I own the iconic Ruby woo colour and I can understand why it's so popular. Mac lipsticks just have such good quality. The colour pay off is so good and they last a long time on the lips. I will say like most department store brands, Mac lipsticks are not very affordable, but you'll definitely get enough wears to make up for the price. The lipstick formula goes easily on the lips and doesn't dry out! I love the texture and the black packaging is always a plus for me.
Tips: The smell is not strong so it won't be distracting.
These have always been great quality lipsticks, which great lasting power and pigmented colours. If you’re wanting a standard good quality lipstick MAC lipsticks are the way to go.
Tips: Use with a lipliner
After many years of obsessing over mac lipsticks and never being able to afford it, I finally purchased my first mac lipstick for Christmas!! I am in love with the formula, how effortlessly it applies. The colour pay off is amazing and it lasts mostly all day with a small reapplication. It does have a scent which is pleasant. I will definitely be repurchasing more colours.
Tips: Dont apply to much as it shows up all the lines in your lips and can look cakey.
MACs sin lipstick is the perfect 'grunge' colour. It's a super deep berry/red that has a matte finish. This was generously gifted to me by my bff - I hadn't ever seen the shade and was delighted to try it.
It has extreme pigmentation - one swipe across my lips provides perfect opacity. As this is a matte it is a little drying but it definitely isn't the driest lipstick I have tried. Even though it's matte, it doesn't pull or skip on my lips when applying it and you can build up the colour easily enough if you wish to.
The staying time on this is around 5 hours for me with a lip liner. If I am wearing this to work I will take it with me and reapply throughout the day. Overall this is a beautiful lipstick and it is easily one of my favourites. I love it.
I brought this colour coming through duty free, so it wasn't as pricey : ) I love how pigmented it is, and it is long lasting - almost becoming like a stain if not reapplied. Though find it is a little drying than i would like. Its more of a pinky-red than orange or blue based.
The packaging could have been better. I have bought a few mac lipsticks in the past and while all have had great colour intensity and fairly normal lasting time, however the tubes often break: usually with the internal casing containing the stick itself meaning that it is lose inside the tube. This causes the lipstick to get blunt and wasted against the sides of the tube.
Tips: When using the matte shades its better to apply the product with a brush and it may take several coats to get a decent level of coverage (the stick is quite hard in the matte shades.) Also ensure that you have done a lip scrub first to get rid of dead skin so it doesn't cause a lumpy finish.
I had the matte fawn colour, freckle.and I found that it was a very pretty and full covering lipstick. It even smelled great! The only downside it that it's slightly drying and a little bit sticky when applied.
I love Mac lipsticks. I only have these two shades but both are very pigmented and will slightly stain lips. These lipsticks are long lasting. I naturally have chapped /dry lips, and mac lipsticks are not that hydrating . I always have to prep my lips by exfoliating and wearing lip balm before and after applying the lipsticks. I love these lippies regardless!
Tips: Lipliner will help make these lipsticks last even longer!
Personally I love the Mac lipsticks - anything matte is my favourite but im also loving the pearl and frost. I love how the different formulas show the same colours in different lights. Also I find them very hydrating! The only thing that puts me off is the price.
