So today's review is a cream concealer from 'MAC'.
I bought this concealer to actually hide my scars and redness left from my breakouts. I heard that this concealer has amazing coverage to hide imperfections. I have a deep dark scar that I really wanted to conceal so I went to MAC store and ask one of the girls to help me conceal it. At first, she tried to conceal the scar with just this concealer but it was still very noticeable. She then tried to use a corrector, then powder over it, then use the concealer again, then powder, then concealer....After tons of layers of everything, it is still noticeable so she eventually gave up and say 'you know what, a little bit of scar is fine'. I felt bad not buying this concealer from her since she really had try very hard to help me. So that's a little short story of how and why I bought this concealer.

Personal experience using it: I personally find that if you have slight redness and also light scars, this is a nice concealer to cover it. It is not a full full full coverage concealer so it doesn't cover up those nasty big red spots. Also, do not use this concealer on spots that are dry because it can look very cakey. Deep dark scars or angry spots can't be cover by this concealer. It is very thick and creamy so you really do not need a lot to cover up any imperfections of yours. Overall, I think it is an average concealer, not as amazing as I thought it would be.
Would you repurchase: at least not for now because I still haven't use up the current one yet.
