Any makeup wearer knows that the consistency of a product is just as important as its coverage and after [MAC's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strobe-dewy-skin-tint) Waterweight concealer drops tomorrow, consumers will no longer have to compromise between the two.

This product was modeled after the brand's incredibly successful [Studio Waterweight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gbl-porco-rosso) foundation, which was released in 2015. Perfect for covering up dark circles or disguising some pesky acne, this concealer is said to offer a natural and buildable coverage that's still lightweight enough to help an individual feel natural and carefree.

Those looking for more coverage can still use the [lightweight concealer as a foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinplumping-linesmoothing-foundation), or, can pair the product with the brand's Strobe Cream, to achieve "the ultimate glow." This product will be available in-store and online.
