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 never used to wear lipstick until being given a set of MAC lipsticks a year ago and now I will never go back. I currently own Diva, Russian Red, Viva la Glam, and Darkside. They all wear well lasting me all day without the need for reapplication and don't smear. Love them.
Absolutely love the wide variety of shades the M.A.C lipstick range comes in . I personally prefer the matte lipsticks as with my skin tone and texture I find glossy or shiny lips give me a tacky makeup look not to mention added with colour. I find the M.A.C lipsticks wear well, and although they stay put they're also a breeze to wash off with no oily pastel feel afterwards. Size is convenient and so is the bullet shaped packaging. All these factors are a definite must for the $40+ price range.
Tips: Good amount of lip conditioner applied to lips for about an hour before putting lip stick on. Just before applying lipstick wipe the lip conditioner off. Also make sure lips are clear of all dead skin etc for a more even coverage
So pigmented, but doesnt come off smoothly. It's a matte shade but coverage is not full enough so have to apply with some form of lip primer or lipgloss afterwards. Otherwise I love it!
I love MAC lippies, I always have them in my kit for makeovers etc.. also love the colour range. They wear really well and for the most part are true to colour.
I am a lipstick JUNKIE. MAC is no exception......their lippys are second to none. Quality packaging, creamy & pigmented formula, and they have a lovely subtle vanilla-ish scent to them. The colour range is massive so there is something for everyone! By far my favorite lippys.
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.
Never will I EVER stop buying MAC lipstick! I completely and utterly adore this stuff! It is so creamy and pigmented, giving off great vibrant colour. It's quite pricey to buy it NZ- just like everything else :( but it's definitely worth it!! Snob would have to be my all time favourite every day colour and impassioned for an impact colour! Go out and but these people, you will not regret!
It's amazing how good a great Lipstick can make you feel! I just adore Pink Nouveau ! The perfect every day Pink.Lovely and creamy and with great staying power ! MAC lipsticks ticks all the right boxes
Tips: Use a bright pink lip liner to intensify your lipstick or pop on a coat of gloss over the top for a more Glamours look!
I absoultly love mac lipsticks they have so many perfect colours and no matter how many i have i always want more!! They are super addicting, Im not a fan of the frosty finish but i would defiantly recommend Cremsheene, lustre and matte ! the best thing about these lip sticks is a colour collection there are so many amazing colours my favourite are probably Angel, Candy Yum Yum, Russian Red, Rebel and girl about town xx
