MAC lipstick is one of the best out there in my opinion! It stays on for many hours, They have so many shades available and its great being able to trade in your old products for a new lipstick with the back to MAC programme.

Tips: Apply lip balm before using it - sometimes it doesn't look that great with dry lips. Remember to keep your empty containers so you can trade in with back to MAC.
Firstly MAC make some incredible colours! there are colours that you just can't get anywhere else.. I do find though that some of the colours crack, some of the finishes are dryer take a little more work to apply where others even someone new to makeup could easily apply. Same issues you come across with most lipstick except with a $40 price tag so I only really go for MAC lippy if I absolutely love the colour and texture, I'd hate to spend that money and not wear it on a regular basis.
Mac have the best products ive ever used! I very rarely use makeup but when i do i like to look like i know what im doing, and using mac is the perfect way to do it. I love all there products inc the lippies, with a little gloss it looks fabulous.
Tips: Apply a little gloss on top, to give it that extra click.
I like MAC lipsticks. I think for the price it isn't exactly worth it. I think it really depends on the finish and colour you choose. I have a few colours that I love and some that I think were a complete waste of money. I have Ruby Woo which is drying but lasts a very long time and looks amazing! The other colours I have that I love are candy yum yum, girl about town and rebel And the smell is an added bonus
Tips: Do your research look up swatches and reviews on specific colours. Use balms with matte lipsticks. If you want to save money can order off the MAC US website and use the NZ post Youpost service please note it takes from 1-3 weeks to arrive!
I love the range of MAC lipsticks but find them not so good if I have the slightest dry lip, it tends to stick very badly to it. When my lips are soft I tend to wear this brand more
These Lipsticks are my favorite of all that I own (and thats a lot!). In general, the lipsticks come in not only a HUGE variety of colours but also finishes to suit everyones preferences and needs. My fave finish is the amplified because they are SUPER pigmented but are also nice and creamy and have awesome staying power. I also love the cremesheens and the retro mattes which last forever but aren't too drying for a matte textured lippy. Fave colours include Up the Amp, Saint Germain, Morange and Viva Glam Niki 2.
Tips: Apply a similar coloured lipliner and fill in the lips with it to give your colour even more lasting power! Exfoliate lips and apply lip balm 15mins+ before applying the lipstick for the most perfect finish.
Love the colour selection, so many shades to choose from and a good selection of finishes to choose as well. My favs are Cremesheen and Amplified finish and love Vegas Volt and Sunny Seoul for summer!
I absolutely love MAC its the only lipsticks I wear at the moment. They come in amazing colours! I have about 6 different ones at the moment that I am using on different days. I haven't found that these stain my lips like other lipsticks. Although I make sure that I put a little bit of chapstick under it so that could be why. The colours are alway true to what you see when looking at them on the stick.
Tips: I put some chapstick on underneath to prevent staining.
MACs sin lipstick is the perfect 'grunge' colour. It's a super deep berry/red that has a matte finish. This was generously gifted to me by my bff - I hadn't ever seen the shade and was delighted to try it.
It has extreme pigmentation - one swipe across my lips provides perfect opacity. As this is a matte it is a little drying but it definitely isn't the driest lipstick I have tried. Even though it's matte, it doesn't pull or skip on my lips when applying it and you can build up the colour easily enough if you wish to.
The staying time on this is around 5 hours for me with a lip liner. If I am wearing this to work I will take it with me and reapply throughout the day. Overall this is a beautiful lipstick and it is easily one of my favourites. I love it.
My boyfriend HATED when I would wear lipstick mainly because he couldn't/wouldn't kiss me in fear of him wearing the lipstick afterward, but when I tried mac's ruby-whoo we didn't have a problem. I love that it's matte, the colour is so vibrant and lasts, and it doesn't bleed (my biggest pet peeve). WE just love it!
Tips: Put a good lip liner on underneath the lipstick it will last long and not bleed!
