Pro Longwear Concealer Review

Pro Longwear Concealer

pro longwear 

Ok, so I suffer from hereditary dark circles.  Naturally I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun, from $1 to the expensive department store ones.  As some are not bad which I will later review, NYX, other MAC, Almay, MAC Pro Longwear wins it all.
By far it is the best concealer I have ever tried.  Again, this is just my opinion.  It’s buildable, it’s blendable and it lasts all day.  I usually have to touch up during the day or late at night, but not with this.  The pump is a little tricky though and a lot of product is wasted so getting used to getting the right amount (I still haven’t) can be tricky.  What I do is use the extra on my lids and lips as primer.  I have fine lines and cream concealers usually exaggerate them.  Not Pro Longwear.  To prevent creases under the eyes I mix a bit of moisturizer with it and apply to the problem areas before foundation.  I know most people do it the other way around but this is what’s worked for me.
Is it the best ever?  So far, FOR ME, YESSSS!  It’s sheer and it’s buildable.  Try it out and see if you like it.

Home Remedies ;-)

Sometimes we run into little beauty emergencies and have no time or maybe money to fix the problem.  Here is a list of a bunch of home remedies.  I haven’t tried all of them as of yet, toothpaste on zits does work, yet the powder on the roots not so much for my thick hair.   I will be adding more to this list as I’m reading and learning about new remedies.
