MAC Lipstick Review

I do not buy that many MAC products. But without fail, I am a sucker for MAC lipsticks and can't seem to go past anything else! I do really have a loyalty for MAC lipsticks.

My favourite finishes are the Matte, Cremesheen, Amplified, and Amplified Creme. The Matte lipsticks are exactly what they say they are. For Mattes the bright colours and reds are great because they really pop and have a nice fresh finish if you like that look. I wouldn't recommend a completely Matte nude though, I have one but I find that I have to apply lipstick over top as it looks a bit like foundation (but that may just be the shade). I think that the Amplified ones are perfect as they have a slight sheen to them without being too shiny and glossy so they really highlight your lips!

These lipsticks have a fantastic formulation. They last for ages and have great staying power! Sometime I can apply the bright colours with lip liner and they can last all night with only tiny touchups. They also apply really smoothly.

Another positive is how the lipsticks don't dry out your lips. I am addicted to lipbalm and cannot handle having dry lips, but with the MAC lipsticks I don't need to use lipbalm as they are quite moisturising!

One downside is the price. I feel that $40 is pretty good for what you get as the lipsticks are good quality and last a while, but you can get cheaper lipsticks for half - a third of the price which are pretty much just as good!

My favourite colours are: Impassioned Girl About Town - The girl in the store recommended this one as I was looking for a very bright pink and when I saw it i didn't like the look of it but once applied it is a great hot pink/fuschia! Morange The reds are great classics but the name of my red has rubbed off!

Every shade that i have purchased is amazingly pigmented and applies like a dream. I have had no problems except wanting more and more. They also have a lovely vanillaish scent which is not too overwhelming. I have so far collected 5 mac lipsticks in a range of formulations (cremesheen, amplified, matte, frost) and love every one of them!

Some of my favourite lipsticks are MAC ones, even though they're pricey in NZ I do believe they are worth it (or just use a forwarding service to get them from America!) I own 1 matte, viva glam I, and on me it isn't THAT drying. I have super dry lips so I do tend to try keep my lips as smooth and hydrated as I can. It's a beautiful colour and amazing pigmentation and a very nice wear time. Satin finishes are probably my favourite, almost as good wear time as matte's but nowhere near as drying. Lustre is another of my fave, glossy and a bit sheer, but can be built up to a more opaque look. I recently bought a cremesheen (yesterday) and I love it! I got the colour Creme Cup and I think it's beautiful and looks nice on the lips.

I got the "Rebel" lipstick and instantly fell in love with it. The colouring was great and it smelled good. I got a heap of compliments the first time I wore it about how nice it looked on my skin tone. I would recommend MAC Lipsticks to anyone who likes a nice lipstick

...until I splashed out and bought one. I own a Mac lipstick in the shade Plumful. And now I am hooked!

Plumful is a plum shade (funny that) that isn't too bright, dark or in your face. It is a great autumn shade.

I love the size and packaging of these lipsticks; they are a sleek design that fits easily into makeup storage, a handbag or a travel bag.

MAC lipsticks are amazing to wear. They glide on smoothly and feel silky when on. The colour lasts a reasonably amount of time but I still find it wears off reasonably quick (for the price) and that is the only negative of this product for me. This can be solved by reapplying throughout the day (but I'm a wee bit lazy when it comes to that).

That being said I would definitely recommend this product simply for the variety of colours available and how nicely they apply.

mac lipsticks are extremely popular and after trying one i know why. they are long lasting and very moisturizing. the colour variety is excellent with colours ranging from light pinks to nudes to dark purples to reds. in my opinion this brand has the widest colour variety. there is guaranteed to be one to suit every skin colour.

I love MAC lipsticks. I think the way they look on is absolutely flawless, and their pigmentation is perfect. I'm not a big fan of the Retro Mattes, as I find them quite drying and difficult to apply, though the regular Matte range are great and a lot easier to apply. Overall, MAC lipsticks are perfect in my opinion if you want a statement lip colour!

I love MAC lipsticks. There's just something about them that attracts a lipstick lover like me. They have such an amazing colour range and I love their limited edition collections. I personally love the mattes, retro mattes and amplified finishes. The only downside is how expensive MAC lipsticks are in NZ. I would have more if it wasn't for the price.

MAC lipsticks are famous for their huge range of colours. It's hard to go wrong with MAC lipstick as they are very good quality. Different finishes work better for different people. I have really dry lips so I find some of the mattes too drying if I haven't been disciplined with lip balm. My favourite finishes are satin and amplified. I would recommend these to ANYONE. They are creamy and opaque and last beautifully. There's shades to suit everyone, you should check out some of the less well known ones as well because there are some gorgeous hidden gems. The packaging is simple and recognisable. There's something luxurious about using high end and I've got to admit, I feel extra special using a MAC lipstick. The price is fairly steep in New Zealand which is unfortunate. If you can get them from duty free or overseas it's a bit easier on the wallet.

There are so many colours to choose from. They have shades that suit yellow-toned and blue-toned faces. Really dreamy to apply, great consistency. My favourite would have to be Lady Danger, which is an orangey red tone. I use a lip primer underneath as they don't stay as long as some other staining lipsticks, but easy enough to touch up. Would say they are worth the price because of their quality.
