I do think a lot of the Mac products are over priced for what they are. However I love the look of the packaging. The fact that there's no Mac counter near where I live makes it a bit more desirable to me. I've picked up a few Mac bits over the years as treats. Most of them were planned purchases when I knew I'll be near a counter and want to pick up something.


For me their two stand out products are 2 lipsticks: Girl About Town and Brave. Love the colours and the formula.


Was disappointed with a few products. Their lip liners are nothing special for the high price. I bought the bronzer Give Me Sun and it swatched beautifully at the counter but when I tried it when I got home it was too dark.
I also picked up the limited edition Juicy Fruity palette and was disappointed with it - it's tiny, the colours swatch lovely but I just can't do a good look with them on my lids.

I used to absolutely love the Mattene range of lipsticks but they have been discontinued

Can't live without Mac studio fix foundation. The day they stop making that I'll have to remain indoors.
Pro longwear concealer.
Studio fix powder.
Have a gazillion of their eyeshadows but tend not to reach for them, tbh.
My fav lippies are Syrup and Politely Pink

Love syrup lipstick to! It's what I would wear for day!!
Like face and body and then prolong wear for night out! Dont love them tho they can sometimes fail me!!

Another plus 1 for Syrup lipstick. I should have included it in my previous post but felt it was a bit boring cos my description of it is an ideal day time office work lipstick.

Another fan of the Studio Fix foundation. It just makes my skin look great. And the liquid lipstick Feels So Grand is so good that when I wear it, I don't even feel like my clothes matter.

I love face and body, the mineral foundation and studio careblend setting powder is great, I also really love the times 9 palettes and the pro longwear concealer which lasts ages. I must have bought that little pot 2 years ago and i've still got loads left. I like their lipsticks, theyre a cult classic at this stage but they dont make the list as nothing compares to Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks imo.

Mehr lipstick, Edge to Edge lipliner and Coffee eyeliner. The only MAC products I have repeatedly repurchased. I don't know what I'd do if they were ever discontinued!

I wish I liked mac but it's just not for me
Their foundations are either too cakey or else they break me out,their powders break me out, the lipsticks are just ok on me... I just wasn't wowed and I wish I was cause so many people look amazing using mac products.

I use the fix+ spray everyday and I use their strobe cream too. But they're not the sexiest of products lol

Studio Fix fluid has been my holy grail foundation for about 8-9 years. I also love the Studio Finish (for blemishes) and Select Cover Up (for under eye) concealers. I really like the Give Me Sun Mineralise Skin Finish for contouring. Lipstick wise, Mehr is my go to, but I'm also partial to Pink Pigeon, Creme Cup and I've worn Whirl lipliner pretty much every day since I got it.
A recent new love for me is the Extra Dimension blushes, they're amazing! I currently have "just a pinch" but I'm definitely going to stock up on a few more.
The only MAC product I hate is their mascaras. Every one I've tried has made my eyes water beyond belief.

I have that too and can only use it when I have a lot of tan on! Their MSFN face powders work great though as bronzers, I use medium plus when I'm very pale and medium dark for normal days, really love the stuff

Vegas Volt is my all time favourite lipstick! Even with just minimal make up it transforms a look. I would seriously recommend it to any redheads/strawberry blonds who might be apprehensive about trying and orange based lipstick, it's so fab!

Studio Fix Foundation! I've worked in the cosmetic industry in the past and used loads of foundations, but I have always returned to this. I love that it responds really well to other products, you can add highlighters or moisturisers to it to change its consistency and it doesn't alter the quality. I think their foundations only suit some skin types though. Also Whirl and Velvet Teddy lipsticks, Spirit lipliner and my absolute favourite, Strobe Cream

I do love their warm palette for eye shadows. It's my go-to for a natural look. And I love they're finally doing palettes after years of having customers create their own (and spend more $$$).
