Good, but you need lip liners always!

Great lipsticks. I have around 10 colours but find them all to be not intensely matte. Even when I bought the matte colour it made my lips dry and flakey as a posed to the photos that they say. Other then that the colour are great! But you 100% need lip liners for any lipstick in this Mac range

Tips: When using all the lip colours placing a tissue over the top of your lips and then patting on your face powder with a brush either over the tissue to create a matte look or don't even bother using a tissue and just place it straight on your lips for a better defined lip stick, also gloss works with this tip also :)

MAC Lipstick Review

So I love Mac products (of course) and it was no surprise to me that the lipsticks are amazing. Nice colour range too choose from. The lipstick itself smells really nice (like vanilla butter in my opinion) nice creamy texture and the matte ones aren't too drying. I would however recommend a lip liner whole wearing it, just to help it last longer and also to get that perfect line (I always over draw my lips while doing looks, but please note as I am a male I don't wear lipstick all day everyday) my favourites from the lipstick range would have to be "stone, whirl, velvet teddy and girl about town" all ready nice shades.

Tips: Would definitely use a lip liner it makes such a huge difference, I always put the lipstick on first THEN use the lip liner, I find it a lot more effective.

Perfection

I love all of MACS products but their lipsticks are amazing, I love how the matte lipsticks do not dry your lips out and is long lasting. Mac lipsticks have such a variety in shades and colours there is one for every occasion. They are perfection

The Perfect Red

As a redhead, I thought I'd never be able to find a red that looked good on me. Until I went to a mac counter and got matched. I brought Ruby Woo, a matte red which suits me perfectly, bringing out my complexion and blue eyes. It's truly long lasting, incredibly matte and pigmented, and has a pleasant vanilla smell. My only issue with this lipstick was that it seemed to "pill" creating little balls like a wool sweater, or damp paper that's been rubbed. I suppose this is probably because of it's mattness, because it's not slippery or very soft it rolls rather than slides with friction. It's easily fixed though, i just lightly wipe of the pills with a tissue before applying.

Tips: Use a lipbrush/lip pencil to outline because any mistakes are especially hard to clean up (due to it's high pigmentation)

Ruby Woo, I love yooouu

Ruby Woo? Taylor Swift's favorite lipstick?

I don't usually buy a lot of lipstick especially when they're this expensive. But then I heard a lot of great reviews about this "Ruby Woo" shade and I heard that a lot of celebrities also use it like Taylor Swift.

I went out and bought it and wore it quite a few times on evening dates and it went well with my red play-suit and red sunnies during the day on sunny days.

I LOVEEEEE THIS LIPSTICK!!! It's quality is aMaZiNg!!!! And it lasts and doesnt melt and looks great and feels great and it's like a dream come true!!!!!

But for me I think it's gonna be a bit more of a treat lipstick because of it's price. By that I mean that I won't buy it again and stick to my affordable lipsticks. So I hope it doesn't run out and I only use it on special occasions now to try save it because I know I won't be buying it again for a while.

But overall this is my high end lipstick and I LOVE IT!!!

A must

Applies really easily, nice scent/smell and longwearing. I have velvet teddy, shanghai spice and a viva glam lipstick and they have all been amazing!

In love with HoneyLove

I am addicted to nudes (the lipstick!!) and so I saw the shade Honey Love which is a matte nude and had to have it.

It's safe to say that these lipsticks are tried and tested, great products. You can purchase these assured that you're getting a good quality product.

Honey Love was pigmented, it was so creamy to apply that I second guessed it was actually matte, but alas it most certainly dried matte.

My only downside for this product was I felt as though it didn't have the longevity that I expected but it certainly wasn't something that would stop me from purchasing it over and over again!

You're in safe hands purchasing one of these lippies... go for it!

Mega MAC fan

I love the range of colours and lustres that MAC have in their lipstick range, you would never struggle to find something to suit. The mattes are my favourite but can be very drying and don't have a huge amount of staying power. I always apply a good lip balm underneath before application. My absolute favourites are Real Redhead, Ruby Woo, Diva and Doe.

Tips: If you can, buy the matching the lip liner to help with staying power.

There's just something about MAC lipsticks

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.

Obsessed!

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.
