First Impression:
    I heard of the Pro Longwear concealer all over YouTube, it had rave reviews and to my knowledge there are no negative reviews (they may be out there, but I haven't seen them). I was on a shopping trip with my dad and decided it was a good time to try this product after hearing so many wonderful things about it. I have tried the Pro Longwear Foundation before, and it was a great foundation I hope to repurchase soon, so the concealer seemed promising. When I got it home to test it out, after a few pumps to get it going a HUGE dollop of product came out, much more than I needed! It was sad to waste all that product, especially since it's quite pricey. To use this concealer you only need a VERY tiny bit, the pump dispenses WAY too much product at a time. One has to be very precise and very careful when pumping the product out so as not to get too much and waste a ton of expensive concealer.

Lasting impression:
    I really love this concealer! It is of a very thin consistency which is great because it doesn't feel goopey or cakey on the skin; as such, with it being so thin, you'd think it wouldn't be very pigmented, you'd be wrong! It is so opaque you barely need any to do both under-eyes and blemishes, literally a little dab will do 'ya! It also is very brightening, which is great for the under-eye area because the yellow in the concealer cancels-out the purple and blue of undereye circles. I would say this is best for undereye circles and not so much for blemishes, but that's just how I primarily use it. The lasting power of this product is stated in the name, "Longwear"; it has lasted me literally 12 hours or more. This is very impressive because I have a facial sweating issue--my face sweats a LOT--so for it not to come dripping off my face when I am hot is very, very good. I have never had a concealer before that will last through my sweating! The application is very simple, just pump a small drop out on the back of your hand and apply it either with a concealer brush or your fingers; it blends out effortlessly, and in no time your dark circles will be completely invisible. The product is also great because it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I have had concealers in the past that literally burned my undereye area and left huge bruise-like welts under there that were both ugly and painful. I worried that this concealer might do that, but was pleasantly surprised to see that it didn't hurt me at all. Once set with powder, this concealer will hide my dark-circles for hours and not cake-up, dry-out my skin, cause an allergic reaction, or sweat off. I'm hooked!

Verdict:
    I love this concealer, I think it is a permanent addition to my makeup bag. Yes it is a bit expensive, but like I said it lasts a long time because you barely need to use any each use. It is totally worth the money!

Would I recommend this to a friend?:
    Yes, and I already have; I also recommend it to all you blog readers out there!

Would I repurchase?:
    Of course! I will always have this in my bag!
