MAC Select Cover Up Review

cover c

Mac’s Select Cover Up concealer is one of my absolute favourite high-coverage concealer. On MAC’s website it’s rated at 4.5/5. After using it religiously for a few months, I can totally see why. I’ve been using this concealer for months, so I’ve tried applying it a few different ways and I’m finally ready to post my MAC Select Cover Up Review! If you’re looking for a high coverage concealer to cover redness or under eye circles, look no further.

Coverage

This is a high coverage liquid concealer. It’s easy to build up or spread apart. Easy to find the depth of coverage that you’re looking for. While it is a liquid concealer, a little bit goes a loooong way with this product. I often find liquid concealers can look patchy and take forever to get a smooth finish. The select cover up has a high saturation of colour, and becomes kind of tacky or paint-like on the skin which makes it stick to your face and stay put longer. I have a few random red spots on my face and this concealer easily covers them with hardly any product.

Full-Range of Coverage

I also have really bad under eye circle 99% of the time. This is the only concealer that sufficiently covers them without making my under eye area seem unbearably white. The other nice thing about this product is that MAC has a whole wack of different shades. If you go into the store to buy it they’ll help you pick the perfect one! I always have to go with the lightest shade of concealer, because the darker ones rarely cover the dark circles. Now, because I have a shade that’s the same as my foundation it all just blends into one colour. There’s nothing I hate more than ghost white under eyes – it’s not any better than under eye circles tbh.

Cost + Purchasing

MAC’s select cover up costs $24 CAD for 10ml of product which is incredible. A little goes a long way with this stuff. Most high street concealers range from $20-$40, but most come in smaller bottles or pencils. You can purchase this inside any MAC retailer. If you don’t have a MAC-specific shop in your city, a lot of department stores have MAC counters now too! You can also order online, but you’ll have to guess your shade. I waited until I could get into a MAC store so that I could get matched to my skin tone. I’m an NC20, in case you’re wondering, and now I buy it online from Hudson’s Bay.

The Verdict

The MAC Select Cover Up Review verdict is… That I will probably always keep a bottle of this in my makeup bag. I’ve had such a hard time finding a decent concealer and this one has ticked all my boxes. It covers all my problem areas, it’s perfectly matched to my skin tone, and it’s not too pricey. I’ll definitely still be on the hunt for new concealers, particularly those that are cruelty free and eco friendly but for the time being, this is my go-to.

If you have any specific questions about this product don’t hesitate to leave a comment below!!

    Love this! Will definitely have to try this out as I’m also on the hunt for a good concealer- unfortunately I can’t really recommend any as I haven’t found one I love yet! Thanks for the review! 💗
