Mac lippies

After getting my first mac lipstick sometime ago now, I spent months not buying any other brand so deeply did I fall in love. I love the sleek packaging, the gorgeous vanilla smell, the formula, and most of all the amazing colours. The colour is strong and true and beautifully unique for all the colours I own. They are incredibly easy to apply and work with- I always use Mac for ombre or any lip style involving blending. You can do amazing things with a Mac lippie and a good lip liner! The finishes I have all last a long time, even through eating and drinking. I recommend everyone owns some mac lippies in their favourite shades as soon as possible! I love the mattes, satin and amplified finishes most of all- but it did take me a little while to get used to the dry feeling of the matte. My favourite colours are some of the most popular- Angel, (nude) Ruby Woo (red), Cyber (Very dark purple), Heroine (Bright purple), St. Germain (Pale pastel pink) and Candy Yum Yum (Bright pink).

Tips: Cyber and Heroine make for an incredible purple ombre lip if you dare:)

Matte Mac!

This is just a review for the Matte's of Mac, I personally find the duration of the lip stick lasts for 7+ hours even after eating or drinking. And leaves a slick matte finish on the lip add a bit of lip liner and it just makes the lips pop put! I love it and i will always keep using it, try guys!

Tips: Apply a soft line of lip liner (same colour as chosen lipstick) and this will help keep the colour on your lips and give it a clean line around the lips for the lipstick to be applied easily.

MAC MAC MAC

LOVE THIS BRAND! They are by far the best I have found for lippy! I love them beacuse they are beautiful lipsticks, amazing colour range, very long lasting, looks incredible for a long period of time and feels great. Colour doesnt deteriorate throughout the night and not necessary to reapply as it doesnt dry out the lips! And isnt overly expensive

Tips: Pick a range of colours to test because they all vary in colour depending on your skin tone, eyes, hair colour ask the assistants in store to help you

Well worth the money

I love Mac lipsticks, they are really pigmented, have a great colour range, last ages on your lips and do not dry my lips like other lipsticks do. Favourite colour so far is Snob, it is just the right pink for everyday wear.

My fav lipsticks!

I recently went to a red carpet event and I wanted a red lipstick that would go with my dress and also my skin tone/eyes/hair. I have never worn red as I don't know which tones suit me so I knew one of the best places to go would be MAC as I have been coloured matched for other make up there.

The MUA tried a few different colours on me as I had all my other make up on and I also took my dress in with me. She cleaned, primed and used a lip liner to fill my lips in before applying the most amazing pigmented orange toned red! I instantly loved it!

I walked away with the lip primer, lipliner to match the lipstick- and of the lipstick which was one of the matt ones. I felt like a movie star!

The lipstick wasn't drying at all and stayed on all night even after lots of bubbles and nibbles!

Was incredibly happy and I had so many compliments. This is my go to glam colour now :)

Tips: Definitely go into a store/MAC counter if you can and swatch the colour or get the MUA to put the colour on your lips. Otherwise google the colour and check out the swatches/images

AMAZING OK

I recently bought my first MAC lipstick duty free in Singapore, and it is amazing!! It doesn't dry my lips out, and I feel like I don't have to apply it numerous times before getting the colour that I want! I got MAC Red and its the perfect shade, and really long lasting! I can just put it straight on without and lip liner or anything and its really creamy and lasts for hours! IN LOVE and cannot wait to get my hands on more.

Tips: Apply a lip liner first to really ensure its long-lasting!

LOVE

Absolutely love my Mac lipsticks ! the most beautiful shades of pinks i have ever worked with ! Very pigmented lipsticks and easy application, definitely recommend !

Tips: If you are more into a glossy finish they work extremely well with a little gloss over top.

Beautiful colours

I love my MAC Lipsticks. Often they're unique colours that you don't see from other brands. They're also extremely pigmented and come out on your lips just as they are in the tube. The one criticism I have is that 'Snob' seems to run out really quickly. It applies quite thickly on my lips and I don't know how to avoid it.

Tips: Exfoliate your lips before applying as the thick formula (particularly for satin/matte finishes) will show dead skin.

Pricey but lovely

I recently succumbed to temptation and bought my first MAC lipstick: a cremesheen finish, in the shade "Hot Gossip".

This particular shade is a beautiful mid-tone pink that on me is a perfect, slightly deeper, MLBB (my lips but better) shade. It does have some shimmer, but it's in no way frosty or glittery (I really dislike those finishes), and it really just adds to the slightly glossy look when it's applied.

The formula is looooooovely: creamy, easy to apply, buildable (one swipe is an even but light coat of colour, but it can be built up very quickly to full opacity), and it smells great! I now understand why people rave about the MAC lipstick smell - it's like a subtle warm vanilla.

The lasting power is good for such a creamy formula, in my opinion. I can get about 4 hours wear before reapplying, although that is obviously less if I eat or have a coffee.

It is expensive, that is true. However, the formula and shade range is so good that I think it's worth it, particularly when you consider how expensive many 'drugstore' brand lipsticks can be - Revlon ones are up around the $30 mark sometimes, which isn't that much less than this!

To sum up: I'm already trying to think up a plausible excuse to buy another one. Shhhh....
