Stick to their lipsticks and eyeshadows. Their brushes are awesome but very pricy and you can definitely find good equivilants for much less. Their nailpolish is cool but too pricy for the quality. I also like their pencils, but again you can find dupes for much cheaper. So, yeah. Lipsticks and eyeshadows, GO! :)
If you like gel liner's, I'd recommend Fluidline in Blacktrack. It's my favorite. Also, their lipsticks are truly amazing, and I love the mineralize skin finish.
MAC is known for their variety of colors and products. I would recommend to book an appointment if your already going to shop for products. Explain to the artist what type of colors/look your going for. That way you can try the products out before purchasing.
MAC's shadows are vibrant, studio fix powder or fluid is one of the top selling foundations.
"Best" is subjective and what I tell people who ask me to recommend them products is first to find out what that person likes. So what do YOU like?
I had the pleasure of talking to Keri B (a MAC Pro Artist) at IMATS and she showed me their latest lip and eye shadow palette. That's right folks they're releasing two gorgeous palettes (you can see the two palettes on the MAC Pro site http://www.maccosmetics.com/macpro/...
What is it that you like and you don't like? Are you looking for foundation? Mascara? Eyeliners? Lipliners? Lip gloss? Lipstick? Eyeshadows?
Hey Livvy, I'd go for staples to start with and then branch out in more adventourous colours etc. A lipstick, eyeshadow or blush are a good start they are really pigmented and last for ages ! Here's my recommendations,
Lipsticks - Ethier Angel or Hue,
Eyeshadows - All that Glitters, Brule, Dazzlelight
Blush - Dame, Buff or Well Dressed
Hope that helps, enjoy your mac trip!
Livvy...let the addiction begin! Their lipsticks are amazing and smell like vanilla...their eyeshadows are equally amazing! I can't recommend just one item...just have a fun and pick out what works best for you!
MAC has great eyeshadows. Of course you can get eyeshadows that are just as good from other places, but in my opinion, MAC is the most consistent with the shimmery and glittery shadows. Lipsticks are also a good idea because of the large colour and formula selection. Three of my personal favourite products from MAC that I always repurchase are:
Mineralize Skin Finish Natural (best setting powder ever)
Mineralize Skin Finish - Soft and Gentle (fave highlighter)
Paint Pot - Indianwood (great eyeshadow base or cream shadow)
I hope this was helpful to you, have fun shopping!!!
MAC eyeshadows are the best! (in my opinion of coarse) I would defiantly recommend buying the eye primer along with the shadows you choose. The primer works as a base to keep the color vibrant and last throughout the day. MAC salespeople are always very helpful and will help you chose the best color pallet for your skin type and color.
All there eyeshadow. The limited addition nicki manaj lipstick sorry i dont know how you spell her name but its a beautiful color. I wear it about everyday and when I am doing clients they ask for that color. And the fix+ are my top mac products
So far I only continuously buy their eyeshadows. Their eyeshadows are amazing! I have crystal avalanche for highlighting my brow bone and cinderfella (under the mineralized family) and I love them. ^-^
Love the Ruby Woo lipstick. 217 & 219 brushes are great. I would stay away from mascaras. There are also better blushes else where. Paint pots work well as eyeshadow bases. They have nice eyeliners too. Eyeshadows are pretty good as well.
I recently went for the first time and i bought an eyelines in the color "teddy", loved it! Its kind of a brown and cooper mix but its not that shinny so i recomend you to take a look at their eyeliner colors, and thay last al night long!!!!
#217 blending brush is a dream. Perfect for blending eye colors on lids. Stay away from the nail colors and mascara...total waste of money. The lipsticks are great along with the glosses.
