Mr. Cover-Up

If I had to choose three beauty items I couldn’t live without it would be an eyelash curler, blush and concealer. Those are my ’secret agents‘ on which I always can rely on when I want to make myself look, well, acceptable. One of them is a true all-rounder and solves sooo many problems – the concealer. No matter if it’s dark under-eye circles, redness, blemishes, signs of fatigue and/or last night’s party, this beauty buddie has you covered. Literally. (;
As you already know my skin’s a total diva and until about one year ago I had really bad skin. I’m talking blemishes, redness, everything you don’t want to have on your face. I’ve tried every single drugstore concealer under the sun until I finally decided to invest in some high end products. Thankfully my way led me to a MAC counter in the city where I was fascinated by the huge range of shades and different types of foundations, concealers and powders. This was about five years ago. Since then I remained true to their face products (foundation, concealer, powder and blush) and haven’t been disappointed once. So today I want to present you one of my all time favourites which I don’t want to miss in my beauty bag anymore: it’s the MAC Studio Fix Concealer in NC15.

I wouldn’t recommend it for under the eyes, but for blemishes or any other sort of redness? Definitely YES! It has SPF 35, a creamy consistency that’s easy to blend, the coverage is amazing (It even covers scars and tattoos. Yep, tried that one out ^^) and it’s pretty water resistant (not waterproof though). It doesn’t melt off your face by lunch and stays exactly where you put it in the morning. Even during summer. Oh, and it lasts, like, forever! I got my first pot in 2009 and just bought a new one (2009-2014, do the maths yourself). But not because it was empty, the color changed a little bit and I guess after almost five years that’s more than okay. (; What else can I say? I love this little secret agent, my Mr. Cover-up.

What about YOU? Which concealer do you use?
