Last weekend I popped into my nearest Mac store (after just discovering they had one, I was extremely happy) and I really wanted to try out a new foundation after trying out the Mineralize Moisture and not liking it. After I has explained to the wonderful Mac assistant she said that I would be more suited to Pro Longwear as I have combination skim which tends to make my foundation not last as long. She also said that the NC range (which I had been using before) is too yellow for my skin tone and tried a NW15 on me instead, It seemed to match my skin tone perfectly and after she had talked my through the Pro Longwear and explained about how it lasted up to 15 hours I decided to try it out.

Now the Mac website says the foundation provides sheer to medium coverage but I’d say it’s more medium to full if it’s built up, I personally really like this as I’m not a fan of thin watery foundations as to me if you’re going to spend all that money on a foundation you’re going to want it to cover up your imperfections right?
One problem you may find is that when you apply it to your face it sets rather quickly due to the long wearing of it, I’d suggest that you apply the product directly to your brush then work into your face so that you’re not letting it sit on your face first and then buffing it in. The key to this foundation is to really work fast with it! Don’t let that put you off though as once it’s applied it dries to a semi – matte finish which I absolutey LOVE! I’ve been stuck looking for the perfect in between of sheer and matte and I think I’ve found it with Pro Longwear.
Onto the staying powder of this foundation. The Mac website suggests that this product lasts for 15 hours! and I can by some sense see where they’re coming from, after a long 10 hour day I came home and checked my face in the mirror to see that the foundation had barely budged, I took a tissue and blotted my face and hardly anything came off..Seriously impressed!
If you’re looking for a long wearing, nearly matte foundation that will keep your face looking flawless all day then Pro Longwear is for you, if you remember to work fast with the product then this will easily become a favourite for many skin types!
Overall rating: 9/10
