I am a huge MAC makeup fan in general, in the past few years I have discovered the love for their lipsticks. I have more than 10 of them in various finishes. My fave is the cremesheen formula as it is very moisturizing and pigmented. Lustre is usually sheer but moisturising too. Matte is a gorgeous finish and incredible staying power but yes, can be a bit drying at the end of the night (but still looks gorgeous!).

Tips: 1).Apply a thin layer of lip balm before applying matte or any lipsticks.
2).Blot the matte colours with a tissue for extra staying power.
3). Save ANY PLASTIC Mac makeup containers and you get a FREE lipstick from the country's Top 20 best selling lipsticks!
AMAZING I LOVE THESE. There are by far the best lipsticks i have every used and i have a lot of lipsticks. I am kind of addicted to these are my collection is growing quickly but I find my self using all of them. The colour range and texture of these lipsticks are great and they have one the suit everyone.
Tips: These lipsticks are on the pricey side unfortunately. Around $40NZ I believe. My recommendation is if you are traveling overseas grab your hands on them over there and any other MAC products you can find them for much cheaper. Also do back to MAC if you collect 6 empty MAC containers and bring them back to MAC you receive a FREE lipstick!
so smooth! stays on my lips for a long time and also comes in different types. i prefer satin and matte lipsticks from MAC because they hydrate my lips as well as colour. they stain your lips for a while after though so bast for a night lipstick not a day one unless your are not going out at night.
I have really enjoyed the matte Mac lipsticks I've had (Please Me and Ruby Woo) as they have vibrant colour and are long lasting. However, they tend to be quite dry on the lips and do not always leave a smooth finish.
Tips: Use a lip scrub and a small coating of lip balm to smooth your lips and this will help make a smooth finish and also make sure your lips are hydrated. For the Ruby Woo especially which is quite a dry lipstick - the lip balm before hand is a must.
I don't believe you need to spend the earth to have the latest looks or the best quality however MAC never fails. You can always find the colour your looking for with the finish you want.. And it will always be fantastic quality. I know we all want big collections but quality over quantity any day. I am a huge fan of HEROINE a beautiful RICH deep purple.. I haven't been able to find a lippy like it, and i describe it as the perfect purple and my dream lip. Without MAC i wouldn't have that fave!
Tips: Don't let the price scare you, one good lippy is way better then heaps of not so great ones.
I love these lipsticks. They have amazing colours and last a long time. The formulas are really nice and don't dry out my lips. A bit pricey but I do looove them =)
Mac has a really good color pay off the lipsticks are extremely pigmented, slightly pricey but alas worth every penny. A must have!
Tips: Be careful to not knock the lipstick easily breakable
Mac lipsticks are great, they last for a long time and have the best range of colours! Ruby woo is an amazing red!.
Tips: When you brush your teeth, brush your lips with your toothbrush to gently exfoliate any dry skin! It leaves the lips soft and plump ready for your fav lippy!
I recently got a MAC lipstick through the back to MAC program (exchanging 6 empty containers for a freebie) after wanting one for ages and not wanting to spend that much on a lipstick. I went with Lady Danger and as much as I love the colour I can't wear this without getting it EVERYWHERE!!! Maybe it's just because I'm not used to wearing lipstick n=but everytime I wear this it ends up smeared across my face or on my clothes and this colour is BRIGHT. I will persist with it though as like I said I love the colour. Hopefully I can just learn to be a more careful lipstick wearer haha
I have a few Mac Lipstick shades. Great pigment, but not very long lasting (the ones I have anyway). I love the smell of Mac Lipsticks as well! They smell like caramel :). The best thing is the fact that they have such a huge variety of colours.
