I have several MAC lipsticks (Sin, Viva Glam Miley Cyrus, Snob, Pure Zen, Rebel and Sandy B) and have never been let down. Each lipstick gives a great colour payoff. I find my darker shades (Sin, Miley and Rebel) stain my lips so the colour never wears off just fades and still looks good. I find sometimes shades like snob and sandy b are quite drying but nothing lip balm can't fix. My only gripe is the price $40 is quite expensive however the quality and colour pay off makes it worth it. I definitely recommend to check them out.

Tips: Use lip balm before hand to ensure they aren't drying
Gorgeous, sleek packaging, good quality I love the formulation of the lipsticks, so opaque and easy to glide on, very moisturising and don't crack on your lips (even the matte ones) the mattes are one of my favourite as they stay on for a really long time so you don't need to worry about reapplying especially with the darker colours :) they are a little pricey but I definitely recommend getting one, easy to apply and stay within the lines with a normal amount of product in the tube :) such a nice vanilla smell too!
I now own 3 Mac lipsticks in the shade violetta , heroine and Russian red , all the colours are super pigmented and last longer than other high end make up brands , I wore violetta to a wedding and didn't touch up all night and by the time I got home was still just as good as when I applied so if you're looking for a long wear colour Mac lipsticks are something I would highly recommend
Tips: With the bold colours like reds and purples the colours bleed so using a matching liner helps to keep lines clean
I just love this brand, their lipstick are amazing. Not only they have a wide range of colour selection but it also moisturise. Last for a very long time which is a big thumbs up.
I own two colours; vegas vault and peaches (something?) Enjoy using this product as it really gives a strong colour that lasts. Will buy again when I run out.
I bought my first mac lipstic the other day in the shade viva glam 2. It is a nude shade and looked really good on my compelxion, the aplication is very smooth and pigmented. I got a lip pencil to go with the lipstick so its long wearing and doesnt transfer when i eat which is a first for any lipsticks i own. Im very happy with the quality for the price and look forward to buying more shades
Tips: Use a lip pencil underneath for extra long wear
Moisturise lips before applying if using a matte finish lipstick to stop your lips from from drying.
Easy review! My first lipstick is Mac's lady bug which is a red and in their lustre range. great pigmentation, decent lasting power, Fab colour would be a staple red for all year round. Perfect product to spend a little extra money on :)
I have a few Mac lipsticks and all of them are great. My most used lippy colour would be "Heroine" made famous by our very own Lorde which is a bright violet purple, it easily vamps up any make up look. I've found the application to be quite creamy but dries matte.
I've always thought the price of Mac lipsticks are a bit of a stretch for what they are as I use Jordana lipsticks just as much for a fifth of the price but in saying that I love the variety of different shades that Mac offers.
Wow, my first Mac lipstick, infact my first Mac product ever, to be honest I am taken in a bit with the hype of Mac products. I am expecting something good on this.
The colour I picked was St Germain, this is a amplified crème lipstick in pale pastel pink. When I opened the packet I was a little down I thought I had picked a fushcia/magenta colour, never mind these things happen and I have other clothes that this will go with. The lipstick tube is a black bullet shape with a brushed metal band and "MAC" written at the base of the lid in silver, a basic elegance was the aim I am thinking and highly identifible. The lip stick goes on cleanly when applied and feels instantly soft on the lips. The lipstick has a vanilla scent to it that sticks around, much like the colour as well. On the days that I wear it I only reapply twice, lunchtime and before I leave work and there is still plenty of colour still on my lips at that point. The mistake colour has become my favourite for statement lips in the short time I have had it. It has a moisturising feel to the lipstick that hits as it is being applied to the lips.
If price was not an option I would be buying a few more of these with no issue but I will stick to finding a few colours that I will wear on a regular basis to get, I won't be buying colours that I only wear once or twice.
Tips: St Germain shows on white disposable coffee cup lids as a fluro pink but it sticks tight to your lips.
I must have been living under a rock before i tried Mac lipsticks and is now safe to say i am fully converted. With a great range of different finishes and so many colours to choose from and a stunning mix of cool and warm tones every girl will find a colour they love. the stunning colours last all day, smell amazing and are non-drying. Highly recommend.
Tips: A good lipliner makes a world of difference
