This MAC Pro Longwear was just a gift to me.
Weeeeeeee!
They bought it at Duty Free Philippines for $39.50.
In MAC's website, it costs $33.00.
It is funny how they bought 2 bottles of MAC Pro Longwear just for me.
Hehehe!
Usage:
1.) Apply to face using a sponge or foundation brush.
2.) Blend with fingers, sponge or brush.
Personally, when I am in a hurry,
I tend to use my fingers on applying
MAC Pro Longwear Foundation for a natural coverage.
If I have more time,
I use sponge,
for a more even application of the foundation.
And seldom that I use a brush on applying
the foundation since it gives more coverage and
it looks unnatural already.
For sure you don't want that kind of look, right?
One pump
generates this amount of foundation
enough for face coverage.
Another half pump
for the neck coverage.
After using this for already a year,
I can already see what key claims and benefits that worked and didn't.
1.) Long-wearing, 15 hours
- This product would last for a couple of hours but not necessarily 15 hours.
Especially in the Philippines' weather, it's too hot and your make-up easily melts off.
2.) Transfer-resistant
- This product is not that waterproof at all.
Thus, making it easily to wipe the foundation off with a tissue or handkerchief in an instant.
And yeah, could easily transfer on clothes especially trying on clothes at clothing shops.
3.) Oil-free
- Haven't really paid much attention to this since my face is naturally on the oily side.
If it's so, this would be safe for people who has acne prone skin.
4.) Controls oil
- Definitely a no on my case.
5.) Provides stay-true color
- This is definitely true if you have chosen the right color for you.
I was once told that when you pick a shade for your foundation,
pick one shade lighter than your neck.
6.) Sweat- and humidity-resistant
-Definitely a no
7.) Photo-friendly
- Definitely, yes! :)
You'll appear as flawless as one of the models of
MAC on your photos.
Just make you sure you apply the product correctly and evenly on face.
8.) For all skin types
- As I've said before,
upon using any product,
do observe what it does to your skin.
This product could be sticky and heavy at times too.
Especially when you go outside.
One must definitely use a make-up remover
in order to remove the foundation
which may block your skin's pores.
In my case,
even after you remove it with a make-up remover
and washing your face with facial cleanser,
there are still some foundation residues left
which can be removed using a toner.
