PACKAGING:The concealer has the same packaging like mac mono eyeshadows.It is small and sturdy and travel friendly. The shade name and number is provided at the back of the packaging.The packaging is prone to getting messy as the concealer melts a bit during hot humid climate.
SHADE:I chose the shade nc42 which is tad bit darker for my skin.NC 35 was nt matching my tone ,nc30 was too light(I ma nc37).This one is slightly darker when swatched on hand but it adjusts to my skin tone.I use a brightening concealer over this.

MY VIEWS:The concealer has a creamy consistency.It is a dream to apply as it spreads and blends really well.In summers,it melt s a bit so I usually keep it need A/C.The concealer has spf35 which is an added benefit.Only a small amount is needed and little goes a long way.
before-after
The concealer is highly pigmented and it covers blemishes,acnes,pigmentation marks really well.The level of coverage depends upon he method of application though.It is waterproof and stays for a good amount of time.I have worn it for about 6-7 hour and my under eye area still looked fresh..It doesnt settle int the fine lines under the eye or crease on my combination/oily skin.However,if feel that it can accentuate dryness if not applied over well moisturised area.
RATING:4/5
RECOMMENDATION:I find this concealer very useful and recommend it to all those who want extra coverage.
Review of MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC45
I have tried all kinds of remedies claiming to miraculously eradicate any sign of darkness around the eyes. And I am going to sue each and every one of these remedies as soon as I can afford a lawyer.
Nothing works on my stubborn craters. So the minute I started beauty hoarding, my first stop at any store, online site, or anywhere for that matter is at concealers.
I have probably tried 17 different types of concealer ranging from the cheapest to my HG concealer.
MAC Studio finish concealer in NC45 is my current favorite until I find another equally good concealer.
I’m NC42 in MAC foundations but I use NC45 because of heavy darkness underneath my eyes. The higher the number in the shade, the oranger the tone gets. So an NC45 is more orange than an NC42. Orange counteracts the brownish and bluish dark circles.

MAC Studio finish concealer is a cream concealer with a thick consistency but does not feel heavy in any way. I have no idea how MAC achieved such a light texture with a cream concealer but they have…kudos to them.

| Blended! |
Since I have heavy dark circles, I build up the concealer to a full coverage. This can even be blended out to give a medium covering concealer.

I have reasonably dry under eyes. So this concealer does not settle much into my fine lines. But I would definitely not recommend it to those with oily skin as it will smudge and settle terribly. Dry skinned divas may opt for this if used over a moderate moisturizer.
