Concealer review: MAC Select Moisturecover Cache-Cernes

There are two main reasons a great concealer is a must for me: first off I'm a teenager and I have oily skin (aka the perfect formula for horrible breakouts) which means I always need a good cover; second of all I go to school. This means I usually don't wear foundation as it can be a bit too much and so a good concealer is needed to make up for the lack of cover foundation would normally provide.

Recently (while looking through the stash of nice cosmetics my mom stupidly ignores) I found MAC Selcet Moisturecover Cache-Cernes concealer in NW20. This shade is a bit darker than my natural skin tone which made me reluctant to use it, however I did really want to try a high end concealer and I'm really glad I did.

The Good:

Since this is supposed to be a moisturizing concealer the formula is really creamy. I really like this characteristic because it makes the product pleasant to apply and, most importantly, the concealed area doesn't end up looking dry and flakey (which many other concealer will do). It is also really easy to blend (I use my finger which works perfectly fine) and when it's blended I don't even realize that it's too dark for my skin tone. My favorite things about this though is that it's pretty long lasting; if I set it with powder it will stay on most of the day.

The Bad:

Mac claims that this concealer is a moisturizer,and even though it does feel nice on the skin, it hasn't actually made any difference to me. If you are actually looking for a moisturizing concealer, this is not for you. My only other fault with this is the actual coverage: it does the job well but not as good as another concealer could.

To Summarize:

I really like this concealer because it has a nice creamy formula, it's easy to blend, and it's long lasting. However it does not moisturize (as the company claims) and it doesn't have the best coverage. Over all it's a really nice concealer and I'm really enjoying using it but it's not the perfect concealer.
