I have tried pretty much every lipstick brand known to man. MAC, well done. The texture, range of colours and finishes and longevity of these lipsticks will always make them my ultimate favourite. Huge selection of nudes for every skintone, as well as your more daring deep purples, reds and browns. So easy to apply with no-fuss bullet packaging.

Tips: You can get a free one of these babies when you bring six boxes of used MAC product packaging to any MAC store. Score!
My first ever MAC lipstick was Creme de nude which is a really nice nude with a sheen to it as it is from the sheen range. I absolutely loved this lipstick and 3 years down the track I am still using it! Sincce then I've purchased a few more and now have 5 lipsticks. I love them and the colours and some of them even have an incredible smell! My only downside to Mac lipsticks other than the price (poor student) is that the matte lipsticks don't sit very nicely on my lips, they find every crease and settle into them which makes for a bit of a ugh wear off look. That being said there are some quick fixes I found work and regardless I still am in LOVE with MAC lipsticks
Tips: Before applying any matte lipsticks from MAC I always apply Lucas Paw Paw ointment to give the lipstick a nice base to go over, I also work the lipstick into my lips with a brush or my fingers to get it nice and even on my lips
I LOVE MAC lipsticks! I have tried many different kinds and have found these to be my absolute favourite. I believe that they have the best colour range, especially for someone like me who loves to wear bright and colourful lips, and the staying power is also like no other. It is far too hard for me to decide what my favourite shade would be, but currently I have been wearing Pure Heroine, Media and Morange the most. You must get your hands on at least one! I promise you will be come addicted.
Tips: I tend to find the matte lipsticks to be drying, so tend to to apply a lip balm before hand to keep my lips nice and smooth.
I have recently purchased 5 MAC Lipstick shades and have found that the lipsticks are not very long wearing and has to be reapplied constantly throughout the say. However there is a huge colour range to choose from. I do feel that these lipsticks are over priced simply because of its label. I feel there are other cheaper brands which are just as good if not better.
Tips: Could try dusting translucent powder over the top of the lipstick to set it in place and try make it last longer.
LOVE LOVE LOVE MAC lipsticks. So many colours to choose from to match any outfit or current mood. A make up bag and hand bag essential.
Tips: I use my lipsticks along with a clear lip gloss for even more shine. I also find if you apply the lip stick in 2 coats you get longer wear out of it. In between the first and the second coat lightly dab/brush lips with some pressed powder. You will have luscious lips for hours!
These lipsticks are amazing. Super smooth to go on and they stay on for ages... sometimes longer than you need! I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others, you won't regret it!
Tips: A little bit of gloss over top for a glossy finish if thats what you are wanting.
A wee bit of makeup remover should get any left over lipstick off :-)
MAC have a large range of lipsticks and everyone I have tried on has been an amazing formula. They have all the colors I could think of and are still coming out with more. They apply smooth and even onto your lips. They are very long lasting provided you aren't planning to have a big meal.
Tips: Using a lip liner helps to improve the look, make it look more tiny and last longer.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!! best lipsticks ever, great vibrant colours, great quality and they are cutely packaged!! so worth the money!
Tips: if you get 6 empty mac lipsticks you can trade in for a new lipstick out of a certain list of colours! :)
I've just purchased Fresh Moroccan (frosty finish) from the the Mac store after trying out a few colours while waiting to be served, just couldn't resist this deep mauve lippy with a slight gold shimmer. So $40 later I owned it. The pigment is really deep and makes your lips look full and glossed up. Don't need to keep applying over and over to get depth, it just goes on so easily and stays on until I eat, drink or lick it off. This one though has a slight grainy feel to it and not as smooth as some of my other ones. It actually has a nice smell to it too but can't say what it smells like but after a while the smell disappears. I would like to buy another one but after reading they have forty different colours, that's going to take me a while to choose. I think $40 is a lot of money for a lipstick that comes in packaging that could look a little more classier but then that's my opinion.
Tips: Need to reapply after eating and drinking.
Such a range of colours and finishes - it is all a bit bewildering. I felt like a kid in a lolly shop when visiting the MAC store in Santa Monica. Not only will MAC have exactly the shade you wish for, but there will be a matt, satin or lustre finish to complement your look. The lipstick itself appljes smoothly and evenly straight from the bullet or using a brush. Depending on the finish you can expect very good staying power, with one or two touch-ups required during a day's wear. Pigments are rich and true, a single swipe yields good coverage. I do notice a little feathering of colour into fine line around my lips, but hey, I am in my forties, I am going to have to work a little harder on my surface prep! MAC lipsticks smell divinely of chocolate and vanilla. The cases are sturdy and durable yet stylish. I bought five lipsticks for myself and five more for my daughter and her friend. Rebel (dark fuschia) Russian Red (blue-based red) Goddess of the Sea (radiant orchid) Viva Glam V (lustrous peach nude) Lush Life (plum)
