Advantages: Great range of shades to suit everyone Disadvantages: Quite expensive
MAC sell a few different types of concealer, but the ones that I am reviewing are MAC Studio Finish Concealer and MAC Studio Stick Concealer. I should point out that the purpose of these concealers is to cover blemishes - this may seem obvious, but light-diffusing concealers have become very popular lately; the purpose of these is to brighten and highlight certain areas of the face, rather than cover them (MAC sell one of these too in case you are ... ...- the same pot that MAC eyeshadows come in for those of you who have seen a MAC eyeshadow (a pot I am very familiar with, having over 30 MAC eyeshadows!!!). For those of you who haven't, the pot is a circular shape, measuring 3 1/2 cm across, and with a depth of 1 1/2- 2cm. It is made of black plastic, except for the flip-top lid which is mostly clear, and has the MAC logo printed on it in black. You get 7g of product in a pot.
The product itself ...

Advantages: Covers spots and dark circles well Disadvantages: None
...a concealer, which was the MAC studion finish concealer. When I went to the MAC store in Westfield shopping centre I was originally just looking for a foundation but when the consultant mentioned a concealer I thought it would be worth a try. I don't have the best skin and am always trying to find ways to hide my inperfections. As well as spots, which apprently I am not growing out of , I quite often have dark circles under my eyes. I do try and ... ...decided that I would give MAC concealer a try. I am trusting of their make up from products I have bought of them before. I also like that you can get one of the consulatants to try the product on you before you buy. The concealer as with most MAC products comes in a black box with the MAC logo on it. This product is quite small so comes in a small box. The box also has the name of the product and the ingredients written on the box. The box being ...

Advantages: Covers all flaws even the hard to cover ones, isn't expensive, lasts a long time Disadvantages: Isn't that easy to find here in the UK, needs to be bought online or a store found at a local mall
...of women are. They buy MAC lipstick, MAC Eyeshadow, MAC Powder, MAC mascara, MAC face wipes, MAC lotion, MAC MAC MAC. They usually are uber obsessed with this Brandname. In some ways though, I can understand the obsession. After being introduced to the different pigment colors of MAC, I found my fave eyeshadow. Then, this little *Gem* of a concealer. So, suffice to say, I will be checking out more MAC cosmetics as my current cosmetics supply starts ... ...i've always paid for it. MAC stuff isn't normally "cheap" but it's not really expensive either. This stuff is around the same price as most of the same in Clinque or Lancome and works 10 times better. So, it's NOT going to break the bank. Like i said, you can get this on Ebay or at a MAC store which is usually at various department stores. You might want to go online and see what locations are near you. *****In Conclusion***** This concealer is everything ...

Advantages: Good coverage, moisturises, brightens Disadvantages: Tube doesn't shut as tightly as I'd like - just noticed a wee bit of leakage
...obsessed) daughter, I visited the MAC counter in our local department store. The consultant there recommended, based on my age, skin tone and skin type MAC Select Moisture Cover, in shade NC20 (one of the lightest shades). The shade is lighter than I would have chosen myself - this just goes to show how clueless I am when it comes to make up. Although the bottle seems dinky, and is only 5ml, a little really does go a long way. The thin little bottle ... ...is different. Online, from MAC itself, you'll pay £11.26 for this - elsewhere, you can expect to pay anywhere between £10 - £15, probably less at some discounters. Used sparingly, you should get decent value for money, as premium make-up brands go. As a non habitual make-up wearer, I can recommend this concealer. ...

Advantages: good coverage, long lasting, wide range of colours Disadvantages: easy to dispense more then needed
...worse, I decided to give MAC a try. The assistant matches you up with a shade that suits you, and because there's a much larger range of colours then with cheaper brands, it's easier to find one that is an (at least almost!) perfect match for your skin tone. They also have a variety of different concealers to suit what it is exactly that you are trying to conceal. I wanted one for both blemishes and under eye circles, and was reccommended this one. ... ...have heard negative things about MAC make up's effect on skin. However, I honestly do not think this product has had anything other then a positive effect on my skin.
I am so glad that I found this. I don't think I will ever look elsewhere when the time comes for another concealer.
EDIT: In response to comments:
This concealer costs £11.
I went to the MAC counter in Birmingham Selfridges, but when I decided to buy the concealer they only had ...

...but i have to say Mac concealer is my favourtie. It lasts a long time, i had one for months, i think it added up to a year, it can blend in with my skin tone easily and it dosen't look to fake or chalky. It gives a naturaul look, gives a subtle glow and makes my skin look healthy and fresh. It dosen't make my skin look too cakey. It comes in a small container but does contain a lot, It lasts all day long for me and is easy to put in my bag so i can ...

Advantages: conceals scars, burns, sergical scars, reddness Disadvantages: shades need to be lighter!!!!!
...the lightest shade. I wish mac would make even lighter shades It would make my life easier! or make custom shades for a more expensive price would be great. I was burned in an accident 8 years ago and I have to use alot of this concealer to cover scars and other issues I never feel comfortable in this makeup. I find that I try to put it on lightly and because it doesnt match my skin exactly it ends up looking crazy. so putting it on excessively heavy ... ...i continue to try new concealers and nothing looks as good stays as good and matches as much as this does. when I sweat it doesnt come off all weird and you can add more over a wet face and it still goes on and stays . I have to admit I hate to wear makeup and I only wear this to go out or around other people. I feel a huge relief every time I take this makeup off and I even get happier once its off.But I will give this concealer the credit that ...

Advantages: Versatile and effective Disadvantages: Need to take care not to contaminate the product (no fingers in the pot!)
Mac concealers, for me, are about the best there is for two very important reasons. Firstly, there's the colour range. The concealers are available in the same selection of shades as their foundations, which means that whether you have pink or yellow based skin, are very fair or dark, there's almost certainly going to be a shade to suit you. Then there's the adaptability of this product. It's very thick (it comes as an almost solid cream in a little ...

Advantages: dark circles or blemishes? Disadvantages: a little expensive
I love mac makeup! this concealer works really good! I use it to cover up my dark circles under my eyes and to cover up blemishes. Its lightweight and it blends well into your skin. it best to set up an appointment with a makeup artist to see which shade is the best for you. this concealer is a little expensive, it comes in a really nice package and it will last you for along time. I also recomend to use the pressed powder by mac , after using the ... ...well as myself that uses this concealer and other products. this concealer can easily be removed when washing, but it will last on your face all day and you dont really need to reapply it, you should never over-do it on makeup, then it will look caked on looking. ...

Advantages: Coverage, consistency, doesn't cake, longevity Disadvantages: works best with undereye cream
Having spent many years looking for the perfect concealor (I have quite heavy under eye circles) I hit the jack pot when discovering this. It is an absolute must for those with dark undereyes. It has a great thick consistency and stays put all day. If put ontop of a good quality undereye cream there is even no need for a touch up before going out. It also rarely cakes and there are a great array of colours to quit any skin tone. The product lasts ...
