MAC Ruby Woo

I love the colour of this lipstick and wanted to use it because of it's matte nature. However, due to the matte finish this lipstick drys out your lips and ALWAYS cakes/crumbles at the corners of my mouth. Not great for extended periods of wear.

Tips: To add a little moisture, apply a lipbalm before the colour.

Everyone needs at least one MAC lipstick

These aren't hyped up for no reason. If you're wanting a high end lipstick that is worth your money and you're gonna use it everyday, then MAC is the way to go. Theres different formulas that suit everyone. Personally i love the matte and creme sheen formulas.

They do stay on longer than standard drugstore lipsticks and the mattes are really opaque. For matte formulas, you do wanna scrub your lips beforehand or lines and those ripped skin on your lips will show, especially if its dark shades such as diva or rebel.

The creme sheen formula is quite moisturising and non drying although it doesn't last as long.

Tips: Make sure you blot after every application and apply again

MAC Viva Glam

This was my first MAC lipstick purchase. The lady at the store counter helped match me to a shade of red that suited my tones well. The lipstick is smooth and vibrant - and can be dressed up or down with the rest of your make up to create a look that is perfect for you.

Tips: Definitely recommend to use a lipstick liner around it. Other lippys I haven't had to, but found this needed it to keep it in place :)

LOVE

Absolutely love my Mac lipsticks ! the most beautiful shades of pinks i have ever worked with ! Very pigmented lipsticks and easy application, definitely recommend !

Tips: If you are more into a glossy finish they work extremely well with a little gloss over top.

AMAZING OK

I recently bought my first MAC lipstick duty free in Singapore, and it is amazing!! It doesn't dry my lips out, and I feel like I don't have to apply it numerous times before getting the colour that I want! I got MAC Red and its the perfect shade, and really long lasting! I can just put it straight on without and lip liner or anything and its really creamy and lasts for hours! IN LOVE and cannot wait to get my hands on more.

Tips: Apply a lip liner first to really ensure its long-lasting!

My fav lipsticks!

I recently went to a red carpet event and I wanted a red lipstick that would go with my dress and also my skin tone/eyes/hair. I have never worn red as I don't know which tones suit me so I knew one of the best places to go would be MAC as I have been coloured matched for other make up there.

The MUA tried a few different colours on me as I had all my other make up on and I also took my dress in with me. She cleaned, primed and used a lip liner to fill my lips in before applying the most amazing pigmented orange toned red! I instantly loved it!

I walked away with the lip primer, lipliner to match the lipstick- and of the lipstick which was one of the matt ones. I felt like a movie star!

The lipstick wasn't drying at all and stayed on all night even after lots of bubbles and nibbles!

Was incredibly happy and I had so many compliments. This is my go to glam colour now :)

Tips: Definitely go into a store/MAC counter if you can and swatch the colour or get the MUA to put the colour on your lips. Otherwise google the colour and check out the swatches/images

Well worth the money

I love Mac lipsticks, they are really pigmented, have a great colour range, last ages on your lips and do not dry my lips like other lipsticks do. Favourite colour so far is Snob, it is just the right pink for everyday wear.

MAC MAC MAC

LOVE THIS BRAND! They are by far the best I have found for lippy! I love them beacuse they are beautiful lipsticks, amazing colour range, very long lasting, looks incredible for a long period of time and feels great. Colour doesnt deteriorate throughout the night and not necessary to reapply as it doesnt dry out the lips! And isnt overly expensive

Tips: Pick a range of colours to test because they all vary in colour depending on your skin tone, eyes, hair colour ask the assistants in store to help you

Mac lippies

After getting my first mac lipstick sometime ago now, I spent months not buying any other brand so deeply did I fall in love. I love the sleek packaging, the gorgeous vanilla smell, the formula, and most of all the amazing colours. The colour is strong and true and beautifully unique for all the colours I own. They are incredibly easy to apply and work with- I always use Mac for ombre or any lip style involving blending. You can do amazing things with a Mac lippie and a good lip liner! The finishes I have all last a long time, even through eating and drinking. I recommend everyone owns some mac lippies in their favourite shades as soon as possible! I love the mattes, satin and amplified finishes most of all- but it did take me a little while to get used to the dry feeling of the matte. My favourite colours are some of the most popular- Angel, (nude) Ruby Woo (red), Cyber (Very dark purple), Heroine (Bright purple), St. Germain (Pale pastel pink) and Candy Yum Yum (Bright pink).

Tips: Cyber and Heroine make for an incredible purple ombre lip if you dare:)
