This was given to me as a birthday present, because I am lucky enough to suit such a red. It's absolutely fantastic, but the only problem I've had is that it makes your lips really flakey, even if they were smooth before using. If you reapply, the flakey-ness gets worse. I'd still use it again (it's my favorite color) but just as a warning to others!

Tips: Perhaps keep some lipbalm handy when using and definitely make sure your lips are flake-free before applying!
I only own 2 colours snob which is a bright baby pink colour and is satin finish formula and pink plaid which is a dusty pink colour with a bit of a purple undertone its a very neutral colour it is the matte formula.
The bullet casing I love this it is sleek and stylish I also love with this how the lid really clicks on so there is no way the lid will come off in your handbag.
The formula of the satin finish is a wee bit drying so you need to make sure your lips are scrubbed nicely because it's not so forgiving and shows every crease. For me this lipstick wears for 5 hours before the need for a touch up. Also as it wears the colour stays the same it doesn't change colour or become less vibrant. I'm not usually a huge fan of Matte lipsticks but I really like this one
The satin finish is lovely too it's weird because I keep thinking its matte I think it's because the intensity of the pink it's almost opaque, and there is no pigmentation with it. I still like it and it will last a good 4 hours without the need for a touch up. I really like the formula and the longevity of these lipsticks and I can't wait to by more in different shades that aren't pink and in one of the other finishes.
I love my Mac myth! I've repurchased it twice now and it's my holy grail lipstick, perfect for light tones as a nude, the texture of them is amazing and I quite enjoy the vanilla smell, love!
Tips: Dust translucent powder over more glossy formulas for a matte finish
I have a few Mac lipsticks but my most favourite is Angel. On my lips I think it is very flattering and a beautiful colour that goes with my skin tone. I wear it with a slightly darker lip liner and the pair really compliment each other.
I must have been living under a rock before i tried Mac lipsticks and is now safe to say i am fully converted. With a great range of different finishes and so many colours to choose from and a stunning mix of cool and warm tones every girl will find a colour they love. the stunning colours last all day, smell amazing and are non-drying. Highly recommend.
Tips: A good lipliner makes a world of difference
I have several MAC lipsticks (Sin, Viva Glam Miley Cyrus, Snob, Pure Zen, Rebel and Sandy B) and have never been let down. Each lipstick gives a great colour payoff. I find my darker shades (Sin, Miley and Rebel) stain my lips so the colour never wears off just fades and still looks good. I find sometimes shades like snob and sandy b are quite drying but nothing lip balm can't fix. My only gripe is the price $40 is quite expensive however the quality and colour pay off makes it worth it. I definitely recommend to check them out.
Tips: Use lip balm before hand to ensure they aren't drying
Gorgeous, sleek packaging, good quality I love the formulation of the lipsticks, so opaque and easy to glide on, very moisturising and don't crack on your lips (even the matte ones) the mattes are one of my favourite as they stay on for a really long time so you don't need to worry about reapplying especially with the darker colours :) they are a little pricey but I definitely recommend getting one, easy to apply and stay within the lines with a normal amount of product in the tube :) such a nice vanilla smell too!
I now own 3 Mac lipsticks in the shade violetta , heroine and Russian red , all the colours are super pigmented and last longer than other high end make up brands , I wore violetta to a wedding and didn't touch up all night and by the time I got home was still just as good as when I applied so if you're looking for a long wear colour Mac lipsticks are something I would highly recommend
Tips: With the bold colours like reds and purples the colours bleed so using a matching liner helps to keep lines clean
I just love this brand, their lipstick are amazing. Not only they have a wide range of colour selection but it also moisturise. Last for a very long time which is a big thumbs up.
I chose MAC lipstick for my wedding day. There was so many shades to choose from I got a nice natural shade with a hint of gold in it. It stayed on well lasting through most of the day . I think I reapplyed once before photos. I still use it now if I'm going out . Very moisturising and long wearing .
Tips: Apply and for a wee shimmer I added a clear gloss over top. If you apply after foundation it stays on your lips really well
