At one stage I was an epic fan of MAC but due to taking a more natural approach to my skincare and makeup I have left them behind and in doing so I can say that I don't miss them. There are plenty of other equal quality lipstick brands on the market most of which don't charge $40 a lipstick!
Ok the lipsticks are good in the sense that they have great colour payoff, none tried have been patchy and have a cupcake vanilla scent, with a variety of colours and finishes to choose from, but they are the same as any other lipstick that they need 2-3 top ups throughout the day as the product breaks down from normal daily activity.
Would I use again, no just because of my stand of the makeup industry and the fact that there is plenty of cheaper alternatives on the market.
Would I recommend, probably but wouldn't rave that they are the be all and end all of products
I love MAC lipsticks, the simple black packaging, the colour choice is huge and highly pigmented, they are creamy and moisturising and easy to apply with out a brush. My favourite thing about MAC lipstick is there is no cakey makeup smell to them. Would highly recommend.
Tips: Wear a lip linner to stop and bleeding or colour.
