Worth the Price!

These are by far my favorite lipsticks of all time! The shade range is beyond amazing, there is a formula for everyone, and they are great quality…like most Mac products! My Favorite Formulas

Matte- Drying but last for ages on the lips..i'm talking around 4+ hours from personal experience. My favorite: Please Me- A super wearable pink for all skin tones.

Retro Matte- These are VERY drying, and tricky to apply, but the result is amazing and they stay on forever! Super opaque…like none other! My Favorite: Ruby Roo- A vibrant red, that I'm sure you have all heard about.

Satin- These are fairly matte but a lot less than the matte and retro matte range. This is one of the best in my opinion, as they last along time on the lips, without being to drying, and give a little bit of sheen. My Favorites: Myth- THE BEST NUDE EVER ( but very nude..be warned) Rebel- Looks great on so many people, and is by far the best deep purply, plumy color I have come across.

Amplified- These colors are super bold! Very opaque and fun, but I do not believe there are many shades in this range available. My favorite: Impassioned- A bright pink…more on the reddish side. The only vibrant pink that I love!

Amplified Creme- These are amazing! Smooth, pigmented, glossy! Don't last to long on the lips, but that is to be expected. My favorite: Vagas Volt- A great coral orange! If you like corals you will love this one!

Cremesheen- Everyone loves these... they will not fail you! Really pigmented, and glossy! Can not go wrong with these. My favorite: Creme d' nude- Really nice wearable nude, one of my everyday lip colors!

MAC Lipsticks

Honestly the best lipsticks I have tried! Slightly pricey but I don't mind treating myself every now and again! The shades are incredible, perfect for every occasion and skin tone, and its really handy that you can swatch them in store too! I own a lipstick called Neon Orange: it is a beautiful orangey/red (not actually neon). I find it does have a good staying power when on the lips, but you will have to touch up the odd time, especially after eating, drinking and talking too much (:

Can't go wrong

Can't go wrong with MAC! These lipsticks are just perfect. The packaging looks super high end and classy and just wonderful. Nothing looks as good as a lipstick holder full of MAC. and the wear, uuuh. Its hard to find matte lipsticks that dont crease or flake or dry your lips like crazy. But these are like putting cream on your lips, and its matte! and there is soooo many shades to choose.

The price, not so pretty :/

Creme de la creme

I was given a Mac lipstick for my birthday, Russian Red Matte and I love it! The packaging is nice and I love how the casing looks like a bullet. It is very pigmented, the colour is amazing a bright and I only need one coat. It is a great long wear lipstick. Next time I would probably get more of a creme formula as it is very dry on my lips. I would definitely recommend Mac lipsticks to all my friends. They make you feels special and I think they are worth the money. I can't wait to get a new one!

Tips: Use a lip liner, especially with the darker colours. I like to sometimes use a gloss over the top for a different finish

AMAZING

I love mac lipstik. The colour choices are absolutely amazing and the texture feels smooth. It always stays on for long periods of time without having to reapply all the time. i would use mac lipstick if i could every day if only they were cheaper :)

Tips: BUY IT

MAC Lipsticks

When my stepdad came back from Thailand he got he 2 mac lipsticks from Sephora. Ruby Woo and Saint Germain. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! the colours are very pigmented and lasted very long with not much need to reapply. I would buy their whole collection if it was cheaper.

Tips: If you put tissue up against your lips and brush translucent powder up against the tissue it will make the lipstick last a lot longer.

MACCCC

Every shade that i have purchased is amazingly pigmented and applies like a dream. I have had no problems except wanting more and more. They also have a lovely vanillaish scent which is not too overwhelming. I have so far collected 5 mac lipsticks in a range of formulations (cremesheen, amplified, matte, frost) and love every one of them!

Tips: Ask in store what the artist thinks will suit your complexion! They showed me ones i would have never picked up and i love them!

Only lipstick I use

i don't usually wear lipstick, but I decided to treat myself. After purchasing a mac lipstick, I can never change. It works perfectly with my lips making them look full and perfectly coloured. It also stays on for a long time, therefore not being a hassle to reapply

Tips: put a foundation over your lips first, it makes the colour pop as well as making it stay for longer
