It blends in very well as you can see here, but I do have to make sure I don’t use too much with this. In terms of coverage I feel this concealer makes light work of my dark, discolored under eye area. The brand claims this goes on matte, but I personally find there is still a hint of sheen left once this has been worked into the skin. It has a slightly dewy texture when it first goes on but when you blend it in the final result is more of a satin finish. Just a few dots will definitely be enough to get the level of coverage I like. Now this is way more product than I feel I need when using this. Here you can see the product in a swatch. No cakeyness whatsoever and on my dry, lined under eyes that’s a feat. But overall this wears all day, blends in seamlessly and looks great when powdered for a long time. With a brush it can get a little bit streaky. This is best applied with a sponge though. It perhaps has fuller coverage than I prefer but this still blends in easily and because it is more of a buildable formula, I feel this still looks natural on the skin. So despite the claim, I feel this is a concealer that hits a lot of points for me. The infamous Pro Longwear has always seemed a bit too heavy for my liking no matter how many people rave about it. Before this I had only really tried was one that came in a Paint Pot like jar that I used before I ever wore foundation. It feels very hydrating to the touch and blends out easily. The reason I bought this? I really liked the texture when I tested it in store. Apart from the medium to full coverage claim, this sounds like a concealer I might light. It should not look cakey, be quite hydrating and stay put for 24 hours. The MAC Studio Fix concealer is one that is supposed to be lightweight, but with medium to full buildable coverage. They don’t always do super exciting things anymore I feel, but there are a few staples I still go back to. I mainly have a soft spot for MAC as it was one of the first high end brands I tried. MAC is of course known for not being a cruelty free brand, but I leave that choice up to you as a reader whether you find that a factor that influences your makeup buying. At €24 a pop this isn’t a super expensive concealer, but it certainly fits more so in the high end price bracket. I bought mine in store, but MAC is quite widely available so I don’t think you’d have any problems getting a hold of if you were interested in this. And now that I have, the only thing I can say is: why didn’t I try this sooner? Because this is good! Review: MAC Studio Fix 24 HR Smooth Wear concealer in NW15 ![]() So it was high time that I put this in a shop my stash and test it out. ![]() This has been sitting in a drawer for more than 2 years without it being used. ![]() Not the review (this happens a lot to me that I could review the product, but I just don’t end up writing about it), but the actual product. ![]() It is one of those that just got lost in the shuffle. Why? Because I have owned this concealer for years but just never really used it. I introduced this product in my Shop My Stash as the ‘shame of my makeup collection’.
