Studio Waterweight Concealer

Comments about MAC Studio Waterweight Concealer:

Pros:
- very lightweight and pigmented so you only need a *tiny* amount (it reminds me of the Bare Minerals serum foundation, for reference)
- minimal creasing (I'm 32 and have fine lines, so every concealer creases at least a little on me)
- not drying
- builds well without looking cakey

Cons:
- the colors don't seem consistent with other MAC concealers (I have NC15, but it looked less fair and more yellow based compared to the other MAC concealers in the same shade)
- the product blends away almost completely when using a damp beauty sponge (not a huge deal, but I prefer using a sponge all over since I have dry skin, so it's just mildly inconvenient that I have to switch to a brush just to blend my concealer in)
- it's not full coverage as advertised, but more of a solid medium

I'm really critical of concealers and while this isn't a HG for me, I do like using it overall. If I re-purchase, I'll try NW15.

I love this. It give me a nice matte finish with out drying my skin out. I wear glasses and it did make my nose oily. You also can get this off your clothes if you spill it .
It's lasted me 3 months because you don't need much for a full coverage. You can build. Light weight.

This concealer is awful. It does not go on evenly even with Mac brush. It's impossible to even out the color when it's impossible to clend. I went in to get urban decay was talked into Mac. Big mistake. I guess it's the product they were pushing that week. Total waste of money.

I've tried a dozen concealers for under my eyes looking for one which will not crease and will highlight. For reference I'm nc45, FB 350, Nars Tahoe, a tan girl.
I purchased both nc45, which matches my skin effortlessly and nc42 to lighten. On its own nc42 turned gray and is too light, even after waiting.
The product is pigmented so I use a minimum amount and add if I need more. It's very fluid so a lot will come out of you are not careful and it's too easy to add too much and make a mess of things.
I have a sensitive under eye area prone to becoming dark with reaction, swelling, as well as creasing with most concealers.
I chose this one because it was hydrating. It does indeed make my eye area appear younger, youthful, and flawless with minimal effort or amount.
I've worn it alone on top of primers and mac strobe. Usually just nc45. This one is a keeper. After several days use my eyes did react. I discontinued use (nothing new) and will only use when I need something extra. This is a keeper. I love how it makes me look. The finish is natural, neither matt nor luminous or dewy.

I use NC35 in all other MAC concealers to highlight the under eye area. NC35 in the formula was EXTREMELY DARK. Very disappointed! I was so hyped up to try this and now I have to wait again :((

I have spent so much money on concealers over the past year and haven't found one I like. I'm 39 and my under eye area is tricky. When I saw this listed as a new arrival I figured I would try it. I'm so glad I did!! It applies flawless, blends so easy and you don't need a lot of product. It doesn't crease or accentuate fine lines. Finally!

This is hands down my favorite concealer of all time. It has a gorgeous, light-weight finish and feels like nothing on the skin. You can wear it alone, or with primer and foundation, it looks lovely either way. I would not recommend this concealer if you're looking for a full coverage concealer, because this simply isn't one, but if you're looking for buildable, light to medium coverage, this is the one for you. It is also very hydrating, and works beautifully on dry skin, without clinging or flaking. I 10/10 recommend this concealer.
