The MAC lipsticks are my all time favourite. Especially the matte finishes. They have a huge range of amazing colours, my favourite being 'velvet teddy.' The matte lipsticks take about 5-10 minutes after applying to become fully matte, but once they are on, they are amazing. They feel lightweight as if you aren't wearing anything at all. The colour lasts very well. However, if you eat or drink, the lipstick transfers very quickly. This is the only time you may need to re-apply. The packaging is also beautiful and the product itself smells really nice.

Tips: Use the mac lip liner which is equally amazing to line your lips before hand so that you don't go outside the lines of your lips.
I only have a few MAC lipsticks and my favourite one is Velvet Teddy. I am wanting to grow my collection of MAC lipsticks because of how much I love them. They last all day and the colour choices are amazing.
Tips: I sometimes add a plain gloss over top of a matte lipstick to change the makeup look.
oh my gosh, I can't rave enough about these lipsticks. they go on silky smooth, the colour is amazing (whether a major pop of colour or a pretty soft pink). They last for ages on your lips and the colour is solid so you don't have to apply too much. I just love it!
Tips: I love a wee sweep of a matching MAC lipgloss on top for a super luscious look
I love the range of colours and lustres that MAC have in their lipstick range, you would never struggle to find something to suit. The mattes are my favourite but can be very drying and don't have a huge amount of staying power. I always apply a good lip balm underneath before application. My absolute favourites are Real Redhead, Ruby Woo, Diva and Doe.
Tips: If you can, buy the matching the lip liner to help with staying power.
I love a new Mac lippy, i have a large collection and seem to always get similar nude colours. Velvet teddy being my new fave. The satin range is great on the lip and has a soft texture, is still nice when re applied, dosent go clumpy!! I have also used the matte range in a few colours but always seem to return to my favourite
Tips: Pair with a matching liner for full affect, exfoliate lips first to prevent lipstick from showing lines or dry lips
I have quite a lot of MAC lipsticks and I love all of them. They have such nice pigment and are long-lasting and all the shades look so good on every skin colour.
Tips: When applying a matte lipstick be sure to moisturise your lips with some lip balm because the lipstick may dry out your lips during the day.
Lurrrve my Ruby Woo. A perfect and versatile matte red which i wear both day and night. Non sticky and doesn't feel like it's glued to my lips (like many less expensive ranged lippies). This is my go to that i carry EVERYWHERE in case i need to add a pop of colour. Mostly wear at night :)
Tips: Great as a blush alternative on the cheeks too!
I'm not one to give into celebrity hype, especially the Kardashians. However, when I was getting into more nude and natural shades for lipsticks this was one really popular shade especially on tan skin. So when I was able to grab a bargain on this shade I did. Mac Velvet Teddy is described as a deep toned matte beige. I'm about a NC25 and it looks too brown on me to be a nude, it's more of neutral. I was a tad disappointed when it arrived although it was my fault for not trying out the shade in store first, although the tester was used up due to the popularity of the shade. It took a little while for me to warm up to the shade. One thing I really do like about this matte is that it doesn't feel really drying. It isn't moisturizing but I have applied this straight on my lips without a lip balm on underneath and my lips didn't feel dry, in fact I could rub my lips together and they were smooth and moist instead of that dry and flakey feeling that I would get with other matte lipsticks. Now I wouldn't say this is a moisturizing shade because apply this on without lipbalm and you'll notice a difference but for a matte this isn't drying. It feels light on my lips. I wouldn't say this is the highest quality lipstick I own but I do feel this is definitely one of the better quality lippies I own. One swipe gives a lot of color and coverage, which is great especially for mattes as I don't like to apply a lot of layers for matte lippies as the dry layers flake and feel worse as time goes on. I like that the Mac lipsticks tubes close firmly with that satisfying click but easily so that you don't have to worry but the tube opening up in your purse or makeup bag. I don't think I'll repurchase this shade just because I don't love it enough and lipsticks last a really long time. But I would consider purchasing more lipsticks from Mac especially the matte range of lipsticks.
Tips: If you are going to buy from Mac, if possible try to visit the counter they have numerous shades in a lot of different finishes. Ask a counter assistant to help you find your dream shade they are really good at that. I bought this shade online without trying it on because I gave into the hype and it was on sale. But if I had visited the Mac counter I probably would've walked away with a shade I would like and wear a lot more and I know that now because the following trip to the Mac counter I did.
My go to, holy grail lipstick. One of the only nudes that couldn't be any more perfect for my skin tone. Look good with any makeup look. This matte formula is great too, it's lasts a good amount of time and doesn't dry my lips out. It has good opacity without needing to build too much.
Who doesn't love a good lipstick? Mac lipsticks are my holy grail! I wish they werent so expensive so i could buy more. The shades are super pigmented,opaque and creamy. They go on smooth and they last ages on my lips!
