Time for another Spend Vs. Save blog post and this time, I'm going to compare two of my favorite full coverage concealers: MAC Pro Longwear Concealer and Club Clio Kill Cover Concealer; two amazing concealers that have a space in my heart, but if you want to know which one I will recommend if you can only get one, then read more.
THE LOWDOWN
MAC Pro Longwear concealer (around P1,400.00) is a fluid concealer that promises a matte finish and 15 hour wear time.
Club Clio Kill Cover concealer kit (around P900.00) is from the brand's famous Kill Cover line; it's a concealer set that includes a concealing and highlighting pencil, concealer, and sharpener. It promises matte, long- lasting coverage.
PIGMENTATION
L-R: Kill Cover and Pro Longwear
Clio's concealer is very pigmented; a little dot goes a long way while MAC Pro Longwear provides medium to full coverage. Clio is the most pigmented liquid concealer I've encountered to date and I love how concentrated it is.
WINNER: CLUB CLIO
QUALITY
Kill Cover is a rich cream that helps soothe the under eye area; it doesn't settle into fine lines; instead, it yields a new layer on top of the skin that evens out the skin tone very nicely and 'lifts' the eyes. Mind you, the layer it gives doesn't look unnatural, but you will see that there is concealer.
Pro Longwear is a light liquid that is much lighter than the consistency of Kill Cover; it does tend to settle into fine lines so an eye cream is needed prior usage. This is more natural- looking than Kill Cover and gives decent coverage as well, enough to cover dark circles, but not as full as the former.
WINNER: CLUB CLIO
SHADES
Pro Longwear has better shade selection than Kill Cover.
WINNER: MAC
STAYING POWER
Pro Longwear can withstand the day- heat, oil, sebum, and all, but Kill Cover is Crossfit proof! Crossfit makes you oil up and sweat like crazy and if a makeup passes this workout, I deem it as legit waterproof and long- lasting!
WINNER: CLUB CLIO
CONCLUSION
Kill Cover is one of my best concealer finds lately; MAC Pro Longwear will always be one of my favorites, but Kill Cover has topped my list recently just because I am into full coverage bases nowadays.
When my eyes are looking okay, I use MAC Pro Longwear; if my under eyes are looking exceptionally dark and tired, I use Kill Cover.
The winner of SPEND VS. SAVE: BEST FULL COVERAGE CONCEALER edition is...
CLUB CLIO KILL COVER CONCEALER!

They say that The Saem concealer also good too. I have one but I haven't used or tested it outyet. But this Clio concealer is really raved by many of you. I think this is somewhat like the Tart tape concealer. As of now I have to settle for what I have, maybe in the future I'm gonna try this. I remember your Crossfit story on our M&G, hulas ang funda pero ang concealer pak na pak pa dn..it really withstand the sweat and heat. What an amazing product that is!
ReplyDeleteFirst saw this concealer from Ms Anna Cay's Vlog and after your approval I could say YES this concealer is real worth the hype (and the price is good for the quality) Will recommend this to my officemates na late bloomer hehe!
ReplyDeleteA must try!
Thank you for sharing your honest 200% review Ms M!
I need to visit their store in Trinoma, ASAP! Bakit ba kasi hindi ako bumili nito? Ngdalawang isip pa kasi ako ayan tuloy sayang, I hate me lol!
ReplyDeleteWow! for sure ill buy that club clio concealer..:) Thanks for this review Ms Martha..:)
ReplyDeleteI only use concealer when I am still acting in theater play way back in college. hahaha. I really don't have the courage now to try but I am all amazed by all of you who can really make it. It's a gift, it's an art :)
ReplyDeleteI just only wish they produce more shades. Anyway, I will definitely gab this.
ReplyDeleteI want a Club Clio concealer too. Gonna get one Ms M.
ReplyDeleteNever pa kong gumamit ng concealer, bihirang bihira kase ako magkapimple. Pero lately nagkapimple ako at nag umpukan pa at nag iwan pa ng mark. Sa tingin ko need ko na talagang gumamit ng concealer. Thanks for this post Ms M.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried many a concealer but my favorite lately is Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer. Club Clio's Kill Cover Concealer is a cult favorite nowadays so why not try?! I hope it pass my panda eyes ☺️
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
