Good lippy

This is great lippy. It really stays on with minimal reapplying. Only con is its price. I love lots of colours and with these I am limited to only a couple as they are so expensive! Otherwise great though

Tips: Buy the lip liner to go with it as the dark colours will bleed!!

It would depend on your preference. My fave is hang up which is super dark burgundy type colour (it matches my hair ;) )

Orange is the new pink?

I got a shade that is not an everyday colour for me as its orange, having said that, it applies well and stays on nicely and doesn't dry my lips out so i like it

Sinner.

MACs sin lipstick is the perfect 'grunge' colour. It's a super deep berry/red that has a matte finish. This was generously gifted to me by my bff - I hadn't ever seen the shade and was delighted to try it.

It has extreme pigmentation - one swipe across my lips provides perfect opacity. As this is a matte it is a little drying but it definitely isn't the driest lipstick I have tried. Even though it's matte, it doesn't pull or skip on my lips when applying it and you can build up the colour easily enough if you wish to.

The staying time on this is around 5 hours for me with a lip liner. If I am wearing this to work I will take it with me and reapply throughout the day. Overall this is a beautiful lipstick and it is easily one of my favourites. I love it.

Best of the bunch

I absolutely love MAC its the only lipsticks I wear at the moment. They come in amazing colours! I have about 6 different ones at the moment that I am using on different days. I haven't found that these stain my lips like other lipsticks. Although I make sure that I put a little bit of chapstick under it so that could be why. The colours are alway true to what you see when looking at them on the stick.

Tips: I put some chapstick on underneath to prevent staining.

Holy Grail Lipsticks!

These Lipsticks are my favorite of all that I own (and thats a lot!). In general, the lipsticks come in not only a HUGE variety of colours but also finishes to suit everyones preferences and needs. My fave finish is the amplified because they are SUPER pigmented but are also nice and creamy and have awesome staying power. I also love the cremesheens and the retro mattes which last forever but aren't too drying for a matte textured lippy. Fave colours include Up the Amp, Saint Germain, Morange and Viva Glam Niki 2.

Tips: Apply a similar coloured lipliner and fill in the lips with it to give your colour even more lasting power! Exfoliate lips and apply lip balm 15mins+ before applying the lipstick for the most perfect finish.

MAC lips

I love the range of MAC lipsticks but find them not so good if I have the slightest dry lip, it tends to stick very badly to it. When my lips are soft I tend to wear this brand more

I have found similar problems with drier lips - they aren't very moisturising imo

Depends what colour and finishes you like

I like MAC lipsticks. I think for the price it isn't exactly worth it. I think it really depends on the finish and colour you choose. I have a few colours that I love and some that I think were a complete waste of money. I have Ruby Woo which is drying but lasts a very long time and looks amazing! The other colours I have that I love are candy yum yum, girl about town and rebel And the smell is an added bonus

Tips: Do your research look up swatches and reviews on specific colours. Use balms with matte lipsticks. If you want to save money can order off the MAC US website and use the NZ post Youpost service please note it takes from 1-3 weeks to arrive!

There is no other lip stick, like a mac stick!

Mac have the best products ive ever used! I very rarely use makeup but when i do i like to look like i know what im doing, and using mac is the perfect way to do it. I love all there products inc the lippies, with a little gloss it looks fabulous.

Tips: Apply a little gloss on top, to give it that extra click.
