I am wanting to purchase the Mac prolong conlears, but there are a lot of shades. I know I don't need all of them. Can anyone tell me which ones are the most used shades I need to have. Please!!!
I used to have these, I don't really recommend them as they're super greasy and slip like nothing else, and the coverage is pretty mediocre. However if you really do want them, I found the NW range the most useful for under eye, as NC is Marge Simpson yellow. Get the palest and darkest, plus I kept NW25 & 30 as I used these frequently and saved mixing time. NW20 is really common as well but can be easily made mixing 15 & 25 so isn't vital.

Pretty much exclusively Kryolan Dermacolour... you can buff it in really lightly with an eyeblender brush for under eye/other shadows and blemishes. Cos you only need the tiniest amount as its so pigmented, I don't get any problems with creasing the mini palettes are super cheap and kit friendly as they're very compact.
I've heard amazing things about the Keromask concealers too, interested to try them out.
I've had the opposite experience...they driy fast and don't budge once they set- they are truly long-wearing.
I suggest lightest and darkest shade as well, nw15, nw25 and 45 fo mixing.
Yellow is great to have as well, everyone's clientelle differs.
I have a lot of olive-toned clients that don't have major issues with dark circles, and thus nc works well.
If concealer creases, you may be using too much. It helps to build the coverage and/or blot with a tissue to remove excess moisture.
I actually agree with both of the above posts. I don't think the MAC one is wretched, but I LOVE my Keromask and Dermacolor and wouldn't trade them for anything. You just can't beat the price point of Dermacolor for the quality and Keromask is super kit friendly and lasts for frickin ever. I have never, never, had a problem with KM on anyone's skin. Another one I recently got and like is the OCC concealer. Likin it so far.

I started out with samples of it from CRC, fell in love with it, then ordered the lightest, darkest, and middle and yellow shades and mixed. As I could afford it I added the other shades.
