I'm a Clinique junkie but have heard so many wonderful things about MAC that I'm debating switching my makeup over and just keeping the Clinique skin routine. I also know that they are owned by the same company but I rarely see anyone rave about any Clinique make up. Which do you prefer/use and why?

I don't like either when it comes to foundation. But I can't wear Clinique lip products because for some crazy reason it makes my lips break out with these crazy lil bumps. Lipstick,balm,lipgloss...all give me the same reaction. Though I do love the mascaras when they are gifted to me. Eyeshadows have never worked on me (zero pigmentation on my skin) and same with the blushes (they oxidize something fierce on my skin). There are some definite hit and miss products for me personally when it comes to Clinique. Now with MAC.....similar situation. I love their lippies...no issues...some formulas are more drying than others but overall I get great pigmentation with them and I'm never having to struggle to make them work. Foundations.....cystic acne and turns me into a pumpkin regardless of the formula or shade. Its just not for me. I've had some success with the blushes and eyeshadows....though over the years some of my fave shades have changed (carbon eyeshadow used to have a creamy texture and was super black...now its dry and you really gotta work with it) .Mascaras are an epic failure so I don't bother with those. Basically, as I stated earlier every line has hits and misses. What doesn't work for me might work great on you. Why not just incorporated MAC into your current rotation instead so you could have the best of both worlds? I love Bobbi Brown but I also found love for many other brands. Variety is the spice of life. :)
