Mac Concelear Comparison - Pro Longwear vs. Select Cover-up

Hello lovlies ! So today I´m going to compare the pro longwer concelear and select cover-up concelear by mac.Firstly I want to tell you what I expect from a concelear : it should be moisturissing , it should be medium to full coverage (as my undereye circles are often really dark), and it shouldn´t crease.

The select cover- up concelear was my first mac concelear ever so I really used it to death until I noticed that it was making my skin really dry so I went to the mac store and they sold me the pro longwear concelear wich is a lot more moisturising than the select cover.The select cover has light to medium coverage and it isn´t really buildable.I apply it with the finger, at first sight , I thought that I´d have to use tons of it ,because it is in such a small tube and has a really small opening, but you just have to apply a tiny bit on your finger and it melts onto your skin as you apply it.A big issue of this is,that it´s really dry and also sticks to dry patches so it isn´t really working for me,but I think it would be great for people who have quite oily skin.

The pro longwear is really moisturising and has medium to high coverage.

The little glass bottle has a pump, wich is really unpractical as there comes out so much and it is really uncontrolable so that you will end up having enough concelear for a whole face,when you pump once.My solution for that problem is,that I just wipe the rest that I don´t need into the lid and use is the next day,because I love that concelear too much ,to stop using it just because of this issue.

really dirty, but well loved <3
 It is really easy to apply with a small foundation brush or with the finger, I use the small foundation brush by zoeva to aplly it.It blends in perfectly and it doesn´t crease.
If I had to choose I´d always choose the pro longwear concelear,as it just fits my needs perfectly,but I also think that the select cover-up concelear has it´s benefits , just not for me.So if you´re looking for a lightweight concelear with light coverage, go for the select cover-up , but if you´re looking for a high to medium coverage concelear that´s a bit more dewy go for the pro longwear .
I hope this was helpful <3 Isabella
