REVIEW! | MAC Select Cover-Up in NW25


If you've got a spot, yo, this'll solve it!  MAC's Select Cover-Up, described as "liquid camouflage for the skin", is a full coverage concealer that really delivers.

I've been having some hormone-related break outs on my chin (previously described as "chacne") and the concealer I normally use for assorted spots n' dots just wasn't getting the job done.  Everything was covered at the beginning of the day, but by mid-afternoon the concealer had done the Freak Nasty and dipped.  I randomly came across a photo on Instagram of MAC Select Cover-Up and, after reading a few reviews, I decided to give it a try.

It's an opaque, creamy liquid formula in a squeeze tube with a needle-fine applicator.  Don't let the small size fool you: a tiny dab of this powerful concealer covers a LOT.  I think this tube might last me ten years!

Now for some grossness!  Who DOESN'T want to see someone's zits magnified?!  If you don't, skip over the next shot!
Below I've applied foundation and a dab of MAC Select Cover-Up over the blemish using a concealer brush and blended it out with my finger.

The shot below was taken the day I bought Select Cover-Up.  Probs are evident.  I needn't point out that this is the before shot.

I'd compare the coverage to that of Benefit's Erase Paste if any of you have tried that.  What I love about Select Cover-Up is that it blends seamlessly into the skin, doesn't crack, and stays in place all day on my combination-oily skin.    

For anyone struggling with blemishes or sun spots, I think you'd really appreciate what this concealer can do!
