t it? x
Adoro Rita. Sou tão fã da Mac. Utilizo tanto a mesma base como pó, apenas o corrector é o prolongwear também 🙂

Nunca experimentei o pro longwear em concealer, mas quando estes acabarem vou ver se resulta comigo. Infelizmente as minhas olheiras pedem algo mais substancial 😉 x
Love MAC products, beautiful pictures. ^^
Lovely greets Nessa
Thanks Vanessa! x
Gosto muito muito da MAC, mais para batons, sombras e pincéis do que base. Esse pincel da RT é capaz de ser o único que fiquei fã, é óptimo para o pó, também o utilizo com o meu pó que é o CC da Mac
Também adoro este pincel, é super fofinho e tem-se aguentado bem com tanto uso que lhe tenho dado. Mas a próxima compra da MAC vai ter mesmo de ser um baton novo 😉
Confesso que nunca experimentei bases da MAC – uma heresia, eu sei. Mas essa tem tão boas críticas que não sei se, um dia destes, não lhe dou uma oportunidade! 🙂
O meu corrector também é MAC mas não esse. É o Select Moisturecover e também é tudo isso. Fácil de aplicar, dura o dia todo e tapa tudinho. Love it. Quanto a base rendo-me à Vitalumiere Aqua da Chanel e à Healthy Mix da Bourjois. Levezinhas mas com a cobertura ideal. O perfeito! 🙂
Nunca usei nenhuma base da Chanel por acaso, nao sei se consigo deixar de usar as da MAC mas tenho de experimentar essa que usas um dia destes! x
Great Post! I personally love MAC foundations, they are always a perfect colour match to my skin (NC40) and match the undertone perfectly too! Great Post! xxx

Cheers Anisha! Yea they have a really good range of colours so there’s at least one that will match your skin perfectly x
