Love. Love. Love.

I absolutely LOVE my Mac lippies! They are still hands down my favorite lipstick brand and I have tried a fair few! They have such an amazing range and they all have such great colour payoff! The only gripe that I would have about some of these is that the Matte lipsticks can be rather drying on my lips, but putting a good lip moisturizer underneath usually manages to fix this problem!

You'll find something you like for sure!

I've tired a few MAC lippies and all have been really well pigmented and gorgeous colours. The matte finish type are extremely longwearing (I have Lady Danger which is a gorgeous statement red) and the creme sheens are super moisturising. Ony downside I have found with the lighter shade creme sheens (ie creme cup) is that if your lips are dry/flakey the pigment can be quite uneven in application, so good lip care is essential for it to look the best!

MAC lipstick

Mac has the best colour range of lipsticks I have ever seen . They not only feel nice going on and stay on your lips for a long time but they are affordable aswel. You can also sign up to the store and get a loyalty card and they give you discounts .

Tips: Once you have used 5 lipsticks keep the empty containers and take them back to your closest mac store and they give you one for FREE

I heart MAC

If you want to add a MAC make-up in your beauty regime, a MAC lipstick is a must have! Huge color range and you can always find a finish that suits your needs and to complete that look! I always used lipsticks from Matte range for work as it stays long and looks natural. Looks elegant just wearing it alone even with minimum make-up :-)

Love

I really like my MAC lipsticks, They're so creamy, and last for ages. They don't feel like they dry out my lips, so don't make me feel like I need to constantly lick my lips to keep them wet. So many colours to chose from!

MAC Lipstick

These lipsticks are really good. There's an absolutely enormous range of colours, so there's definitely something for everyone! They're very pigmented, and longlasting depending on which formula you get (I find Cremesheen wears off much faster than Matte for example).

Tips: Make sure your lips are well primed before applying Matte formulas!

just perfect

The mac lipsticks are great, they have such good colour payoff, and it is instantly clear that they are high quality lipsticks. I thoroughly enjoy these lipsticks, dont own many however ive tried tonnes, they are near perfect.

Tips: My one and only and also most important tip would be that if you are using the matte finishes especially its great to apply two coats, the first coat is the base nd the second coat fills those fine lines perfectly, and it also doubles the colour payoff

Expensive in NZ but quality

I currently own three MAC lipsticks: Russian Red, Prepare for Pleasure (from the limited edition Divine Night collection) and Rebel.

Russian Red is an absolute classic matte, bold, blue-based red. It has amazing lastability but can be a bit divisive due to how intense the colour is.

Prepare for Pleasure will be hard to get your hands on now but is a bit less intense and thus more wearable than Russian Red. It comes in a creme sheen finish which also makes it easier to apply though without the same longevity.

Rebel is a lovely darker purple in a satin finish. Very wearable and looks good with fairer skin tones.

All three are just brilliant and I would undoubtedly buy more if they were more in line with the US pricing. As they are, they're a treat purchase and not something I buy at a whim or wear often.

Tips: As with any intense coloured, if you want hard edges, use a lip pencil to give a base to the lipstick. The Russian Red goes on a lot easier with a smooth base from lip balm or similar.

Shanghai spice and Snob

These are the names of the two mac lipsticks i use the most. Shanghai spice is a nice natural looking copper/coral where as Snob is a solid candy pink.

Tips: Before applying the lipstick, use a lip scrub to get off any dead skin which will make your lipstick go on more evenly, and use a clear lip balm underneath it too.
