Hey guys! I'm here today to review the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15. This is a concealer with a thicker type of concealer. It comes in a pump and glass style bottle, which is seriously annoying to me. It is impossible to control how much you pump out, and you always pump out more than you need. It is very wasteful in my opinion. The bottle is glass, so be careful not to drop it on a hard surface because it will break.
The actual product inside the bottle is what makes this concealer so great. It is creamy and a bit on the thicker side. It blends like a dream. It has a matte finished when dried. They have 16 different shade, but I am the lightest, NC15. I use this product as an under eye concealer. It works amazingly as that. It covers very well, taking away all of the blue under eye circles. The easiest way I have found to apply this is - put a tiny amount under your eyes, or wherever you need it, and then blend it out with a damp beauty blender. Of course you can blend it out with your fingers, but I find that doesn't keep that full coverage because you wipe it away with your fingers. You can also apply this with a brush, but with that method, I find that it creases rather quickly. And while we're on the topic of creasing, you do have to set this with a powder. Maybe you don't if you have normal to dry skin, but I have very oily skin. I set this with Anastasia Banana powder and it sets and stays on all day, which for me is around 14 hours. This is my favorite concealer of all time. It's great for anything that you need it to do, If you would like to try this, you can for $20 here.
If you guys would like to see a tutorial using this concealer, let me know in the comments!
Thanks for reading!

Products I've Hit Pan On
Hey guys! I'm here today to show you what products I've hit pan on. Let's jump right in!
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer
This was in the Boi-ing and Lemonade duo at Ulta, and I immediately fell in love with this concealer. What's left in the pan is dry :(
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
I loveeee this powder. It cracked and shattered into a million pieces so I pressed it and then hit pan on it again. Which is awesome. I need to buy a new one.
Maybelline Gel Liner
This is an awesome gel liner for the price but I bought a Tarte liner and it is so much better.
NARS Powder Foundation
This foundation has amazing coverage and is worth the price. It came with a sponge to apply it with, which I used into oblivion, so now I use a dense powder brush from Bare Minerals. I like the sponge better.
Neutrogena Natural Radiance Bronzer
I love this bronzer. It has the perfect amount of shimmer to warm up my face. It is a bit too light to contour with though.
C. O. Bigelow Rose Salve
I'm not sure if this really counts but I'm adding it anyway.It's okay. I don't love products that you stick your finger in.
Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette
I freaking love this thing. It matches me perfectly. I need to get another one soon.
Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
This is my second one and I need to purchase a third! It is perfect to contour my pale face and smells like hot chocolate. I can't ask for more.

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette
Ahh, what fond memories. This was my second eyeshadow palette. Ever. It's not old, I promise haha. But seriously, why can't Too Faced sell single eyeshadows??
Thanks for reading!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer First Impression
Hey guys! I'm here today with a first impression of Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer. Whew! Try saying that three times fast. First off, it retails for $8.99 for 0.2 fl oz. I got the shade 'Fair' and it comes in what I like to call a clicky bottle. You rotate the red part at the top to the left and the product comes out of the round sponge at the top. So far, I'm not a huge fan of the style but I could get used to it. The actual product is really nice. It covered my dark circles, but settled into fine lines throughout the day. The color matches me well and seems to make me look more 'awake'. It blended really well. I rolled the product under my eyes with the sponge and then blended it with a small stipple brush, but you could easily use your finger. I am very satisfied with this product, and would most likely purchase again. Let's get to the pictures!

Everyday Foundation Routine
Hey guys! I'm here with an everyday foundation routine. The products will be listed below as always.
This is the finished product. No makeup face = gross.
Let's get started!
First I spray my face with toner and use a primer in my T - Zone. Then I put a yellow toned concealer under my eyes.
Then foundation! I squirt it on the back of my hand and use a flat foundation brush and brush it on my face. This part takes the longest of course. It is the base for the rest of your makeup, so I really spend a lot of time with my foundation and make sure it's blended and looks nice.
Then I put concealer on my blemishes and dark spots. And add powder all over my face.
Next I add bronzer to my cheekbones, forehead, and the side of my nose. It's more noticeable in real life.
And then I add blush to my cheeks and highlighter to my cheekbones.
And this is the final look!
Thanks for reading!
