M∙A∙C Pro Longwear Collection.

When you need a makeup to last, I think many of us look for long-wearing products. I have to say that my feelings are mixed with a lot of the longwear products on the cosmetics market. They tend to be too opaque or too drying. My tune may be changing though, as these new longwear products from M∙A∙C are sport on. They are longwearing and gentle, with perfect shades. This is the M∙A∙C Pro Longwear Collection.

The collection entails Pro Longwear Foundation, Pro Longwear Concealer and Pro Longwear Lipcreme. These new products are the most advanced Longwear M∙A∙C formulations that they have ever created!

For Those of You Who Like to Hide... Imperfections, that is.

At this point in my life, I have learned to embrace my imperfections. I do work on fading age spots, covering undereye darkness and some of the redness that plagues me every now and then. But I am over hiding the rest of my coloring, freckles, and what seems like hundreds of beauty marks.

For those of you who are still obsessed with hiding it all, take a look at this kit. Confessions of a Concealaholic by Benefit Cosmetics  looks like it will cover it all, as it contains all the right products you need, in one handy kit.

Inside the kit:

• "That Gal" brightening face primer
• Boi-ing industrial strength concealer in 01 Light (for fair complexions) and 02 Medium (for medium complexions) for custom concealing
• Erase Paste brightening camouflage for eyes and face in No. 2 (for medium complexions)
• Lemon Aid (sheer pale yellow) color correcting eyelid primer
• Eye Bright (pale pink) instant eye brightener

plus the brushes you need to apply and hide.

Confessions of a Concealaholic is available at Benefit Cosmetics and Sephora for $36.00 .
