I am a huge MAC makeup fan in general, in the past few years I have discovered the love for their lipsticks. I have more than 10 of them in various finishes. My fave is the cremesheen formula as it is very moisturizing and pigmented. Lustre is usually sheer but moisturising too. Matte is a gorgeous finish and incredible staying power but yes, can be a bit drying at the end of the night (but still looks gorgeous!).

I have a few Mac Lipstick shades. Great pigment, but not very long lasting (the ones I have anyway). I love the smell of Mac Lipsticks as well! They smell like caramel :). The best thing is the fact that they have such a huge variety of colours.
The selection of M.A.C lipsticks is so huge, that there is easily a shade to fit everyone. I do love my lipsticks from them but I do find that it really depends on the finish.
Tips: Some of the matt finishes are a bit drying on the lips, so I use a bit of moisturiser on my lips beforehand before using them. Kinda Sexy - perfect natural lip shade.
I have five or six of these bad boys, all of them are so rich in colour, they STAY looking good for a long time. I recommend getting the creme sheen for a moisturous perfect pout! Blankety is my fave colour
Tips: Mix shades of the same type to get a perfect colour.
By far my favorite brand of lipstick I own over 30 :) Pigmentation and staying power is great, And also MAC provides an amazing variety of colors to suit every bodies needs.
Tips: Exfoliate lips before hand and use a lip pencil on darker colors as they tend to bleed.
I have tried so many dupe colours in cheaper brands that are the same colour as Mac Snob, but I find that nothing can beat the real thing. I would definitely recommend the MAC lipsticks, they last so long and the colours are really one of a kind.
I only recently got into mac lipstick and i love them although they are on the pricey-er end i think they are amazing quality and well worth the money. I have 5 in varying formulas and my favourite would probably be lustres although cremesheens are amazing for a little bit more pigmentations and staying power. They are also amazingly pigmented, and if you want your lipstick to pack a little extra punch i would definitely go for and amplified cremesheen as they are extra pigmented.
Tips: Make sure your lips are well moisturised before hand, and use a lip scrub if you have extra dry lips.
I don't know what it is, but there is just something so appealing about MAC lipsticks. Is it the brand? The packaging? The color range? The quality? For me I think it's a mixture of these things. When I buy MAC I know I am receiving a product which is loved world-wide and there's something so securing in that fact. The color range is one of my favorite things, and probably the worst thing.. as there is just too much to chose from! The Matte range is truly matte, the glaze, a glittery glaze, you actually get exactly what is advertised. My only con with MAC lipsticks is I find they don't have the best staying power, but in saying that, they are such a nice creamy consistency that I don't mind having to re-apply.
Tips: Prep your lips properly so that the lip stick is as long lasting as possible. Exfoliate, moisturize and line. For extra stay power, apply and let set, then hold a tissue over your lips while applying a finishing powder gently over your lips.
I am a big MAC fan. I dont know if its the "forbidden fruit" appeal, as it is so difficult to get in the South Island, or if it's because its what all the girls use in the make up tutorials on youtube but I LOVE my MAC lippy. I only have two, Ruby Woo and Impassioned (which I wear as often as possible) but I dearly love them. The only downside about the Ruby Woo is because it is a Matte finish it can be incredibly drying on my lips. But the pigments are amazing, they stay put on my lips and the colours are to die for. Get yourself a MAC ASAP!
Tips: Make sure your lips are super hydrated before wearing a Matte lippy, and maybe save it for a dinner or a night out where you arent wearing it for hours and hours because I find it can sometimes become a bit crumbly and really dry but this might just be on my lips! Give them a good exfoliate regularly too!
AMAZING I LOVE THESE. There are by far the best lipsticks i have every used and i have a lot of lipsticks. I am kind of addicted to these are my collection is growing quickly but I find my self using all of them. The colour range and texture of these lipsticks are great and they have one the suit everyone.
Tips: These lipsticks are on the pricey side unfortunately. Around $40NZ I believe. My recommendation is if you are traveling overseas grab your hands on them over there and any other MAC products you can find them for much cheaper. Also do back to MAC if you collect 6 empty MAC containers and bring them back to MAC you receive a FREE lipstick!
