![]() ![]() I would say the coverage is comparable to that of Studio Fix Fluid, but without the thick cakey feel, if you thinned out the consistency of Studio Fix Fluid you would have this foundation. I used to wear MAC Studio Fix Fluid on a daily basis during the beginning of my love for MAC, but haven't worn it in months because it is so thick and I am more into lighter, tinted moisturizer feeling foundations in the summer months, but Longwear is the perfect transition for me. You don't need a lot to cover your entire face, I would use one pump, the mua gave me too much, I was not expecting it to provide such good coverage. There is no NW15 available and NW20 is too dark for me. The colour match in NC15 is perfect for me, you cannot see where my foundation starts and ends on my face. When I applied the Pro Longwear in NC15 at the counter on my jawline to test out the colour I had MAC Face and Body on and the Longwear definitely felt thicker and higher coverage than that. ![]() I normally wear bronzer all over so I still applied that overtop. I find that it does feel nice on the skin and doesn't feel like it will rub or transfer off. The mua told me that you do not need to set this. I think this foundation is ideal for those with combination oily skin, but for dry skin it works just fine. It blends in easily, is lightweight and does not look like you are wearing foundation. It isn't as heavy as Studio Fix Fluid, but has that same tacky adhesive type feel to it (maybe that's the 15 hour wear kicking in). It goes on matte and provides light-medium coverage. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump that locks, the same as the MAC Mineralized Satinfinish foundation. I apply it with my Sigma F50 and get awesome application, I would suggest applying it with this if you have dry skin cause it won't accentuate dry areas as much. The Pro Longwear foundation is slightly less yellow than the MAC Studio Fix Fluid in the same shade of NC15 (see pic above for comparison). What I love about MAC foundations is the colour match, with drugstore it's almost always not right for me, too pink or too dark if you are fair skinned. The foundation is near perfect in my opinion, maybe perfect, I will be able to tell the more I wear it, ie see if it oxidizes, breaks me out etc. I got a sample of the Pro Longwear concealer (not sold on it yet) and the Pro Longwear foundation in NC15. I did end up returning the MAC Moisturecover concealer in the end, it was too dark and did not meet my expectations for an under-eye concealer despite trying and trying to love it. I thought to myself, nah I have a Bay at home so I will just go when I get back. I was very disappointment, the mua told me to try the Bay counter. I stopped by the MAC store at the Eaton Centre and asked for a sample of the Pro Longwear, unfortunately they were out of the sample jars so they couldn't give me anything. ![]() I take the greyhound bus down and prefer to get there early and avoid the traffic lag. I've been visiting Toronto on a weekly basis for the past few months trying to find an apartment with my boyfriend and while there I shop to waste time before he gets off work. For those who want a long-wearing foundation that isn't heaving feeling, I think MAC Pro Longwear will be perfect for you. I think this foundation is awesome and it's quickly becoming a favourite of mine. I have not tried the Estee Lauder, so I cannot comment on that. ![]() I have read glowing reviews of this foundation, comparisons to Estee Lauder Double Wear and just generally great reviews all around. I did not buy it expecting 15 hours of wear, I am a huge fan of MAC foundations so I am basically interested in trying every single one they bring out. MAC recently came out with their new foundation, it's called Pro Longwear with SPF 10. ![]()
