mac lipsticks are extremely popular and after trying one i know why. they are long lasting and very moisturizing. the colour variety is excellent with colours ranging from light pinks to nudes to dark purples to reds. in my opinion this brand has the widest colour variety. there is guaranteed to be one to suit every skin colour.

Tips: Ask the mac professionals to help you pick the perfect colour for you
I absolutely love Mac lipsticks, they are my all time favourite and usually my goth lipstick, they are moisturing and the colour pay off is a 10/10,they smell soo good and have a wide range of colours. My most wonderful are velvet teddy, snob, cremecup, flamingo and rebel.
Mac Matte Lipstick in the shade 'Candy Yum Yum' is one of my all time faves! This bright pink is a stand out shade that makes your lips pop! I always get comments when I wear it and am gutted that I have now run out. This lipstick is super long wearing and withstands most occasions of eating and drinking so is perfect for a day to day look or a popping colour for a night time look.
Tips: Don't leave your lipstick in a hot place because it can melt - sad times! Make sure your lips are smooth and hydrated because this lipstick is super matte and hides nothing!
These. Are. AMAZING! Absolute favorite lipsticks. I now own 8 of these beauties. Heroine, Ruby Woo, So Chaud, Snob, Candy Yum Yum, Blankety, Rebel, and of course Velvet Teddy with a huge list of names to purchase in the near future.
These smell amazing like vanilla. The packaging is to die for and look so high end.
The matte's are my favorite. I find they last me all day at work, even through meals etc.
Snob is a perfect every day color pale pink and you definitely need this in your makeup collection.
Ruby Woo is an amazing red. It is a very dry matte, some people may find it too drying but nothing a lip balm wouldn't fix.
I love the colour Blankety but i find it's too natural on my lips for me. Velvet Teddy stands out more.
So Chaud is totally under-rated. It's an orange-red. More on the orange side. It's a great statement color but it's not too over the top.
Candy Yum-Yum is a BRIGHT pink, not for the faint-hearted but if you can rock it then, you go girrrrrrl!
Which leaves Heroine. My absolute favorite! The most amazing purple. There hasn't been a day I've worn heroine and not received a compliment on it. It's so so perfect and would wear it every day if I could.
MAC lipsticks are a bit pricey but absolutely worth it, It took me awhile to stretch out and purchase one but now I'm completely addicted. Sin is next on my list :)
Tips: Some are better wearing if used with a lip-liner but not necessary.
...until I splashed out and bought one. I own a Mac lipstick in the shade Plumful. And now I am hooked!
Plumful is a plum shade (funny that) that isn't too bright, dark or in your face. It is a great autumn shade.
I love the size and packaging of these lipsticks; they are a sleek design that fits easily into makeup storage, a handbag or a travel bag.
MAC lipsticks are amazing to wear. They glide on smoothly and feel silky when on. The colour lasts a reasonably amount of time but I still find it wears off reasonably quick (for the price) and that is the only negative of this product for me. This can be solved by reapplying throughout the day (but I'm a wee bit lazy when it comes to that).
That being said I would definitely recommend this product simply for the variety of colours available and how nicely they apply.
Tips: Use a lip scrub prior to applying for an even smoother application!
Duty free at Auckland Airport has a MAC store - a great place to buy a lipstick if you haven't tried one before as they are a wee bit cheaper!
I currently own three MAC lipsticks, fanfare, rebel and sin. I love the formulas and find they actually do last nicely, especially since I save them for going out so they are quite durable. They can be a bit pricey but I think it's totally worth it!
Tips: Take the plunge and buy one!
I only started using MAC lipsticks just under a year a go and I love them. The colour snob I love it. Its a colour that I can wearing during the day and at night. This lipstick doesn't leave my lips feeling dry or gross. The colour stays on really well. I love this colour and would buy it again and again. Its my go to lipstick.
Tips: If live in NZ by them through US store and have them shipped here through Youshop. SO much cheaper.
Ive only recently joined the Mac bandwagon. I received 2 MAC lipsticks for Christmas and I love them! I have the colours Velvet teddy in a matte finish and Angel in a frost finish. Velvet teddy is a perfect dark nude! I love wearing it on a day to day basis and I had to go out and buy another one as I know this colour is hard to come by! Angel is a perfect light pink when I feel like wearing a wee bit of colour I love the frost finish and it keeps my lips very hydrated! Can't wait to try out some more colours, the price of $40 for a lipstick is quite high but in the long run its worth it!
Tips: Buy velvet teddy if you ever come across it at a MAC store! they always sell out of this colour very quickly!
Now I'm actually not a huge fan of Mac products. I refuse to touch their foundations and have issues with their shadows. But their lipsticks are utterly amazing. A girlfriend of mine urged me to give them a chance and I've never looked back. I use Ruby Woo regularly. Its the perfect matte red. As with all mattes ensure that you scrub and moisturizer your lips properly before popping one of these on as they can be a little drying. I recently became an owner of Flat Out Fabulous which is also a retro matte but a beautiful fucisa colour. I'm looking forward to wearing this in the winter for a pop of colour. Their satin colours are pigmented and comfortable to wear. They leave a nice stain if you don't touch up. I'm not actually a fan of the smell as I prefer my lippies to be unscented but that is just personal preference. Their pigmentation and staying power makes up for the vanilla smell.
I looove the mac matte lipsticks! Velvet Teddy is my absolute favorite ("baaaa" I know I know call me a sheep but its such an amazing colour!) I love the texture, its not too drying and it smells yummy (vanilla like all mac lippys) it has great staying power. definitely my go to lippy!
Tips: Team it with a lip liner for a nice clean line!
