Glorious Trio From MAC

Glorious Trio From MAC

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!

  1. 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 ^^

  2. 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!

  3. 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?

    1. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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! 🙂
