i would definitely recommend these lipsticks. they are incredibly pigmented and the colour is true to what is seen in the bullet. for the price, i would use them as more of a special occasion lipstick but the colour selection is extremely varied and constantly being updated to cater for any kind of look. the formula is super creamy and easy to apply, the only one that takes a little extra effort would be the matte shades.

Tips: use a lip liner for extra neatness and use lip balm before hand especially for matte shades to ensure ease of application.
I have tried and own are wide range of mac lipsticks I have to say hand on the level of quality is of an impeccable standard throughout the extensive range of lipsticks. One of my favourite things about the MAC lipsticks in particular is the smell as strange as it sounds the smell of this lipsticks remind me of summer they have slight coconut scent to them but it is not at all overpowering. The lipsticks apply so smoothly and are extremely pigmented. A downfall I would say MAC lipsticks have is that darker colours such as red (ruby woo) in particular have a tendency to bleed and move on the lips, however they are still very long wearing and I do not find myself have to touch up my lipstick very often. Overall I would say MAC lipsticks are an excellent product.
Tips: Tips I would give for wearing MAC lipsticks would be to moisturize your lips with a lip balm before hand and they can sometimes cling to the dry skin on your lip. Another tip I would give would be to wear a lip liner when wearing a darker colour to avoid any bleeding and feathering of the lipstick.
Initially starting with Mac I was really into the bright shades. But after becoming kind of obsessed with the nude looks and everyday color influenced for me by Kylie Jenner, I tried finding shades similar. I started off with "Brave" which is Satin, this was like my fav shade for ages and the only lip colour I wore, it has subtle hints of pink but then that nude base. It’s so good for everyday but still eye catching. Keep in mind this is such a popular color and when going into mac recently to get a new one they had completely run out, so that’s when I got on to "Velvet Teddy", which is matte. The colour is has a nude brown base with hints of peach. I love this color and it go’s so well with my dark features, I’ve had a lot of compliments and am often asked for the name. Its a good everyday shade and will be perfect for the upcoming winter season. My last favorite everyday shade would be "shanghai spice" which is crème sheen and the color is a nude peach. I love this one, as it is a glossy option to the ones suggested above. P.S "Kinda Sexy" is another must have similar to the above ones and is another matte option. I definitely recommend these colors they are a must in your Mac Collection. X
Tips: Definitely use a lip conditioner or lip gloss to insure the lips are hydrated. I always apply a Nude lip gloss before putting on "Velvet Teddy", "Brave" and "Kinda Sexy"
I own pure heroine and i think it is a lovely colour. suits fair skin tones well and has a nice texture.
Tips: line lips with a darker purple liner for real effect
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!
Tips: I would highly suggest wearing lip liner with MAC lipsticks as it helps them to last a lot longer :)
Oh my lord-My all time fav lippie of all lippies (Rebel, Sin, Angel, Teddy and Please Me to name a few of my favs!!!) You cannot go wrong with a MAc in your handbag-be careful though once you invest in one you'll need them all in your life. Just the feel of this stuff on your lips compared with other lippies is enough to have you sold!!! FIVE STARS
Tips: A MAC lippie and a MAC liner is all anybody really needs in their life :D
Lets face it, everyone loves MAC lipstick. They range of texture, the range of colours, the feel of putting it on in public with that infamous black bullet. I rarely use lipstick but if I do it is a MAC. Wear a lip liner though, just to increase the stay power.
I recently purchased my first mac lipstick after getting over have to re apply every half hour and bad quality drug store lipsticks. I am so Impressed at the staying power and quality ! I applied Mac "modesty" at 9am and didn't have to reapply till late afternoon, I also didn't get and clumping in he corners etc I would highly recommend these lipsticks since I got my first iv gone and bought more colours!
Tips: Lip liner ! Best defined finish for bright colours and stops any lipstick from bleeding etc !
I was lucky enough for a friend to purchase for me my first MAC lippie in the cult fav colour St Germain. I had MAC foundations and primers already but never seen the point in having lipsticks worth so much... until I tried it. I now have 10 shades in my collections in the past 12 months. The colours are on point, the packaging feels expensive and I love all the formulations. Lasting power does vary lippy to lippy but I can say I am hooked! They are a worth while investment
Tips: So much cheaper if you can get your hands on it from Canada or America. I have used YouPost to get it from America.
At first I couldn't quite wrap my head around the idea of spending $40 on a lipstick...until I popped into smith &caugheys; and visited the MAC counter. I was so overwhelmed by the different shades and types so I asked for help. One of the make up artists then found my perfect match which happened to be the matte shade- Diva. I love how long the shades stay on my lips, and a little goes a long way. You really don't have to slather it on for a decent colour pay off. I highly recommend their matte shades. Only issue is that the matte shades can dry out your lips. Make sure to apply lip balm or lip primer well ahead.
Tips: You can dab a little onto your lips for more of a lip stain look as opposed to a bold lip for a daytime look
