Are they expensive? Yes, they're practically an investment, but they're worth every penny. Even a beginner could tell the difference between applying a MAC lipstick vs. a drugstore lipstick. The formulas (notice the plural, they have a few to suit everyone) are thick and creamy but long lasting. The colours are more pigmented than you could ever imagine, and the shades - I wouldn't know where to begin. A year ago I couldn't fathom the idea of spending $40 on a lipstick, but after purchasing my first they began flying into my makeup bag faster than I could process how much money I had spent. You can find good quality lippies for less, but every girl should own at least one. They are unbeatable.

Tips: Scrub your lips using a toothbrush before application to get rid of any dead skin, use a lip liner for ultra long lasting results.
Does exactly what it is supposed to. The lipstick has staying power meaning I have to reapply less. I love creme sheen with gloss over top. I actually cannot fault Mac lipsticks! They are the best!
Tips: Get lots of different colours. Experiment. Go out of your comfort zone. You will soon be hooked!
Love MAC lipsticks. Long wearing and such a gorgeous variety of colours! Love the Amplified range particularly if you are wanting something with a little pop!
Tips: Definitely use a lip pencil if using their brighter shades to ensure they look crisp and perfect!
Myth lipstick is my absolute go to nude lipstick, it is a Satin and I feel like a Greek goddess wearing it. I wear it for basically any occasion, and it suits almost all eye and face makeup you wear. I love, love, love. <3
Tips: if you want this lipstick to last a bit longer definitely use a lip liner, and I also find using a lip scrub or simply grab the nearest towel, wet it a bit and your good to go! having an exfoliated lip is always! the best start to having amazing makeup/lipstick, same goes for your face if you want that flawless smooth look. definitely BUY! so worth every penny. xx
I love MAC lipsticks my favourites being Myth and Rebel but i also hate some of them the worst ones being Pretty Please and Pervette..
The reason i say love hate is because so many colours i love not just because of the colours but because of how good textures feel and the duration of how long they last aswell. Some can be really creamy and pigmented and last as long as a stain, but i have also had the ones wear they feel wierd on my lips or transform easily and not last longer thn an hour.
I guess it just depends on Matte, Saturn, Frosty etc..
so just make sure you test them all before purchasing them because you will end up wasting quite a bit of money if you dont.
With all products their are ups and downs so be prepared. I will still say they are worth it though because some of them i just love !!
I absolutely love MAC!! They are expensive but worth the price and never fail!! They have so many shades for everyone and never fails! The consistency of the lip stick is perfect! when you apply to your lips, it has great coverage, smells like vanilla cupcakes or caramelly, and is another way of identifying REAL Mac to FAKE Mac products. The product last a long time, depending on how much you use it. (Mine lasted 8 months.) Nothing compares to MAC, and the proceeds go to a great cause. MAC is a lot more expensive than normal makeup products, but the quality is worth every penny. The packaging is amazing, I have a nice small black MAC gift bag, and the lipstick packaging is plain, but displays the shade and name of the lippy. Very authentic and the results are breath taking! I have Retro Matte lippy and its bright, bold, adds colour to my outfit, goes well with my olive skin colour and adds that extra touch to your outfit. I have sensitive skin as well, and react quite bad to a lot of products, but with this MAC lipstick, I had no reaction and am sooo happy with my purchase.
I don't have enough shades! The ones I do I love too bits. Fleshpot is my go to nude and can't go past Saint Germaine for a bit of colour. Something darker is next on my list.
Tips: Love using a great beige like fleshpot and adding just a touch of coloured gloss for something different. I always foundation my lips before adding colour.
MAC lipsticks are to die for! I love the smell and the consistency of them. The Cremesheen finish is by far my favourite, so moisturising and have a bit of a glossy finish to them. I recommend them to anyone. I would rather have a few nice colours by MAC than lots of colours by other brands
Tips: Apply, then blot with a tissue then apply another layer. I find this makes mine last a lot longer.
Totally in love with Mac Lipsticks. They are super pigmented, they last all day and are great value for money. I tend to buy more Satin / Matte / Amplified lippies because I find that I don't have to reapply as often. I don't even have to wear a liner with these! Huge fan of Mac's lipsticks. It's just such a shame when they discontinue colours.
Tips: If you find a colour that you love - Stock up on it!
MAC lipstick is really nice to apply as it has a butter like texture to it and doesn't dry up your lips like other lipsticks can. the colour stays on for hours after you first apply and the colour variety is amazing i have both nude colours and bold and i love them both.
