MAC Studio Finish Concealer Review Swatches

MAC Studio Finish Concealer (Rs 1200 for 7 g) available at MAC StoresMAC Studio Finish Concealer NC 42 review  (2)MAC Studio Finish Concealer NC 42 review  (3)I am a concealer hoarder, because when I am in hurry , dabbing some concealer under eyes and loose powder over top gives that fresh look instantly. I always wanted to buy a concealer that could work under my eyes and anywhere on face equally well. I have MAC Prolongwear concealer but that doesn’t work anywhere else than undereye area (looks dark). So I went ahead and got MAC Studio Finish Concealer for me.

As per MAC-

A lightweight, creamy, discreetly opaque concealer. Provides a smooth, long-wearing invisible coverage for all skin blemishes. Water-resistant, fragrance-free and non-acnegenic.Concealer has broad spectrum SPF 35 protection.

I have MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC 42 (same as my foundation).

MAC Studio Finish Concealer NC 42 review  (1)

Texture of this concealer is creamy, but not too creamy so chances of creasing are minimal. Its creamy enough to spread and blend easily. During hot humid weather I prefer setting it with a powder since it creases a bit under my eyes, but when the weather is cold I avoid using powder.

I use fingertips to warm up the product and dab it under my eyes or on any blemish or spot on my face. I don’t have very dark circles so tiniest bit of product is enough to take that tired look away. Formula blends easily.

MAC Studio Finish Concealer stays on for good 7+ hours on me with minimal or no creasing (depending on the weather). It doesn’t make skin dry or accentuate fine lines. MAC Studio Finish Concealer NC 42 review  (4)MAC Studio Finish Concealer provides medium to full coverage (depends on the quantity one uses). Another positive thing about the product is sun protection. MAC Studio Finish Concealer comes with spf 35 broad spectrum UV protection !

Only downside would be price but believe me this one tub is going to last you a long time.

Overall Thoughts

I really like MAC Studio Finish Concealer and use it almost everytime I get ready to go out. Formula is creamy and easy to blend. NC 42 matches me perfectly and looks natural. It doesn’t crease or settle in fine lines if set with powder on hot/humid days. If you are looking for an everyday concealer do try MAC Studio Finish Concealer.

    i love this concealer and ive been using it for the past year but ive been eyeing the mac prolonger wear concealer recently. Do you think it’s worth getting if i already have the studio finish?

      MAC Prolongwear is great option if concealer tends to crease under your eyes.
