MAC Liquid last and MAC pro remover experiment

Since the day I first purchased MAC's liquid last liquid eyeliners I have shared a love hate relationship with the product.

Why?

Love Because it lasts all day due to the thick long lasting formula, It is such a thick formula that it can be described as molten plastic. From the moment you put it on to the moment it dries it is budge proof.

Hate because it is so budge-proof that it is almost un-remove-able. I have tried very reputable products to try to remove the liquid last and it just does not come off.

Products I have used to try to remove the liquidlast liners

-clinique take the day off -dual phase makeup remover for lids, lashes and lips

-clinique take the day off cleansing milk.

-clinique rinse off eye makeup solvent

-pure olive oil

-johnsons baby oil

-superdrugs/boots eye makeup remover pads

-gatineau floracil eye makeup remover

-simple cleansing wipes

-boots cleansing wipes

-boots no7 cleansing wipes

-simple conditioning eye makeup remover

-prescriptives px quick remover eye makeup remover

-dior refreshing cleansing water for face and eyes

-lancome bi facil eye makeup remover

-lancome galateis clarte gentle clarifying and cleansing fluid face and eyes

-bobbi brown instant long-wear makeup remover

-various baby wipes inc -huggies, pampers, boots, simple, supermarkets own brands.

Then due to a limited edition makeup set from MAC called upstarts lined and lashed containing, mascara, lash primer,and my fave glitter eyeliner pencil in night sky, and a mini MAC pro eye makeup remover I was finally able to put the staff at MAC's claim to the test.

so heres the cream of the experiment. The final result is that the MAC pro eye makeup remover does also not remove the liquid last liner.

So what ever remover you choose to use you will be left with some liquid last liner remains on your eyes.

Mac Face and body foundation

I was not sure what to expect with this foundation as I had heard alot of reviews often described as a tinted moisturiser by makeup guru's on youtube.

I kind of see where they are coming from as this foundation is definitely the most hydrating foundation of all the MAC foundations that I have tried. Its a very thin liquid-dy formula, and is very sheer compared to other MAC foundations. MAC claim they have put lots of good for your skin ingredients in this foundation. An ideal starter foundation the most economical as its £22 for 120ml / 4oz. A 30 ml foundation can easily last me 3 months based on that this may last a year but bear in mind I have not used this long enough to make that claim.

But honestly I would have to say that I really like MAC's face and body foundation. I would say its suitable for all skin types, I have sensitive dry skin. I did not react to this even after I experimented with it by leaving it on my whole face and neck throughout the night. I also added 5 layers of this foundation intermittently throughout the experiment and it did not go cakey, it did not stick to and emphasis any dry patches on my face. It feels comfortable to wear as its such a light formula, It is not sticky, it absorbs into your skin in about a minute and is completely touch dry. This is the first foundation I have ever dared to put on my neck as it is so light and I wanted to test its transfer resistance and although I was not wearing white I believe it really might be transfer resistant as it just seems to disappear and blend into my skin. I also applied a small amount over my eyelids to neutralize the colour and used the foundation all the way upto my lashline to see how it would react on my dark circles. The foundation did not agitate even my eyes and and blended right in and was not visible at all. It just makes you look like you have great skin. You will need an additional concealer if you have specific blemishes, dark circles, scars etc I felt that the MAC select cover up worked well with the face and body foundation to give a very natural non made up effect. It also photographs well and you look like you have naturally nice skin.

I applied with my fingers although I did try it with a brush both methods are fine and give good results.

The only thing is that this foundation does not contain any SPF so be sure this is included in your skincare such as your moisturiser.

I hope you found this review helpful, I did not get paid for this at all -Although If MAC read this and wish to pay me for this or send me other products to review that owuld be fab!
