I got a hankering to grab a new tube when I came across an old one while cleaning out my office, and I remembered how much I loved it. It may be a seasoned veteran, but it still works great, especially around trouble spots, like flaky patches and pimples.Īnd it doesn’t oxidize as much as MAC Pro Longwear Concealer does on my combo dry/oily skin. Gravity feeds are best to cover small areas, while siphon and side feeds help create detailed work. You can choose a gravity, siphon or side feed. Feeds control how paint disperses into the airbrush. Their three main components are the feed, mix and trigger. For a full-coverage concealer, it looks virtually undetectable on the skin. Airbrush kits can enhance crafts, clothing, shoes and more. It’s a medium- to full-coverage liquid concealer you can use under your eyes and anywhere on the face. Select Cover-Up comes in 13 shades, so that’s a nice, wide range of colors. Needless to say, it’s been around a while. Select Cover-Up, the last thing I grabbed at the counter, is something I used a lot waaaaay back in the day when I first started wearing MAC face products. When I’m in a rush - you know, like every day of my life - I like to do a layer all over my lids, and then apply some quick cat eye liner. I use it as a base for neutral brown and taupe eyeshadows, and I also think it’s just really pretty on its own. Groundwork is a neutral mid-toned taupe-ish brown with a matte finish, and I love it for everyday looks. It also intensifies whatever I layer on top.
Soft Ochre acts kind of like a buffer between my skin color and the shadows, and makes the shadows more closely resemble the way they look in their pans. Like, if I have a palette with shades that are slightly lighter than my skin tone - like pale taupes, tans or beiges, which wouldn’t normally show up well on my NC42 skin - I’ll start by buffing a thin layer of Soft Ochre on my lids with a MAC 217, then apply the shadows on top. I use it sometimes to sort of blank out the natural color of my lids (similar to how you might use concealer on your lips to blank them out). I think matte warm beige Soft Ochre looks really pretty under warm neutrals like Soft Brown, Saddle, Ricepaper and Swiss Chocolate.
