ok so im going to the mall in a few days and i will be going to the M.A.C store. what i want to know is what is the best
~foundation
~powder
~eyeshadow
please give me the full name and i Will check out the website for more info. oh and please don't tell me its too expensive, i shouldn't buy it, etc. its my money and i need new makeup.
thanks so much! :)What are the BEST M.A.C products?
Foundation: I like the Studio Fix Powder plus foundation (great if you need a lot of coverage). Its a cream to powder foundation. I also like Studio sculpt foundation with spf 15. Its medium coverage and I like it just as much as the studio fix.
Powder: I always buy the Select Sheer loose powder but it comes pressed too. I dont always buy my powder from MAC and you might want to think before you buy it because there are plenty of drugstore brands that measure up to MACs (just sayin) The powder that I do always buy from MAC is the Mineralized Skin Finish love love LOVE it and Im sure you will too. Check it out.
Eyeshadow is all on you babe. MAC has the best eyeshadows Ive ever tried but only you know what colors you like to wear. Good nuetral colors include: Smoke and Diamonds, Style Snob, Mulch, really there are too many for me to name. Youll get to see all the colors when you go.
Have fun!What are the BEST M.A.C products?
the best mac products i think are their eye shadows, mascara (this is good but cover girl lash blast works about the same), eyeliner and studio fix concealer. i haven't tried this but a lot of people love the mineralize skin finish too. foundation is something you can skip if you have acne prone skin. :)
The best foundation would be the studio fix fluid foundation
The best powder would the mineralize skinfinish natural
The best eyeshadow for a mac cosmetics starter would be a few very natural colors:
- Naked Lunch
- Rice Paper
- Brule
- Cork
- Satin Taupe
- Woodwinked
I hope this helps!
they have the best eye shadow there's soooo many gorgeous colors and such, they also have great cream blush that looks soooo good on, i wasnt a huge fan of their foundation, i thought it was too light but if you like light go for it.

alright, for eyeshadow, you have, IMO, two ways to go...first there's the simple eyeshadows...if you want the 'refill' ones (the ones that are just the eyeshadow themselves, and not the casing as well), then invest in a palette. A 4-slot palette will do for now, and the eyeshadows are cheaper when they aren't in their own cases, a good $3 or so cheaper. Second is Pigments...I can't stress enough how much I love pigments to death. Use them wet, and they're amazingly pigmented; use them dry and they're perfect for everyday use! PLUS, depending on the color, you can use these pigments on more than just your eyes! It can be used in body spray, highlighter for the cheeks, blush, lip color when mixed with gloss, etc! The possiblities are endless! Just remember to read the instructions inside the pigment box to see which colors can't be used on certain body parts!
Also, the Mineralized Eyeshadow Duo is GREAT (I have it in Sea %26amp; Sky)...it's incredibly pigmented, and the colors are incredible. If you want a base for your eyeshadows, the cream color bases they sell are great too...Rubenesque is the most popular color for that, since it goes with every skin-tone. DON'T FORGET about brushes! A great brush can even make $2 eyeshadows look good, so if you don't have them already, get some! lol I suggest the 239 and 217 brushes.
For powder, I suggest 2 items, depending on what you want out of it. Mineralize Skinfinish NATURAL is good for the whole face, like a traditional powder, and it has a natural-looking matte finish. Mineralize Skinfinish (that's the whole name) is a couple dollars more, but they are great for highlighting and adding some sheer sparkle onto your face. It isn't obnoxious sparkle, either. It's gentle, and that's good!
Foundation, with this, I suggest Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15, or Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation. They both give amazing coverage, and they have a great finish to them. I don't have too many of these, but from what I've tried, these two are the way to go. If you don't want a liquid foundation, try a different one, like the Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. It's POWDER, yes, but it's actually foundation. Look it up on the site...it says it too! haha
I hope this helped! Remember what I said about brushes if you didn't know that already! I hope you have fun shopping! I always have fun shopping there!

LOL I love how [鈾unk]Loves MAC says if there is one you need to be over 18 and she's a ';makeup artist'; what does she use drug store on clients?
I'm a certified MUA also and I have a MAC pro app. I always just use the 50$ I save up on more makeup so I never submit it.
you don't have to be over 18. As long as you have references/a picture id.
it costs 50$ but you get a 40% discount on everything.
Go to your local mac store and ask for a application or call customer service (:

Can M.A.C. send free samples to my house?
I would like to get some M.A.C. foundation and i was wondering if i could get a free sample so i can try it, for 2 or 3 days...?
Thanks!Can M.A.C. send free samples to my house?
If you actually go to a MAC Cosmetic counter, they have all the samples of their makeup you could ever want to try. (Foundations, powder, eyeliners, lipglosses, etc.) They are exceptionally nice and will help you pick out what is best for you. If you are not satisfied with your product, you can return it for a complete refund. (Even if it's opened and used) As far as I know, they don't send samples to your house.Can M.A.C. send free samples to my house?
hmm i havent heard of MAC? Have you checked out http://www.sampleaday.com ? They have a TON of free samples with no surveys or pay offers to complete. I really like their site and get a ton of random samples in my mailbox every day. You can also sign up for their email subscription so that you can get the freebie offers sent to your inbox but that is not required. They have something like 2300+ subscribers so I guess they must be doing something right.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the site!

Is M.A.C a very expensive brand of makeup?
i just wanted to know. is it like a really well known makeup brand?Is M.A.C a very expensive brand of makeup?
It is the MOTHER PLANET of ALL makeup!!Is M.A.C a very expensive brand of makeup?
It is a well known makeup brand.
It is expensive to some, not expensive to others.
I use M.A.C products, and it is worth the price.
Eye shadows individually are about 13 dollars.
foundation can range from 20 to 30.
Lip gloss is about 14.
blah blah blah.
Anyway, it does all add up to a high cost at the end.
Last week, I bought 3 eye shadows, and got them in a pallet. I also bought lip gloss, although i think they call it lip glass there, i forgot. That all added up to around 60 dollars, so it is pricey.
Mac has awesome eye-colors.
They're pretty expensive.
I would NOT waste your time buying the foundations, however. It is made for the camera's. I.e., bright flashes and hard lights.
Its good coverage however it cakes up VERY easily. It lasts all day and clogs your pores in the process. Its terrible, terrible stuff for your skin. Wearing it every day would probably be worse for your skin than sleeping in a tanning bed every night.
If you don't mind pancake make up or easily caked make up then invest in their foundations.
They're other products however are very very nice. They're colors are more than worth the price.
not expensive in regards to other makeup brands that are on the ';higher end';. I'm honestly not a very big fan of theirs though. Yes, they do have some nice colours in eyeshadows, but I do find that some of my drug store makeup which costs less than half the price of one eyeshadow single at MAC applies easier and has the same quality of coverage and colour, if a bit better. I find that MAC is more difficult to apply evenly, although the colour is bright which I like. Would say that MAC is a brand that you get as a christmas present, and not a brand that you spend your own money on.
I prefer going to Sephora. I only buy a few of the brands there, which would be Makeup For Ever (basically like the good version of MAC. Their makeup won't cake, the eyeshadows I think so have more than the MAC ones, there are more variations in colour and the coverage is so nice and blends/applies with ease), Sisheido, Urban Decay and Smashbox. A lot of the brands at sephora can be found at places like The Bay or I guess American department stores, and even at drug stores (I can buy smashbox makeup at shoppers drug mart).
So if you are looking for a makeup store that has a lot of variety and that sells some nicer makeup for aroudnt he same amount, try Sephora.
Also, the girls at sephora actually know how to wear their makeup, unlike all the girls I've seen at every MAC store I've ever been to (ie at MAC they wear too much black eyeliner, cake mascara on, and cake foudnation on. Not really wanting to buy makeup from people who do not even wear the makeup well lol)
Its extremely well known, and slightly expensive, but it all depends on what you compare it to. Compared to drugstore makeup, its pricy. But next to other department store brands, its on the lesser end. Still, its my favorite; it wears really well, the colors are great, and i have never bought something that i didn't think was worth the extra money.
while it is pricier than the make-up you can buy in the cosmetics department at, say, Target, it's a better in the end because at MAC, you can have a MAC professional help you determine your shade of make-up and which products are best for your skin type so you aren't messing around with make-up that's wrong for your face. having the help of a professional is key to having natural-looking make-up.
Its not that bad of pricing. It lasts all day long. I think it is worth it if you are going to buy something for the price it should be worth it. And MAC is worth it. They have so many options and the people that are there to help you go through school so they can give you the right information if you have questions. They are very helpful and my experiences have been very good. As far as well known. A lot of people use it. Beauty schools, movies, models. It is very well known for its quality.
MAC is a good quality brand, you can just stop in one of their stores and try it out. I like their eye shadows a lot, but wasn't impressed with the foundation or mascara. I guess it just depends on what you like! The store lets you try most anything before you purchase it, so you won't feel bad about shelling out the $$$.
really well known. it was made for the camera to say.
delivers excellent coverage. not as expensive as other brands but its up there.
brushes are excellent quality which is why many people use them.
overall its worth it.
yes its known. in fact i just bought some a couple of hours ago. it depends how much money you wish to spend on makeup. like a lot of the make-up in sephora is more expensive so ya.
it depends on what you call expensive..
buy it in moderation if your not willing to
spend $12+$12+$12+$12.....
they give you excellent coverage!
its worth it(:
Yes, if your not so passionate about cosmetics and not willing to spend so much $$. But most of their products are really good! Its worth a try
It is a very known brand
it is kind of expensive, but it works great
and has great converage
it's a very well known brand and is moderately priced.loan

Is it cheaper to buy M.A.C. cosmetics in Australia or Philippines?
Going overseas soon, is it worth it?
%26amp; i heard they have copy-cats.
If it is a copy-cat, how can i tell?Is it cheaper to buy M.A.C. cosmetics in Australia or Philippines?
Philippines defiantly.Is it cheaper to buy M.A.C. cosmetics in Australia or Philippines?
FAKE Mac is never sold in MAC sotres, so if you don't want a fake, go into real MAC stores.
All MAC is worth the same, and are priced the same, but in different currencies.

How many of you DON'T use M.A.C products?
How many women out there use cosmetics other than M.A.C?How many of you DON'T use M.A.C products?
ME!!! I shop the sales at Meijer and Walgreen. You wouldn't believe the size of my makeup collection and for well under $100. I have 11 blushes and 1 bronzer, 4 mascaras, about 35 lip colors, and with eyeshadows? If I counted each individual color, I have probably 250 colors. I usually buy quads or I also have the 8 palettes from Wet n Wild that have 8 colors in each one. I wouldn't trade my collection for the world....even for MAC.How many of you DON'T use M.A.C products?
I don't. There isn't a store around me to buy it at, and it's way too expensive. I stick to buying cheaper stuff from Target and Wal-Mart, it works fine for me. I don't see the point in buying such expensive makeup, it's just not worth it.
I pick my favourit across the offer - foundations from more expensive brands, pencils from really cheap, mascaras from L'Oreal etc. Bourjois rocks for blushers and liners.
However, MAC to me is winner in eyeshadow colours!
Me..it's way to thick..I feel like I'm wearing a mask of make-up though that is the face make-up..I do use Expresso in eyeshadow for my eyebrows..and Prism for my cheeks..
i dont use mac makeup and I'm a make up junkie!!! i love Ester Lauder foundation %26amp; Concealar but everything else is from different brands.
I don't use M.A.C., I use Mary Kay.
I ONLY use it for the ';runway';. It is much too heavy for daily use. It will clog pores and can cause breakouts. Plus it just feels heavy!
me....
i only use the banana boat lip balm, maybelline shinylicious and revlon lip gloss...
i don't use MAC or any brands that are on the hype. as long as i have a good quality lip gloss in my hand...then i'll be happy!
I don't use mac.

Where can i get m.a.c makeup samples?
i have seen some companies online that try to get you to try their products ofering mac makeup , but i dont want to do it that way, any ideas, where else???Where can i get m.a.c makeup samples?
you can go to the mac store and ask them for some. like me and my mom went to the mac store yesterday and she wanted to know what color foundation would look goo don her. they put some on her face and then gave her a little container telling her to use this for a week and see how it does. she brung it home and tried it to see if it look right. because they have bright lights in the store we went to and she wanted to see how her makeup looked in non bright lights. but yea i hope that i helped :DWhere can i get m.a.c makeup samples?
Any department store at your local mall, will most likely carry these products. I would most likely visit Saks fith Avenue or Macys. I got my make up done for prom there and they used mac foundation and eye shadow on me. So I would assume they would give samples away.
go to a department store cosmetic counter, and ask if they have any mac samples. I dont think they have any sites online though, srry hun.
hope i helped!! =)
go to nordies and ask for them
