Hello everybody!
A concealer is a needy product, especially if you have dark circles and occasional breakouts.
For me, the coverage of my concealer plays a role. I also don’t want it to crease or clog my pores.
In my review, I’ll tell you about MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer in the shade NW20.

Description
Discover an ultra-concentrated concealer with the MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer; a creamy yet lightweight formula that delivers intense, opaque coverage to visibly mask imperfections and areas of discolouration.
The high-coverage concealer glides smoothly over skin via a brush, sponge or the fingertips, effortlessly performing the difficult task of covering moles, tattoos and birthmarks, alongside the usual blemishes and minor imperfections. Although the product offers opaque coverage, the finish remains subtle and natural-looking for a discrete finish
Outer appearance
The concealer is housed into a small jar made of good quality black plastic.

The plastic has some shimmer infusion which is barely detectable.

The bottom part offers a minimum of the product info on it.

The top cap is easy to open and close with a click. It lingers tightly and won’t pop open.

I can see the concealer shade through the plastic window on the top.
I have it in the shade NW20.
NW means pink-beige (neutral warm shade)
Consistency and aroma
The concealer is very thick.

But it sits on my brush and fingertip well.

It’s tough to spread over my skin but it blends into it well, even though I still have to press down my finger a lot.

Thanks to its thickness, the product easily conceals my blemishes.

The smell is barely there, cosmetic and pleasant.
How to use
You can use a brush or your fingertips to apply it.

I have a special brush but still, fingertips are better tools here. A brush is more for professional use.
Results
Because of lack of sleep, I have dark circles under my eyes and this concealer beautifully camouflages them.

But, there’s a drawback. The thing is that it creases some time after application under my eyes. I blend it out again and the creasing disappears.

My skin has some occasional breakouts. The concealer camouflages them all too. However, it can define some small flaking bits.

The product offers high coverage. It doesn’t settle into my pores throughout the day and doesn’t clog them.
It stays put well and doesn’t sink into my skin. In fact, I don’t even see it on my face. The finish is natural and excellent.
But I don’t wear it on a daily basis, because the coverage is too thick. I don’t want to weigh down my skin too much.
Removing
The product washes off with a special product - micellar water or cleansing oil.
Spending
It’s minimal, I don’t have to dip much to conceal my dark circles or pimples.
Overall
The product is awesome for quick and easy skin blemish coverage. With its spending, it’ll be enough to use forever. I love when I use this MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer, I can be sure that my skin blemishes won't be visible for some time after its application.
