I have recently become a proud owner of a MAC lipstick. Yes its taken me a while as the price of them has put me off but after seeing eveyone rave about them and learning about the color Craving I knew I had to try at least one.
The color is amazing but the lipstick is so buttery it feels amazing on my lips. The staying power isn't bad but I had hoped it would last a little bit longer but it is so mositurising on my lips I can't expect it to.
Can't wait to get a few more as theres more colors jumping out to me each time I look.
My first ever MAC lipstick was in the shade Fanfare and I fell in love with it. It was a cremesheen and it was easy to apply and the shade was ideal for everyday wear. Since then my collection has grown a fair few. I now own 5 MAC lipsticks and because of their huge range of shades and formulas it seems that I never fail to find a new shade to take home when I'm at the MAC store. Personally my favourite formula is the Cremesheen range simply because of the ease with which they apply and how easy they are to work with. That being said however, I do also own a Matte formula - Pink Plaid, and 2 Amplified Creme formulas - Up The Amp and Girl About Town. They are beautiful lipsticks to use and I would recommend them to all of my friends!
Tips: Always prep lips before applying a lipstick by using a lip balm or lip scrub to aid staying power of the lipsticks. Using a lip liner increases the longevity of the lipstick and helps to create a crisp edge. When applying a matte shade (which can be more difficult); prep lips with a lip balm to provide extra moisture for the matte formula to soak up before it starts on your lips - this will help it to look better for longer; matte lipsticks dry out so warm up the end on the back of your hand for smoother lip application; keep lips moisturized throughout the day to help keep the matte finish looking its best. Hope some of these things help!
