MAC - Twig (satin finish) AMAZING

This was my first time M.A.C lipstick purchase and I am in love! such a nice shade for all skin tones and glides on so smoothly. As it is a satin finish is isn't drying, and feels nice on the lips. It is highly complimentary on my fair skin tone and has long lasting power. Definitely worth the money.

Tips: For a more precise look, use a lip brush to create sharper edges :)

MAC - great quality lipstick!

I own many lipsticks from MAC including cherish, up the amp, candy yum yum, pink plaid, please me and girl about town. these are in a range of finishes including satin, matte and amplified. i like them all, they are worth the price. the matte finishes are very long lasting and a little drying. the satin finishes are more creamy and moisturising. there are so many amazing colours! next i want to try more nice colours such as velvet teddy.

Tips: apply, then blot with tissue and apply again for longer lasting wear.

Good, but you need lip liners always!

Great lipsticks. I have around 10 colours but find them all to be not intensely matte. Even when I bought the matte colour it made my lips dry and flakey as a posed to the photos that they say. Other then that the colour are great! But you 100% need lip liners for any lipstick in this Mac range

Tips: When using all the lip colours placing a tissue over the top of your lips and then patting on your face powder with a brush either over the tissue to create a matte look or don't even bother using a tissue and just place it straight on your lips for a better defined lip stick, also gloss works with this tip also :)

Perfect

I am not surprised that this has been voted the "best lipstick" in the Beauty Awards - MAC lipsticks are definitely my favourite.

The are long lasting and really smooth/creamy to apply. They are quite moisturising and do not have a sticky feeling - I actually forget I have lipstick on. They are tasteless and have a very faint vanillary scent.

They have a great range of colours and finishes. You can also mix MAC lipstick shades to create your own custom shade.

I wish the lipsticks weren't so expensive in NZ, but I stocked up on a recent trip to the US instead.

Tips: I highly recommend getting your makeup done by a MAC assistant as they can suggest the best shades for you.

MAC Lipstick Review

So I love Mac products (of course) and it was no surprise to me that the lipsticks are amazing. Nice colour range too choose from. The lipstick itself smells really nice (like vanilla butter in my opinion) nice creamy texture and the matte ones aren't too drying. I would however recommend a lip liner whole wearing it, just to help it last longer and also to get that perfect line (I always over draw my lips while doing looks, but please note as I am a male I don't wear lipstick all day everyday) my favourites from the lipstick range would have to be "stone, whirl, velvet teddy and girl about town" all ready nice shades.

Tips: Would definitely use a lip liner it makes such a huge difference, I always put the lipstick on first THEN use the lip liner, I find it a lot more effective.

Best Lipstick!

I've never been a huge lipstick wearer before I was gifted a M.A.C lipstick. Every other previous lipstick I tried would bleed out (with and without lip liners). My M.A.C lipstick is from the Satin range and I've never had a problem with it whatsoever! It glides on and stays put without drying out your lips and you can get a good few hours wear out of it before reapplying. Please note - I have never as of yet worn any lip liner under my M.A.C lipstick so I can say any lipstick from the Satin range is really reliable even just by itself! It's definitely worth spending the extra $$ to get a good quality lipstick in my opinion - you won't regret it!

Tips: Unless you know exactly what you're looking for, it's best to ask a trained M.A.C salesperson to help you choose the range and colour that would best suit you and your needs :)

MAC is Awesome

I started to get into lipstick not to long ago and when I used this lipstick it was amazing. It was smooth going on and it seemed to last me all day. Plus I love the variety of colors to choose from as well as the pops of colors they have.

AMAZING

I always struggle to get a super pigmented lipstick that stays on for a decent amount of time. I recently purchased just a standard Mac lipstic in the shade heroine and me being me assumed it would last a few hours out on the town so I put it in my bag go touch ups... I put about 3 Layers on before I went out and didn't have to touch it up once in the 5 hours I was out and when I got home it still looked amazing and look the same as when I applied it!!

Tips: Exfoliate your lips or use a lip peel then apply lip balm 20 mins before applying your lipstick just to ensure your lips are smooth and moisturised and not all dryer out

I so need this- I went out on the town and had to reapply multiple times- it was a very big night and when I looked at my poor lippy the next day it was so mangled! Apply and go is what I need!

LOVE! ❤️

I absolutely love MAC lippies. They are one of my favourites to use. The colour tange is Quite big and they have a lipstick for everyone. Definitely recommend these lipsticks.

Tips: The matte and retro matte finish ones are amazing. My all tome favourite is 'flat out fab' which is a retro matte finish.

Matte shades

Absolutely love the matte shades from m.a.c., I am sure the others are amazing too, I just prefer a matte finish. Super creamy application, not too drying on my lips and don't stain too badly! All in all, very happy with this product.
