In luuuurrrrvvvvveeee

Im in love with MAC lippies my favourite is candy yum yum it glides on so easily and drys to a matte finish, the staying power is superb lasts all day.

Tips: Can become a bit drying if used often. Apply a lip balm or primer before lippie application to soften lips.

Mac Lipsticks

My favourite lipstick brand as they really do last and they have such an extensive colour range! They have a variety of colours and formula's that can give you either a bold or subtle look. My favourite formula is the Lustre as it provides a silky smooth finish!

Tips: Due to the different formula's some can be better than others. For example, one of my matte colours 'Ruby Woo' is so matte that it looks dry on the lips.

Mac is awesome

I bought a mac lippy a while ago and loved it however I didn't think it was worth what I paid. It's awesome to use and the wear is longer than a cheaper lipstick. I love how the color was exact easy to apply aswel

Tips: Shop around there's so many lipsticks you could try but if u enjoy mac and want to splash out go hard ladies :)

One of the best!

MAC Lipsticks are some of my all time favourite lippies!

The packaging is simple but pretty and storage friendly. The colour range is absolutely mind-blowing and this is one of the many reasons I love them, any colour you want, they have it!

There are different formula's which is great meaning there is literally something for everyone. The cremesheen and amplified formula's have got to be my favourite! Mac lipstick's all have a gorgeous vanilla scent too which is very pleasant.

I have always had so much trouble with lipsticks because of my constantly cracked, dry lips. Most brands settle into fine lines and just look awful and I can't wear them. MAC is one of the only brands that doesn't do this and for me that justifies the price! No point spending $20 on a lipstick that doesn't work and consequently I never wear when I can spend $40 and buy one that I wear all the time. I marked these down one lipstick for the price because although these are justifiable and worth it in my opinion, they are very pricey just for a lipstick!

Overall these are amazing quality lipsticks which actually stay on for a decent amount of time, I already own around 6 and definitely plan to purchase some more!

Tips: Angel, Hue and Creme Cup are great basic pinky/nudes that suit most people :)

great quality

I love my mac lipsticks , they have better staying power then my other lippies and they always seem to have a great colour range in them .they are quite pricey for what they are but I guess they kinda are worth it if they stay on .

Tips: No

LOVE

recently been avoiding buying a mac lippy which i have obsessed over for a while! as they are quite pricey on a student budget, but i decided i would give them a go (brought heroine). besides all the AMAZING colours they offer, they are also super pigmented and you are never caught feeling like the colour isnt true. they feel so nice and creamy on, but i do find that they dont last long and i find myself reapplying quite alot if im eating and drinking, but otherwise i love their matte lipsticks.

Mac Lipsticks

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

Who doesn't love MAC?

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 :-)

Love these lippies!

I am a relatively new Mac-aholic! I currently own Russian Red, Craving, Viva Glam Rihanna, Girl About Town and Rebel (also have Kelly Yum Yum on the way!). I adore the vanilla scent and awesome slick packaging. I am pretty happy with the staying power of them, have only marked it down slightly as some seem to last longer than others. I love how there is such a large range of colours and also the special limited edition packaged ones are so cute!

Tips: Once I have applied my lipstick, I put my finger in my mouth, close my lips around it and then pull my finger out....sounds weird but it stops me getting lipstick on my teeth!

New Favorite Lipsticks

I am truely in love with MAC, but their lipsticks take the cake. I have brought four in the last 12 months (I don't have a MAC store very close) and love all of them. My first was Impassioned, a bright hot pink. Im not a huge pink person but I saw this colour and fell in love. It's the perfect choice for a fun bold lip. Next I brought Up the Amp and Vegas Volt. Both very different and colours I had never looked at wearing. With my skin tone I can only wear Up the Amp in summer, but Vegas Volt is perfect year round. My final shade was Chatterbox. This is the perfect everyday pink for me. I had heard a lot of people rave about it and finally tried it. I wear it everyday, it goes with everything. These colours last for a long time. I've had Impassioned for 12 months and its still half full. I dont think I will stop buying MAC for a long time.

Tips: Try a two toned lip by using similar shades in the same finish. I've done this with Up the Amp on my top lip and Impassioned on my bottom lip. Its subtle but different, which I love.
