Makeup Revolution Cover & Conceal Palette - Light and Light-Medium - Review

Hello everyone! Over the past few weeks I have been discussing the bits and bobs I have been trying from the infamous brand Makeup Revolution. One product I was particularly interested in was their Cover & Conceal Palette. 

As you can see I picked up two of these palettes. One in Light and one in Light-Medium. The reason I did this is I was very interested in using these palettes for contouring. These palettes are available for £6 each. You can check out the Cover & Conceal Palettes here on the Makeup Revolution site.

Light

Firstly the Light palette. As you can see the palettes come with 8 considerably large pans of concealer. The concealers themselves for both palettes are extremely creamy. At first I have to say this worried me! I didn't want a concealer that was going to melt off! However it is this creamy texture that allows the concealer to blend beautifully! I must warn you however that in warm weather these palettes can become even creamier so I try to avoid them when its a bit hot!

The shade selection for fair is great for those of us with paler skin and offers tons of variety.

Above you can see the top shades of the palette swatched. The variety of shades is really good in my opinion. Although in the pan the shades look very similar they are actually all incredibly different. What makes the palette so diverse is that the concealers can match those with various different skin tones.

Above are the bottom four shades in the palette. As you can see the concealers are incredibly creamy. If you are concious of creamy products then this may not be a hit for you however I loved the creamy consistency! It allowed me to blend in the product beautifully without creating any harsh lines which makes it perfect for contouring - just what I wanted it for!

Light - Medium

Above you can see the palette in the shades Light-Medium. Personally I can see this being perfect for those that tan or even use fake tan as it offers such a diverse range of shades. I myself use these for contouring and for cream bases of neutral eyeshadows. 

This picture, once again, shows the top row swatched. I'm not too keen on the fourth shade along the top row as it is very orange so I probably won't be reaching for it too often!

The bottom four shades however are absolutely gorgeous! Yes I will admit I don't reach for this palette too much except for when contouring however it is just so perfect for contouring and is also perfect for doing other peoples make-up as there is such variety!

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15 - Review

Recently I have been wanting a fuller coverage when doing my make-up. I've had a few important days and nights where I have wanted my make-up to look as good as possible so I thought I would splurge on those items that I don't usually usually splurge on!

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15

I've had my eye on various different concealers by MAC. A lot of their concealer range has received pretty good reviews so I thought I can't go too far wrong with what I choose! Part of my reasoning behind choosing their Pro Longwear concealer was it being long wearing as the name would suggest. As I have mentioned countless times I want make-up that lasts as long as possible and ideally requires minimal touching up (not asking to much am I!) as I lead a busy lifestyle and I often expect my make-up to last from 7am to 10pm (again not asking much). I'm also a girl that hates touching up make-up! So this concealer appealed to me as it is specifically long wearing. 

One thing I will say I wasn't happy with was the size of the product; especially for the amount you are paying for! For 0.30 Fl OZ you will have to pay £15.50. To put the size in to real terms the product is about the size of my little finger - with the lid being just below half of that size. So in light of this I have only being using this concealer for special occasions! Whilst we're on the packaging I need to express my disdain for the lid.  It's that horrible matt type material that absorbs every make-up covered fingerprint on to the lid. I can never see the sense in that type of material being used in make-up packaging!

Anyway lets discuss the actual concealer itself. The concealer is fantastic! On the website it is described as 'medium to full coverage'. I think it is full coverage for sure - if you are after a concealer that you could double up as a foundation then this would be perfect! This product is also described as having a 'matte finish' which I also agree with. However if you team it up with a foundation that has a more dewy of satin finish it does not affect the finish of the foundation which is fantastic. If anything it gives the foundation an even base to sit on. The product has also been described as lasting '15 hours'. Astoundingly I agree with this as well! When I am taking my make-up off at the end of the day this concealer is still hanging on; covering those dark circles from my early 5am starts!

Overall despite my earlier rants about the packaging and the price I honestly love this product overall. Yes it has its downsides but I think if you just isolate your thoughts to the product alone you are definitely paying for quality. I would definitely recommend this for those special events; I have a few weddings to attend this year and I will definitely be pulling this out to use!
