What are the BEST M.A.C products?

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!

Is there a specific age limit for a M.A.C. Pro card?

I want to apply for a M.A.C. Pro card but I'm younger than 18. I'm a certified MUA and I have a business card. Do I have to be over 18 to be eligible?Is there a specific age limit for a M.A.C. Pro card?

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 (:
If there is one it's 18

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.

  • 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.


    ♥.
    I don't use MAC products
    me! CVS makeup works the same in my opinion..
    i don't use them

    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

    The best M.A.C eye liner / kohl that will stay on for long where was put and wont smudge or give 'panda' eyes

    Hi guys Im a bit confused what eyeliner to get? Im looking for a pencil one (not gel, etc.) I need it to be long lasting and smudge-proof. Im thinking about getting the Technakohl Liner. is it a good one or does M.A.C have something better than this one? please help, thanks much :)The best M.A.C eye liner / kohl that will stay on for long where was put and wont smudge or give 'panda' eyes
    i prefer powerpoint pencil by MAC.... you can make the tip sharper but technakohl's tip will not be as sharp as the first using since its automatic.... but really it differ from someone to someone... some'll say technakohl last better while the other will say powerpoint.... it depends on your skin type... whether your eyelids are dry or oily...The best M.A.C eye liner / kohl that will stay on for long where was put and wont smudge or give 'panda' eyes
    sounds strange but ive always used a lipstick liner brush and black eye shadow, instead of eyeliner, really works and doesn't smudge, wet the brush first then put a little eyeshadow on it and draw under you eye, works a treat and its easyer to apply than hard pencil eyeliner
    kohl is always the best!

    Why was an average M.A.C. product more expensive at a CCO?

    My friend called the CCO near us to see how much they were selling the M.A.C. studio sculpt concealer for, and the woman said $19.75. On the M.A.C. website it says studio sculpt concealer is $16.50. Why would they make it MORE expensive at the CCO?Why was an average M.A.C. product more expensive at a CCO?
    are you on the canadian/US border?





    CCO is usually 20-30% off the regular MAC place so the prices she gave sound a little off. CCO is difficult, so it's hard to find the product u are looking for. really, you just have to go there and be happy with what you find bc you never know what you'll find





    MAC concealers are very reasonable priced and don't cost more than 15-16$ US or 20$ canadian

    Hmmm which kind of make up do u perfer M.A.C OR CLiNiQUE?

    Okay just want some opinions on what make up u perfer. I use MAC studio fix foundation but i think its way too cakey now idk i have a friend who i work with %26amp; he make up always looks so fresh and pretty and she says she uses clinique...so which do u perfer i dont need alot of coverage just need it to even out my skin tone...Hmmm which kind of make up do u perfer M.A.C OR CLiNiQUE?
    I don't really like Clinique because it feels like it dries out my skin, but I definitely know what you're talking about with the Studio Fix. Maybe you can try the new Studio Sculpt (it feels lighter) or the Face and Body which is lighter and more sheer. Good luck!Hmmm which kind of make up do u perfer M.A.C OR CLiNiQUE?
    best way to achieve success with ur skin is to use suitable products . u get results by continuous maintenance. to get immediate results u should go for clinical treatments like laser, etc but the result of that is not permanent. u should recur it. best method is use of Natural products (like fruits, flowers,) which gives late results but permanent.
    Personally, I think MAC is better for eye make up, such as eyeshadows/pigments, whilst Clinique is better for foundation and concealors. I have heard such great things about Clinique; apparently it's really light and makes the skin look really natural.
    i use clinique for my skin b/c i tend to break out easier and i found that by using clinique i minimize my breakout


    so i prefer clinique





    answer mine please:


    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?鈥?/a>
    Clinque, M.A.C tends to clog your pores because its so oily, and clinique is pretty good with minimizing break outs because i use it for my skin as well.
    Oh, MAC for sure. Their selection is a lot larger, and for the most part more colorful and fun. I always order from MAC online. Always.
    I use MAC for eye and lip makeup, and Max Factor for foundation and concealer.
    I like MAC much better, in my opinion Clinique sucks but it depends on your skin type.
    mac! mac! mac! mac! mac! mac! mac! but i also like clinique but mac is better! it gives you that flawless look!
    definately mac
    M.A.C
    neither, i look good without make up

    Does M.A.C makeup work good?

    Yes, it works ';good';. It really isn't that expensive, especially compared to Chanel or Makeup Forever.Does M.A.C makeup work good?
    Oh yes there very good! I got some of theire eye shadows, and they work great!Does M.A.C makeup work good?
    yeah its awsome if you have the money for a 30 dollor blush brush but hey whatever if i could spend the money on it i totally would... personally i really like max factor their eyeliner is the best and goes on perfect colors are awsome and their mascara is great!! yay
    it is one of the best and worth the money
    Yes it is one of the best. Its expensive but worth it
    Pretty good...but I prefer Bare Minerals.
    yes! mac studio fix is the best! and so are the lustureglass lipglosses!
    yeah ive heard its good, i dont actually use mac myself but one day i might try it.
    I think MAC makeup works great, I use the foundation and powder and they work for my skin is very oil, I'm so happy I finally found a product that works for my skin, and if you want to get MAC makeup at a low price I suggest you try ebay.
    yeah its one of the best
    i didnt like it!


    i used the fixed studios powder foundation and i felt like i had a mask on and it left my face looking powdery BUT everyone has there own taste.


    i love clinique their foundation is great VERY i mean VERY light weight it feels liek your not wearing makeup.but i found my perfect shade with loreal true match it truely matches your skin tone i love it and im happy with it especially b/c its not pricy and it works great
    I love MAC makeup, in fact... I'm an addict.





    It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it.
    yeah pretty good

    Fake M.A.C. make up on eBay, what can i do?

    I just received a package containing M.A.C. eyeshadows from ebay and they are fake, seller has 100% good feedback , some of it from eyeshadows so i thought it would be ok. im not sure what i should do now, is there a way i can get my money back?Fake M.A.C. make up on eBay, what can i do?
    dont bother contacting the buyer,if they are selling fakes ,report them to ebay then report them to mac giving them there ebay user name and they will get them suspended ,also contact paypal and lodge a complaint item not has described the buyer will refund you because if they dont and it goes to aclaim there account is held until sorted do it now or copy and paste ebayer user and i will do it for you ,us good ebayers have had enough of these fake sellers they give us bad namesFake M.A.C. make up on eBay, what can i do?
    Lodge a dispute with Paypal under fake goods
    If you paid by paypal then you can claim the money back through them and report the seller. I'd also contact the seller first and tell them about the fakes and they may offer you your money back.
    If you have paid via Paypal then log a dispute right away under Fake Goods they will be able to sort the matter out for you, this happened to me with a handbag and to log a dispute puts a stop to these sellers being able to sell fake goods on ebay
    would contact the seller and even if they refund report them to ebay - how many others have they ripped off or about to rip off?
    report it stright away to ebay, they should then refund you and bann the seller hope you get your money back you could also ring M.A.C there number should be on the web somewhere and let them know that some one is selling conterfeits of their product they may send you a gift pack as a thankyou or may ask you to send off the fakes and they will replace then so they can investigate. And don't leave bad feed back until after you have reported it to ebay if you haven't already as they may remove themselves to stop getting caught!


    hope this helps
    stop being a cheap idiot and go get some from the mall
    do you deal with payapl..I would contact payapl and put a claim in for refund with paypal...or better still go staright into a dispute with paypal over this..don't believe 100% feedback..I know of a site where pple were advertising to give positive feeback for cash...
    Contact Paypal and lodge a dispute about fake goods
    I would contact the buyer first and try and come to a mutual agreement. If the seller will not refund you then a would make a complaint to ebay. I wouldnt hole any hope that it will get sorted anytime this year though. I bought some tickets off there last May and they never arrived. I am still waiting for an upadte from the police and my refund nearly a year on
    I cant believe they are faking MAC make-up now!


    I would contact the seller and see if they will offer you a refund, if they refuse then log a case file through ebay.


    I bought a radley purse from there at xmas, I could just tell it was fake even though they had all pos feedback- I contacted them and they got quite funny at first threatening to sue me or some crap, anyhow I threatened to log a case and they refunded me.


    Give it a go!
    Contact the seller and let her know what you think (are you 100% sure they are fake?) and that you're not happy with your purchase and you would like a refund. If she's not interested them I would wait and start a dispute with PayPal (if thats how you paid) and of course you can leave negative feedback which will put a dent in her 100% feedback.

    I want to buy some MAC lashes but I want some that will look natural, what do you/have you used?Need help from M.A.C users, lash advise?
    My favourite MAC lashes are the Lash 20. They are a half lash so they really only build up volume on the outer corners. They are extremely natural and wearable.

    I had 3 interviews with m.a.c cosmetics after the third, said they have a hiring freeze?

    After my third interview I was told they would get back to me wihthin a week. A week went by and I called and was told they were still interviewing for two more weeks . Two weeks went by and I called and the CM said they had a hiring freeze. Should I just move on?I had 3 interviews with m.a.c cosmetics after the third, said they have a hiring freeze?
    I've been told the same thing after trying to get a job with them. They didn't hire me or anyone else. A lot of the time the store that the MAC counter is in decides that there are enough employees there. I've also been told that MAC limits the number of makeup artists at a counter depending on the size and popularity of the store it's in.





    I'm sure it was nothing against you. They seem to be a difficult company to work for in some places though!I had 3 interviews with m.a.c cosmetics after the third, said they have a hiring freeze?
    Of course. Hiring freeze = they're not currently hiring. Look for another position at another cosmetics company.

    Can i get m.a.c products at macy's with gift card?

    ok, so i got a gift card for macy's, and i was wondering if i could get m.a.c products(at those little mac counters) at macys with the macy's gift card?Can i get m.a.c products at macy's with gift card?
    I'm sure you can.


    I know i have in the past.


    You should have no problem.Can i get m.a.c products at macy's with gift card?
    I am not sure they sell mac at Macy. Check there website, if they do then you can use the gift card for sure.

    Where can you get cheaper M.A.C cosmetics?

    Has anyone tried M.A.C's new mineral loose powder foundation?

    I want to try it but I don't know if it causes breakouts!Has anyone tried M.A.C's new mineral loose powder foundation?
    it doesn't I personaly like it normaly I hate powder foundation but I really like this.

    What foundation do you think works better?M.A.C or Bare Minerals?

    I simply will chose MAC over Bare Minerals.


    MAC has every color under the rainbow and more and MAC covers a wide range of skin tones and the makeup will actually show up!





    With Bare Minerals/Bare Escentuals the big ';Bismuth oxycholoride'; issue I can't take. Living here in the humid South that bismuth burns like hell. The only time I can where the stuff is usually Fall/Winter not during the Spring/Summer months. I will say this plus for Bare Minerals , if I have a zit it does clear it up by dabbing powder each night until the zit is gone.





    So to each his/her own on this issue.What foundation do you think works better?M.A.C or Bare Minerals?
    MAC is a high concentrate brand that covers up tremendous faults in skin and highlights areas that need to be accentuated. MAC is used for stage makeup and has outrageous colors to choose from. when i worked there i did make overs on men who were drag queens and had to cover of five oclock shadows. since it is a high concentrate and very thick it will last all day. just make sure you get the right one for your skin type. Bare Minerals is very messy. my friend invested in the whole line and complains that since it is all powder its messy all over the bathroom counter. she has alot of vellus hair on her face, (little baby hairs) and powder will set on the hair instead of cover the skin and that is common when using powders anytime. so if you are looking to cover up and last all day then MAC and if you are looking for a light coverage that you may have to touch up through the day the Bare Minerals. My favorite out of all the makeup counters is Estee Lauders makeup for full coverage oily skin, but all their foundations are long lasting. MAC has more eyeshadow colors and lipsticks to choose from than anyone.What foundation do you think works better?M.A.C or Bare Minerals?
    Only women with bare minerals!
    Bare Minerals has turned my skin around.





    I liked the basic kit so much that I bought all of the kits and I am totally hooked.





    If you buy the starter kit at Sephora - and for ANY reason - you don't like it - Sephora will take it back and give you a full refund. So its totally worth trying at least !!





    If you decide to try it - you are making one wise decision. I wish I could have ALL the money back that I WASTED on other make up so I can buy more Bare Minerals!





    I also want to add that many of the name brands are coming out with their own versions of Mineral make up now and they are just NOT the same. Bare Minerals was the first and the best. I tried 2 other mineral make ups before I came to Bare Minerals and they did not do the trick at all.





    Bare Minerals is WORTH EVERY PENNY you spend - life changing make up.
    Bare Minerals. M.A.C has so many awesome products, but their foundation is thick and heavy. In many cases, it causes breakouts...Bare Minerals comes in fun kits with brushes and everything, and it makes your skin feel naked and light. I love it because it doesn't dry it out and it doesn't make you feel itchy, kinda like M.A.C foundation. :)
    Can't speak for M.A.C but I love Bare Minerals and don't think I'll ever use another foundation.
    m.a.c.
    it really depends on what you prefer and your budget. Personally i think MAC is slightly more pricey and there's alot of trial and error with the foundations, with bare minerals you can mix and match and its easier to choose because there's not much of a variety
    Ultima Glotion is the bomb.


    Try that.
    bare minerals!
    If you are going for coverage MAC, if you have good skin and don't need to cover anything bare minerals is great. Just depends on what your needs are.

  • M.A.C, Makeupforever,Chanel,or Smashbox for full coverage?

    Which cosmetic brand do you think the best for full coverage and photograph ?M.A.C, Makeupforever,Chanel,or Smashbox for full coverage?
    MakeUp Forever or Chanel!M.A.C, Makeupforever,Chanel,or Smashbox for full coverage?
    Smashbox is good that compiny has a product that is a primer. put that on !st then use their foundation.
    I think it would be between M.A.C. Cosmetics and Chanel, but I have tried MANY brands of make-up and by far M.A.C. if the best I've used so far.





    Hope I Helped!! =]
    Lancome, not an option I know but I prefer it.

    M.A.C. cosmetics, discontinued but looking for something similar?

    I LOVE M.A.C. cosmetics and they've discontinued a lipstick that I miss. It was called ';Bubbles'; and was a shimmery, almost white lipstick. I used to pair it with their ';Plum'; lip liner.





    Well my question is if anyone knows of a similar lipstick to Bubbles or if MAC is currently carrying anything like it or will ever carry it again?





    I've also heard of companies who can replicate discontinued products if you can provide them with a sample. Has anyone heard of these or where I could find these companies?





    Thanks! :-)M.A.C. cosmetics, discontinued but looking for something similar?
    you're in luckkk ! :D


    mac is coming out with a collection called ';sugar sweet';


    and ';bubbles'; happens to be a repromote lipstick !


    the collection comes out March 19th, 2009.


    stock up(:M.A.C. cosmetics, discontinued but looking for something similar?
    I am a MAC addict as well. There is a new lip collection out called ';The Cream Collection'; that consists of lipsticks and glosses. They are so creamy, rich, and highly glossy. They all kinda have the white base to it. Although, I am not familiar with the ';Plum'; lip liner you like, I do know there is a lipstick called ';lavendar whip'; and a lip gloss called ';ever so rich.'; They are both purplish, plum that you might like.





    Have you looked at the Beauty Outlet? They always carry discontinued MAC stuff.
    M.A.C. carries a lipstick called '; Tanarama';. The Finish is the same as bubbles was...They both have a Frost finish. Tanarama is a pale beige with gold shimmer. Its probably the closest thing that M.A.C. carries. Go to the M.A.C site and poke around the lipstick page...it's very helpful.
    Well, I shop at mac and found the same problem. You could try Lancome or Clinique.





    Also there is Bare Minerals which is an all natural beauty line.





    Maybe you should try another lipstick at MAC and see if you like it.





    Best of luck.
    yes, Three Custom Color can dupe stuff





    alternative color: myth ???

    What 3 M.A.C products would you recommend?

    Im going to New York in the summer and im gonna buy a lot of new makeup so which 3 mac products would you say are the best? Also do they sell M.A.C in Seporha? If not where abouts do they sell it on 5th avenue or near there thank you xxxxxWhat 3 M.A.C products would you recommend?
    I think that MAC concealers are some of the best on the market. I would highly recommend you try their studio finish concealer. the NW shades are perfect for hiding under-eye circles, and the coverage is amazing. I could not love without these.





    MAC eye-shadows are great also. the texture is lovely, and the pigmentation is wonderful. they have a great range of colors and finishes to choose from.





    I also love MAC fix +. I use it sometimes before I apply my makeup to give it extra staying power, or after I finish to make my skin look more dewy, or on areas where my makeup looks a bit cakey. you can also use it as a mixing medium to apply eye-shadows or pigments wet, or you could use it as a toner. it even helps to refresh the skin in the summer. this product is so multifunctional, and I think it's quite unique and worth purchasing.





    I was going to leave it at those three, but really i can't pick the top MAC products and not at least mention their outstanding quality brushes





    MAC cannot be bought from sephora. it is sold at counters in department stores, as well as in freestanding MAC stores.


    on 5th avenue there are MAC counters in saks and henri bendel as well as one freestanding MAC store.What 3 M.A.C products would you recommend?
    Mac Studio Sculpt Concealer


    Any Mac Dazzle Glass (I love Goldy rocks and smile)


    Mac Power Point Eye Pencil in Engraved(black) or Stubborn Brown *(brown)





    No they do not sell it in a sephora. They sell it at various places (that have counters) or a mac Store. Sorry but I do not know where on 5th Avenue they sell it because i don't live in New York
    All Mac products are good.





    I love their Prep%26amp;Prime powder - if you are oily on your face.





    Their stippling brushes (187) to apply foundation - gives an airbrush finish.





    Eyeshadow blending brushes are a must have - 224 is my favourite.





    Eyeshadows and blushes are of good quality so just pick colours you like and would wear - tempting - carbon - wedge - woodwinked - satin taupe - bisque - embark and brown down are probably the ones I wear most often. I like my browns!
    I really like the eyeshadows. I know they don't have Mac in Sephora but in the Mall of America in Minnesota. The Mac is like two stores down from Sephora. I don't know if that's just an accident but it could be the same there.
    MAC Studio Fix because you can use this as a powder and foundation


    MAC Pigments


    these last forever!


    MAC Studio Finish Concealer
    Yes, they sell MAC at Sephora.





    1. Zoom Lash Mascara


    2. Fluidline eyeliner


    3. Lip gelee lip gloss
    I love the concealer and eyeshadow, those are the only two M.A.C products I've used to far though.. I've heard the mascara is really good too.
    any of the eyeshadows


    they are amazing, they last forever and the colors are very intense :]

    Is the M.A.C Hello Kitty collection worth buying? I jsut want like ONE lipstick and ONE lipgloss?

    but since I loss my job, I should be penny pitching... it's only $30, and I will be expecting 2 more checks in the mail... should I buy only one lipstick, lipglass, or buy one of each?





    and what are u going to buy from there%26gt;Is the M.A.C Hello Kitty collection worth buying? I jsut want like ONE lipstick and ONE lipgloss?
    If you lost your job i don't recommend it...i would say buy one thing that you know will last you.





    personally i use more lipstick than gloss so the gloss always lasts longer for me, so if i were u id buy the gloss.Is the M.A.C Hello Kitty collection worth buying? I jsut want like ONE lipstick and ONE lipgloss?
    Usually you can find dupes from the LE stuff in the permanent line, so if you sit this collection out and try to find some similar shades in the permanent line, the only thing you'll really miss out on is the packaging (which is cute and all, but not worth $30). If you just lost your job, it probably isn't a good idea to spend money on makeup, at least until you're 100% positive you've got another job lined up.





    I didn't see anything that I absolutely couldn't live without, so I'll probably sit this collection out too. The Kitty Couture stuff is really cute, but not worth $90. I think I might try to go back and pick up the BBR stuff that I wasn't sure if I needed or not. Those MSFs are gorgeous.
    you really shouldnt..... i still have my job but the economy is so shtty its hard to spend money on stuff like that

    Where could I find a mac store, (where I could buy M.A.C makeup/cosmetics)?

    I think I saw one in the Erin Mills town center...but I'm not shure! do they have one in the Erin Mills town center? if not, is their any other mac stores in Mississauga?





    Thanks!Where could I find a mac store, (where I could buy M.A.C makeup/cosmetics)?
    you can try buying from maccosmetics.com or most major department stores sell it. Like Dillards or Saks.Where could I find a mac store, (where I could buy M.A.C makeup/cosmetics)?

    I think you used to be able to get some of it through Sephora.com You could try that. they have some cool stuff.

    I'm a C-cup. Do I need to wear a bra with...?

    32-34 C. I have a cami with a built in bra which is basically just an extra piece of cloth with an elastic band. If I was planning on wearing this tank to school, do I need a bra? I've worn it before with a bra underneath, but, I'm not sure if it was necessary. I've never worn anything without a bra since I started wearing them, so should I start?I'm a C-cup. Do I need to wear a bra with...?
    if you are a C-cup you do really need to wear a bra with any thing. i would probably wear some sort of strapless bra underneath the cami you are talking about. the cami unfortunately just does not have enough support for a C cup gal with just the shelf bra. I only wear mine without a bra if I am sleeping in it.I'm a C-cup. Do I need to wear a bra with...?
    Yes, I would definitely wear a bra.


    Though camis have shelf bras in them, they are definitely meant more for girls/women with smaller boobs.


    With a C cup, I think it's necessary and would look a lot nicer to wear a bra with it. Even a strapless, maybe, so the straps don't show.
    If it's not a nice built in bra, then you should wear one, and by the description, it doesn't sound like a good built in! I would try it all on together and see how it looks and feels before school so you can decide.
    After always wearing a bra why would you all of a sudden wonder if u shouldnt? doesnt make sense..yes wear one especially to school..im a DDD so not wearing one would be very noticeable and i have enough attention on these already
    wear a bra. you don't want everyone to see your nipples. embarassingggg...
    Bra? yes...I've got 3 words for you... Cold Weather Indicators
    yeah you need a bra cause your nips will show. always always wear one! shelf bras are USELESS IMO. i'm a 34b

  • Is M.A.C better or Yves Saint Lauren for EYE MAKEOVER?

    The thing is, It's my birthday party this saturday. I want to have a professional makeover, and have booked two appointments - M.A.C and YSL. I'm going to YSL for the applying of foundation, etc. (as m.a.c was too busy) but which one should i go to for my EYE MAKEOVER?!


    i've never experienced either..Is M.A.C better or Yves Saint Lauren for EYE MAKEOVER?
    M.A.C has some of the most highly pigmented eyeshadows out there with the except of theatrical brand makeups. Because they are highly pigmented, the colors are bright and true! They are sheer when you apply them and the color you see is the color you get! You can't go wrong!





    Happy Early Birthday! :)Is M.A.C better or Yves Saint Lauren for EYE MAKEOVER?
    Extra Virgin Olive oil. Yes sounds gross and smells bad, but is cheap and works well.


    Here:


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc-8onVA5Jk%26amp;feature=channel_page
    i love M.A.C. so i would definitely choose them. Their makeup is of very good quality
    MAC :)





    their eyeshadows are THEE best, they last forever!





    xo

    Which are the top 5 m.a.c. products.I have a gift card and i dont know what to get.?

    Also i need a smudgeproof eyeliner.I tried m.a.c and even though they dont smudge as much as most eyeliners i have tried..they STILL smudge.Any other suggestions from exprience are welcomed.Thanks.Which are the top 5 m.a.c. products.I have a gift card and i dont know what to get.?
    Lucky you!





    Well, if I were to pick 5, they would be (in no particular order):





    1) A pigment - these pots last for absolutely ages, come in the most fantastic shades %26amp; most can be used on eyes, lips, cheeks, etc.





    http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>





    2) A shadestick. I have Sharskin (charcoal grey) %26amp; Beige-ing (beige), two of the most universal colours for using as a base to any shadow. I always use a layer of this on primed eyelids, then add whatever shadow I want %26amp; it really brings up their colour.





    http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>








    3) Liquidlast Liner - I know you said you'd tried one %26amp; it still smudged, but this one really doesn't smudge. Comes in loads of great shades (I love Blue Herizon) %26amp; easy to apply.





    http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>





    4) 190 Brush - this is the best foundation brush I've ever used %26amp; makes my foundation go on perfectly. Couldn't live without it.





    http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>





    5) Strobe Cream - this is just fab. Great to wear over a tan in the summer, it gives the most amazing sheen to your skin %26amp; will make you look really healthy.





    http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>











    Whatever you end up buying...have fun :)Which are the top 5 m.a.c. products.I have a gift card and i dont know what to get.?
    1. Studiofix/studiotech, really great foundation


    2. Concealer, good colour selection


    3. Lipgloss, they have different kinds but all have long staying power.


    I basically like most of their product so for the rest I'd probably try the new stuff like the primers and the makeup remover or get yet another lipstick/blusher/eyeshadow/eye kohl etc.





    If you can get brushes with your certificate I would definitely get them. They're pricey but last forever. My MAC brushes are at least 10 years old if not more and still just as good as new.





    Oh and the powerpoint eyeliner are really good. try that too.
    Go to a stand alone store and get a palette and eyeshadow refills - saves you $$. Or get paint pots, fluidlines and pigments. I would wait until next Thursday when the new Naughty Nauticals collection is released, it has some very pretty products!





    As for liner, the best is Urban Decay 27/7 liners at Sephora ... they last all day, much better than MAC or Make Up For Ever. Also get the Urban Decay Primer Potion and put it on your lids and lower lash line to make sure your makeup won't smudge or smear all day. I love that stuff!
    Here are my top 5-





    1. Eyeshadow! The color choices are amazing. I'm personally in love with Heatherette trio 2 and the moment.


    2. Shadestick. Everyone goes on and on about UDPP, but I still think Shadesticks are the best eyeshadow bases ever. I use Shimmersand for warm colors and Silverbleu for cools.


    3. Powder blush. My favorite is Springsheen. It's a nice goldish pink that works with all skintones.


    4. Studio Touchup Stick. My favorite concealer ever.


    5. Plushglass. Very shiny and feminine gloss.
    Okay, for the eyeliner definitely get MAC Powerpoint it won't budge trust me and it comes in some great shades. MAC Studiofix is amazing. They have great concealers. Zoom lash is great cheap mascara. Their eye shadows rock. Hope this helps. Seriously get the the MAC powerpoint eyeliner you will love it.
    fix + spray cause it sets ur makeup and is really good for ur skin, a Pigment because it's multipurpose, so you can use it for other things not just eyeshadow, u can even put a little vanilla pigment into your fix + spray to give your face a glowing look. A Paint Pot or Shadestick to go under your eyeshadow. An Eyeshadow cause they are really good and pigmented. Plushlash Mascara.
    eyeshadow is good, concealer, maybe a primer...I like the perfume as well
    get eyeshadow! mac eyeshadow is my life

    Has anyone had a M.A.C. makoever or know any details about it?

    I was thinking about getting an M.A.C. makeover and bringing 4 of my friends. What do they do? Just makeup?Has anyone had a M.A.C. makoever or know any details about it?
    well yeah they do your makeup. MAC isn't a hair salon. to get it done, you have to buy 50$ worth of makeup. i would make an appointment with them so they are focused on you, cause if you do a walk it and a customer comes, they have to leave you and go to them.Has anyone had a M.A.C. makoever or know any details about it?
    Oh it is soo fun. You don't have to buy at least 50 dollars of make up. You tell them what make up you want on aand they do it.
    I would suggest you set appointments for all of you all, so that there is no waiting.... I've gotten at leat 4 make-overs and have never had to buy a product, but I do, because they always look so amazing!!! But, this may just depend on your area (I'm in Texas). Just make sure you go in with a clean face and some ideas on how you would want your make-up to look!





    Have fun!

    Who uses M.A.C. products other than the Lip Glass, and how do u like it?

    any make up line is good...you just have to try some different kinds and see how they interact with you.Who uses M.A.C. products other than the Lip Glass, and how do u like it?
    The best answer in no way answers her question about MAC Cosmetic products and users experience with them. Thumbs down. Report Abuse

    I do, its AMAZING, I'm kinda punky and the new liquid eyeliner in blue, purple and pink are SO funky
    I would go with mac eyeshadows then go get the rest of youre products at estee lauder!they rock.and use origins for all face care.
    Pretty much everything I wear is MAC. I love it. Their eyeshadows go on very smoothly, their foundation covers really well (without looking cakey), their lipsticks last forever, MAC rocks. The best part is that if you save up 6 of your containers, you can get a free lipstick too. I don't use their mascara (I'm stuck on Maybeline Great Lash) but the rest is amazing. The best part about MAC is that they have little trick makeup things, like a primer to put under your eyeshadow to make it stay on longer and primer that you put on under your foundation to reduce the apperance of your pores. I'm sure that other high end makeup lines have that, but MAC gives back to the environment and charities, so that makes you feel like you're doing something too when you buy from them.





    I would suggest investing some money in their brushes and applicators too. They really do help with the application process - just be sure you take good care of them. I've had some of mine for years and years and they still work just as well as the first day.
    bare minerals or also called bare essentials
    Girl, I LOVE Mac, they have some of the best eyeshadows and lipsticks in a lot of colors. I would recommend them to anyone! If you want to look good, get MAC!
    i swear by mac products. to me there eye shadow range is to die for the colurs are vibrant fresh and funky and i love being in style. there blush is also cute with very sparkly shadesand ther foundation has great coverage and lasting power.... christina aguilera and pamela anderson love the make up line so i suppose it cant be all bad
    Love their eyeshadow.
    I LOVE MAC products. I use the eyeshadows, compact, liquid foundation, eyeliner, lipliner, I even have the full brush set. But my favorite MAC product is the mascara, you can't beat MAC mascara!! I LOVE IT!
    you can use whatever you want. Clinique has a great line
    I use the eyeshadow, Shadesticks, Paint, Powerpoint eye pencil, liquid liner, Lipglass, Lipgelee and Lipstick. It's all great, MAC is one of the best cosmetic companies out there.
    I LOVE M.A.C. They have great eyeshadows. I also love the lipstick and liners. It's a bit more pricey then what you'll get at a store, but it's worth it.
    Mac eye shadows are great. They go on smooth %26amp; awsome colors.
    I'm in love with MAC products! If you check my answers to several other questions in the makeup category I highly recommend MAC products and even list several of my favorites. I've been buying MAC products consistently for years now, and find the quality, selection, value, and to-the-minute-fashionable collections incomparable - no line, department store or drugstore, can beat MAC in those areas. The only other lines I'll occasionally buy from are NARS, Urban Decay, and Shu Uemura. But as great as those lines are, they still can't ';overall'; beat MAC's products for the attributes I listed above.





    The products are also superior in blendability and quality of ingredients. My skin has looked so much better, makeup or no makeup, since I've totally stopped using cheap drugstore brands. Everything MAC makes applies so easily - from the way the eyeliners just glide across your lids without tugging, to the way the foundations smooth and blend without leaving any streaks.





    Also, the stuff lasts! I've tried too many cheaper brands in the past, spent a decent amount of time to apply my makeup perfectly in the morning only to have everything fade by mid-afternoon, sometimes even by lunchtime! When you properly apply MAC foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, etc., it's still going to be there, still looking good at the end of the day. When I used to wear cheaper brands I would have to touch my makeup up so many times throughout the day. Not only was it annoying and inconvenient, I also ended up with a lot more product ';gunked up'; on my face at the end of the day than needed. MAC products may be more expensive, but you use less to get the same color payoff and you have to touch up a lot less frequently. So it may seem like you're spending more money, but in many cases you save money because an eyeshadow, blush or foundation from MAC is going to last so much longer than a cheaper drugstore equivalent, because you don't need to use so much each time you use it.





    I use or have used pretty much all of their products at some point, except the blushcreams, just because I'm not a fan of cream blush. Here's a list of my most recommended MAC products, and just for the record I'm light skinned (currently tan) with combination skin. I have black (dyed) hair and blue eyes. I don't have many breakouts anymore (I'm 26), but I do still have some oiliness in my t-zone. Now on to my favs list!





    1. Foundation - Studio Fix powder foundation is my favorite. It applies like a powder (because it is a powder) but still covers like a liquid or cream foundation. It's also very easy to control the level of coverage desired.


    2. Powder - Blot powder is awesome! I always carry a compact with me but they have a loose version as well. Just a light dusting over your oily areas keeps you shine free for hours.


    3. Concealer - all the concealers MAC makes are good, I actually use two different kinds. I use Select Moisturecover for my under eye area and Studio Stick for any areas on my face that need extra coverage. Being younger and probably having much better skin that I do, you probably only need one concealer. Go with Studio Stick.


    4. Blush - Sheertone Shimmer Powder Blushes are my favorite. Peachykeen %26amp; Plum Foolery are my staples, but I have multiple others for more selective looks. But you can use either Peachykeen or Plum Foolery with just about any look.


    5. Eyeshadow - the Veluxe Pearls are my favorite! There's 24 different Veluxe Pearl shades and they're all amazing - gorgeous shimmery metallic color. Other favorite MAC shadows are Vex, Naked Lunch, Shroom and Nylon - all lighter colors used for highlighting the browbone or for a sheer all over eye wash (from lashline to browbone) when you're going for a lighter look.


    6. Eyeliners - Eye Kohls are great, Hyacinth, Phone Number and Teddy are my favorites. The Powerpoints are good too, but the Eye Kohls are easier to work with and have a little more shimmer. I wouldn't recommend the liquid liners until you are really experienced with liquid liner and can be really steady with your hand. In that case I say go buy a cheap black liner and practice, practice, practice, but don't wear it outside of the house until you can really apply it smoothly. Otherwise it never looks right. But once you master the technique MAC's Fluidlines are Liquidlast liners are great. The Fluidlines last (on your eyes) forever!


    7. Mascara - Fibre Rich Lash in All Black is my favorite for super lush lashes.


    8. Lipstick - I don't wear lipstick as often as I do Lipglass, and most of the MAC lipsticks I have are from the Back to MAC program. With Back to MAC you can turn in 6 empty MAC containers and you get to pick out any of their lipsticks (except the Viva Glams and the new promo collection lipsticks) for free! I've gotten quite a few lipsticks that way. Basically any main packaging (the plastic eyeshadow and blush containers, old foundation compacts or bottles, the empty lipstick tube, the old mascara tube, etc) will count for Back to MAC. But anyway the lipsticks I do have are great. Lipstick is such a personal thing and there are so many colors out there, but as far as quality of MAC lipstick goes it's excellent.


    9. Lipliner - MAC lipliners are awesome. The Cremesticks are especially nice and smooth to apply but the regular pencil liners are great too. They all apply very smoothly, the colors wear very evenly and never get clumpy. I don't use lipliner for everyday, but I do have quite a few for special occasions or when I want a more defined lip look. But I think you can still get away with just Lipglass on its own.


    10. Lipglass - love it! The Lustreglasses are amazing as well! Favorite Lipglasses are Viva Glam V, Enchantress, and Nymphette. I also have several favorites that came from the limited edition collections. Favorite Lustreglasses are Spring Bean and Palatial. They go on a LOT sheerer than they look in the tube.


    11. Brushes - Excellent. I can't live without 187, 217, 219, and 222. I own many others but those are the ones that are really unique and give amazing results that can't compare to any other brushes I've found. The other brushes are excellent too. I would suggest waiting until Christmas time and picking up one of the special holiday brush sets MAC comes out with then, they usually have all of the essentials and are much cheaper than buying the same brushes individually. Also on Friday (this Friday July 14) for its annual summer anniversary Nordstrom will come out with two different limited edition brush sets similar to the holiday sets. You can check them out at www.nordstrom.com as well as the rest of the limited edition collection that goes with the brushes. If you have a Nordstrom nearby or can order them online, I would highly suggest picking up those sets if you can!


    12. Primers - MAC's work well (I have the face and eye primer), but I don't find myself using them on a daily basis. This is one area where another brand's product is superior - Urban Decay's Potion eyeshadow primer is a necessity if you want to wear some of the brighter more intense colors such as most of MAC's Veluxe Pearls. Even for younger women I highly suggest this product. It makes eyeshadow colors so much more vivid and last an amazingly long time.





    On last thing I want to mention about MAC face products - foundation, powders, and concealers. They come in several color categories, mostly categorized as NW or NC. This can be very confusing when you first start buying their products. Normally you associate W with ';warm'; and C with ';cool'; but it's kind of the opposite with MAC as they go with the traditional color wheel when it comes to labeling their face makeup colors. Anyway to save a lengthy explanation let me just highly suggest that you always go with NC products. These have more of a yellow base which is much more flattering to any skin color than a pink base, which is what the NW products have. This is also pretty much the only area I would advise going against what a MAC artist will tell you to buy - I suggest only buying NC products, never an NW product. They may tell you to go with an NW for your concealer and an NC for your foundation, but I highly suggest choosing all of your MAC face products in the NC category, but of course choose the right depth of color. They have super light to super dark and every depth in between in both categories, but trust me - NC is going to be more flattering no matter whether you are light, medium or dark skinned.





    And there you go! I love MAC products and find the majority to be amazing. Even if you are younger and on a budget I would still suggest picking up some MAC products whenever you can, especially the products you find yourself using on a daily basis, and like I said the foundations %26amp; eyeshadows are incomparably amazing! I highly suggest checking out MAC's website www.maccosmetics.com.

    IF YOU ORDER @ mac.com WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE THE PRODUCTS IF YOU WANTED TO AT A M.A.C STORE?

    bye the way nice jugs

    Has anyone ever gotten their make up done at a M.A.C store?

    And could you tell me your experience their getting your make-up done.Has anyone ever gotten their make up done at a M.A.C store?
    Yes. Words cannot explain. They pretty up your face. You look amazing. And it's not like they put pounds of makeup on you. Just, cover up eveyliner eyeshawdow, lipstick or lipgloss, and blush!Has anyone ever gotten their make up done at a M.A.C store?
    I have gotten it done a couple times, but I really don't go for events because I am very good at doing my own makeup, I have particular preferences, and many times they try and do looks that are too light on the eye for me (I have to do a brighter eye). It is always nice to go see somebody else's perspective, but I typically will only get it done from a veteran of the counter as one of the things we do is talk about how MAC-obsessed we are, favourite former LE products, and so forth.





    If you aren't like me (if you are a more casual user of makeup), then I say go for it because it's worth it, you'll learn some new techniques, and you'll learn about the new products and be able to ask any questions you may have. But for me, with the knowledge I have, it isn't as worth it.
    Yes, I was in the 10th grade (that was 2 years ago), and honestly I didn't look any different. The lady, who was extremely nice, applied foundation that perfectly matched my skin and some sort of natural-looking eyeshadow. I guess she figured since I was so young that I didn't need alot of makeup but I looked the same as when I first entered the store! I was expecting some sort of change, after all the applying and whatnot, but it was not even remotely drastic. But let me tell ya, the people in that MAC Store were some of the most unique people I've ever seen before (purple and pink hair, 80's makeup on their faces, looking totally cool). =P


    I *wished* that I could have done something as drastic as that (with the hair and makeup), but unfortuately by mother wouldn't let me. *sigh*
    I'm Asian and I've realized that asian features can be a bit difficult to play up. I've gotten my makeup done there and absolutely HATED IT. I looked like the silliest doll out there because they've overdone it. I've actually liked it a lot better when I did my makeup myself. I've seen some girls get their makeup done, and it was utterly gorgeous.
    it really depends on u if u like beeing all dolled up or not if u don't then most likely ur not gonna be ok with the finish result n is gonna feel like u have alot of make up if u do like the whole idea of looking like ur gonna go to an event then ur definatly gonna like ur preety face at the end..
    I feel like MAC tends to overdo makeup, almost to the point of looking drag queen-ish. If you go in and tell them exactly what you want though, they should do a good job. After all, they're hired to be makeup artists.
    Nope But They Applied Fake Eyelashes For Me :) x





    You Should Go For It.. Everyone At MAC is nice and helpful x

    you can try any of the following:





    If the color you're searching for is discontinued, you'd probably have an easier time finding it on a site like eBay or Amazon.com, but check around- the internet has lots of great places you can try. ..





    Nordstrom

    www.Amazon.com/beauty


    Macy'sWhere can i find a m.a.c lipstick i lovedust?
    Hey, You can try a pro store but i believe love dust has been discontinued. So you probably out of luck. Also, try ebay.Where can i find a m.a.c lipstick i lovedust?

    Any good makeup blogs/websites that are not based on M.A.C?

    I've been searching for makeup blogs. I've found quite a lot, but most of them are based on M.A.C cosmetics and pigments. I'm not a big fan of the extremely colorful, cake icing eyeshadow technique. Are there any other blogs out there that don't focus so much on heavy eyes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Any good makeup blogs/websites that are not based on M.A.C?
    well this one has every brand!


    Some mac, but not all.


    www.beautyaddict.blogspot.com


    and it has a list of like 50 other blogging websites,


    and the ones iv been to dont have mac!


    I also like clumps of mascara, ((its on the list))


    :DD

    Do The regular M.A.C makeup store have the same prices as the M.A.C PRO stores?

    as you all know mac makeup is very expensive i wanted to know if you to go mac pro in nyc is it any cheaper their or you need the membership in order to get it less expensive?Do The regular M.A.C makeup store have the same prices as the M.A.C PRO stores?
    You need a MAC Pro card to get the reduced rate at the stores and onlineDo The regular M.A.C makeup store have the same prices as the M.A.C PRO stores?
    The only way you can get discounts is if you work for MAC, a makeup artist, or is a MAC pro member.


    If you want discounted MAC products try going to a CCO, Cosmetics Compant Outlet or a CCS cosmetics company store. They have some discontinued MAC products.





    Find one in your area.


    http://www.mallseeker.com/cosmeticscompa鈥?/a>
    Sadly yes! You can only get discounts if you are a member and to be a member you have to be a photographer or makeup artist! However anyone can buy stuff from a MAC PRO store! I suggest going to one because they all have special colors that are not available in a regular MAC store!


    Hope this helps! And have fun!

    Where can I buy MAC (M.A.C.) cosmetics make-up in Cairo, Egypt???

    I have black eyeshadow by M.A.C and I don't know what to do with it?

    I mean how should I put it on? How do I mix it and with what colors?I have black eyeshadow by M.A.C and I don't know what to do with it?
    do a smokey look or use it as a liner (with mixing medium). this is my fave. look to use when i want it to look smokey. plus the color combo is really nice.


    http://youtube.com/watch?v=8VOSiC_VK_kI have black eyeshadow by M.A.C and I don't know what to do with it?
    use it as a liner much softer and smokier than a pencil~
    You can wear it as a crease color or as an eyeliner. If you want a smokey eye look you can apply it lightly to your lid and blend it into the crease then do a wash of a lighter color over it to blend it.
    Use it to shade your lid's so it gives them dimension.


    Put your base color on first, then shade it with the black,open your eye as you reguarly would, and get your make up brush and do windshield wipper movents on the crease of your eyelid so you can get that sultry shaded look, then a lighter color for your eye brow bone ! Good luck.


    XOXO,


    Autumn
    have a look at the ';looks'; section on the Mac website, it will show you how to apply it...





    Go into your local Mac store and ask someone working there with some tips on how to apply it and the best shades to go with it...whatever you do, dont apply a load of black all over your eyes, just use it for blending in the corners of your eyes(depends on your eye shape)





    heres the link...... http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/lo鈥?/a>
    blend it with a white or a silver or any light color to give a smoky look.


    use it as a liner - wet a eyeshadow brush and try it

    M.A.C make up help. im really just a beginer so help from u guys woul be very nice.?

    i just bought COUNTERPARTS from M.A.C. its a light pink and a glimmery dark green color. 1st off i can never get eyeshwdow to last how can i make it last and be visible. i also have really big eyes and a darker olive color and blk eyeshadow just looks bad . what do i do for a more dramatic look without looking like a drag queen.M.A.C make up help. im really just a beginer so help from u guys woul be very nice.?
    In addition to the answer above...





    Choose a MAC eyeshadow base like paint or paint pots that is similar to your skin tone... this way it won't look like it's overdone or too dramatic.


    Also, make up isn't just about the products, it's HOW you apply it that makes the difference. Sometimes using just one colour on your lids isn't good enough because it doesn't help define your features. Go on youtube and search for make up tutorials so you get the hang of how to apply the eyeshadow so it fits your eyes. Use lighter colours if dark colours make you look too drag-queenish. Define your crease using a soft brown or matte brown instead of black or insanely shimmer colours. You may have to use different brushes to achieve a desired effect. I love MAC brushes, but I also know that they aren't the most affordable items on earth. If you can't afford them, go to Sephora or whatever cheaper make up store you have around you and see if they have cheap brushes for you to experiment with. Paint brushes artists' use are used by some people for make up as well - although I personally find them to be not as soft as proper make up brushes, although I must admit that paint brushes are cheap!





    I hope this helps. It's a bit vague but it's hard to give specific advice without actually seeing what's going on. I hope this helps, and if you want to know more about MAC please don't hesitate to email me at sxc_chica_xox@yahoo.com :)M.A.C make up help. im really just a beginer so help from u guys woul be very nice.?
    M.A.C. has both an eye primer that would make eyeshadow last longer, and they also have a product called fix+ which can be sprayed on after makeup and helps set it. You can also use fix+ to spray on brushes for eyeshadow to make it more visible. Blending is what can make it most natural.

  • What are the best M.A.C false eyelashes ?

    Im going to a wedding soon and i wanted to get some false eyelashes from M.A.C. Which ones have you tried and liked? (: xWhat are the best M.A.C false eyelashes ?
    I love love the MAC Lash and Dash collection their no.42's were stunning!





    For a wedding I would recomend either no. 10 or no, 36 depending on what effect you wanted. Both will give you thicker longer lashes with out being too dragqueeny.





    Don't forget to get you're Duo adhesive, look after them and they will be comfertable and last.





    Good LuckWhat are the best M.A.C false eyelashes ?
    i wouldn't recommend M.A.C. I loove them but they can be a little pricey! I would just get some from like H.E.B., Walmart, or Walgreen's, get the brand ARDEL they work great you can actually get a few uses with them!
    7


    there natural looking and thick... perfect for a wedding.


    you can use MAC lashes up to 7 times

    What M路A路C concealer is Better?

    I really need a concealer that will brighten up my eyes and cover up really dark circles.


    So what concealer do you recommend the most M路A路C Studio Finish SPF35 Concealer Or M路A路C Studio Sculpt Concealer ?





    Or just tell me what is a good concealer that works for you from anywhere that covers up dark under eye circles(:What M路A路C concealer is Better?
    studio finish gives fuller coverage. Studio sculpt is more of a sheer light weight coverage. If you have a sephora near you or shop on the web check out make up for ever products. I have their full coverage concealer and it covers everything! They also have one called lift concealer that is especially for brightening under the eyes.What M路A路C concealer is Better?
    I realy like the body shop concealer pencil its creamy and covers all redness well so it should work for you. But can i just say I dont use concealer under my eyes coz i just think it makes them look darker and more obvious, I just use a perfect match liquid foundation using a sponge.and blend bend blend!
    MAC Studio Fix is really good. i have the powder, and it is like a foundation, but good for pimples and dark circles.
    this summer i spent days on yahoo answers trying to find the ideal foundation for me weather it be liquid or powder. i have darker bags which is genetic for me. i was currently using bare minerals then. i have normal to oily skin so my prime problem was making it stick. so i went to sephora and theres two things you can do if you dont mind spending money or a more cheaper alternative.





    1) bare minerals - i love this stuff. they have starter kits for about $6o. that kit comes with 2 shades of bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation, Mineral Veil finishing powder, Warmth All-Over Face Color, Flawless Application Face Brush, Handy Buki Brush, Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush, an in-depth How-To Guide that details every product and how to best apply your bareMinerals. that can be purchased in any beauty supply shop such as sephora, ulta, or in the mall they have their own store called bare essentuals. or you can buy a mineral veil %26amp; mineral powder foundation seperate with the option of a bronzer to blend in which would be about $2o-$3o each. it works well but id recommend washing your face, patting it dry, and moisturizing before application. then wait at least 2o minutes to put it on because otherwise your makeup will melt right off. you can also try primer which is made to make pores appear smaller for better makeup application. i use rimmel london face primer 101. also put on the mineral viel first. this is because its meant to stop oil and melting so if you put it on first it blocks that stuff before it reaches the mineral powder foundation. then put on the mineral powder foundation. then after optional bronzer. if you have more oily complexion then go for the bate mineral matte which is new in subsitution for the mineral powder foundation. thats your best bet for powder.





    2) tarte - i was a huge fan of bare minerals but i wanted something that lasted and stuck forever and ever to cover up everything including big pores %26amp; dark circles. let me tell you this stuff is amazing! it works so great and makes my skin look flawless. i had the pore problem where they appeared bigger. it was horrible. just the other day i bought this stuff and it seems like magic. okay there is a kit that is $54 that comes with everything youll need and more. i bought mine at sephora. again i recommend putting on the foundation first after washing your face, patting it dry, and moisturizing before application. then wait at least 2o minutes to put it on because otherwise your makeup will melt right off. use the primer that comes in the kit to make pores appear smaller for better makeup application. the following is makeup instructions which tell you exactly how-to %26amp; what is included in the kit: ';Begin by prepping skin for a flawless finish with our best selling, full-size Clean Slate primer. Next, erase imperfections and blemishes with a full-size of The Eraser 4-in-1 natural concealer which you use no coverup under eye circles along with blemishes. Optimize your complexion perfection by giving your skin natural luminosity while increasing its moisture content by 52.8% with a full-size of the ReCreate(TM) anti-aging foundation with Wrinkle Rewind(TM) technology. This skin-perfecting client favorite also protects your skin with SPF 15! Then, set your perfect complexion with Provocateur pressed mineral powder with SPF 8. Finally, dust a sunkissed veil of our award-winning Park Avenue Princess mineral bronzer on forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin where the sun would naturally hit. Your skin will look flawless, while the high-performance, natural鈩?formulas deliver clinically proven, skinvigorating鈩?benefits all day. These complexion perfectors are housed in a travel-friendly cosmetic bag that makes it easy to take these complexion correcting essentials on the go.'; its also just as natural as bare minerals and promises it dosent contain anything bad for skin. i wore it all day and it didnt fade. i saw no pores. it was perfect. i also bought a pinking cleam blush to give my skin a nice simple rosey cheek that looked all natural. then a natural eyeshadow. that would be your liquid with some powder option which i LOVE %26amp; is super light and non cakey. remember less is more.





    3) a cheaper drugstore alternative would be neutrogena skin clearing oil free liquid makeup. its $13 and blended into my skin very well and made me feel like i was wearing no make up at all. you could use that with a light powder like physicians formula (about $12) or even just the mineral foundation powder ($11) or mineral sheers ($11) by neutrogena for touch ups. i recommend putting on the foundation first but after like i said washing your face, patting it dry, and moisturizing before application. then wait at least 2o minutes to put it on because otherwise your makeup will melt right off. you can also try primer such as rimmel london's face primer 101 which is made to make pores appear smaller for better makeup application.

    Does m.a.c do makeup for free?

    I need my makeup done for prom and mac does amazing eye makeup. I was just wondering if it's one of those things where you have to buy something first to get your makeup done or if they just do the makeup for free??? thanks in advanceDoes m.a.c do makeup for free?
    Yes mac does take makeup appointments, but they charge a fee. Its a store...





    There are times when the stores are slow and they'll do your makeup for free without you buying anything, but if they're busy they will only put the product you're interested in buying on you so you can see what it looks like. BUT around prom time, mac is pretty busy so I'd call and talk to someone at the store about an appointment because here in Boston, theres a line for prom makeup.Does m.a.c do makeup for free?
    call the counter..they should be able to let you know if there will be a cost, i remember when i was in HS i simply had to buy a product i think it was 25 bucks or more and they would do a makeover with that purchase. :o)
    they told me you can schedule free 30 min makeup lessons, but i think they expect you to buy something.


    also, this was last summer so they may have changed it.
    MAC is a cosmetic company, that sells makeup.


    I dont believe that actual serve clients, or at least the people at the store dont.
    you can set an appointment with them so they can do your makeup. where I'm from it cost $25+ and you don't need to buy the makeup after.
    no you actually have to go in and buy something and they'll do it =D
    I highly doubt it.

    M.A.C. Whats the best coverage makeup that they have?

    I have frecks and hate them. There light but I like FULL coverage.M.A.C. Whats the best coverage makeup that they have?
    Try studio sculpt, their coverage is build able so you can have full coverage or medium coverage. In my opinion freckles are not bad, in fact they give you character, help you stand out and can be considered appealing. Instead of hiding your freckles completely try to work with them.M.A.C. Whats the best coverage makeup that they have?
    MAC Studio Fix Foundation is a full coverage foundation and lasts all day too!! It's expensive, but worth it, M.A.C.'s makeup lasts forever. I have had an eyeshadow for over 4 years and use it everyday. M.A.C. is by far one of the best makeup lines you will find on the market.
    well mac foundation has lots of mineral oil--which is terrible for your skin %26amp; clogs your pores big time--it is great for photography but not every day use--but if you are insistent on using mac--i recommend the studio tech--have you tried bare minerals?
    MAC Studio tech definately...or the studio fix fluid.

    About how much does it cost to get your makeup does at M.A.C. cosmetics?

    You have to buy 40 dollars worth of product, but make an appointment.

    You may want to try your local CCO (cosmetics company outlet) they sell discounted MAC products (as well as other brands) and im sure they will sell it there. You can also buy it from maccosmetics.com, its in stock there.

    I have some open pores on face what type of foundation from M-A-C that i can get that will cover it?

    Well instead of trying to cover it why not try to solve it i had acne like those freaking proactive commercials like a week before school started this year and proactive DIDN'T WORK no way lol but try Clearasil daily cleansing pads those work amazing in three days all of it went away.I have some open pores on face what type of foundation from M-A-C that i can get that will cover it?
    How about none and letting your face heal. You will definitely create blackheads by plugging the pores with makeup.I have some open pores on face what type of foundation from M-A-C that i can get that will cover it?
    clinique do a really nice pore minimising foundation

    Has anyone tried the M.A.C. lipstick lacquer?? I am thinking about trying it and would like reviews!?

    Or does anyone have a favorite mac lipstick of gloss. thanks!Has anyone tried the M.A.C. lipstick lacquer?? I am thinking about trying it and would like reviews!?
    Go to www.makeupalley.com for reviews of makeup. Go to ';product reviews';, enter the product and brand, and it'll give you tons of reviews on ANY product. You might have to make an account though!Has anyone tried the M.A.C. lipstick lacquer?? I am thinking about trying it and would like reviews!?
    Have you been to http://www.makeupalley.com ? They have reviews for everything.

    Question about M.A.C makeup, someone told me that they make their products with fishscales?

    Is this True, because I don't believe him?Question about M.A.C makeup, someone told me that they make their products with fishscales?
    False it's a urban myth- they say that shimmer make up is made out of fish scales which is false because the makeup would stink and 2 fish scale don't have any shimmer in them.


    Cheap companies use plastic (glitter) but companies like mac use pigment and mica to get the sparkle.


    Read the back of the box- they all say mica on them.





    Mac is animal friendly and they do not test on animals and they don't grind up fish scale for eye shadow and their is no whale fat in their lipsticks! LOLQuestion about M.A.C makeup, someone told me that they make their products with fishscales?
    nooooo


    i dont think thatss trueee.
    umm i kinda heard dat too, in their eyeshadow right, but my friend works there and it is totally made up, don't listen to them MAC products are great continue using 'em
    Hmm, I don't remember seeing ';fish scales'; being on their ingredients list. :P I use their eye shadows and they are my favorite! It sounds like a bogus claim to me.
    Well I'm not sure about the fish scales, that would probably be the best thing they put in their overpriced jar of synthetic crap! They use harsh chemicals in their products that are linked to cancers, reproductive problems etc... Don't believe me? Check out Mac and your other favorite brands at www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. I am a professional makeup artistand I would never use Mac, Chanel, Dior or any of those brands on my clientel. Their products are far to inferior to the class of my clientel. I'm not being snooty, I'm trying to make you aware if you read their ingredients it is SCARY what is in their products! And its nothing worth any value at all. It should be sold for $.50. You can get a much better high quality product going with a natural/organic based skin care company. At least you would be getting your moneys worth in quality.
    I highly doubt it. PETA told MAC in 2001 that March of Dimes does animal testing and MAC now no longer donates to them due to this. And Pamela Anderson is a spokeswoman for it, and she is also a spokeswoman for MAC.

    What to get at M.A.C?

    ok. so i've just started to really get into makeup. i want to go to MAC but i have no clue what to even look for or what products are like must haves.


    help?


    thanks =]What to get at M.A.C?
    It kind of depends. :)


    If you have oily skin, you definitely will want the oil control lotion and the studio fix powder plus. It made my skin GREAT! It looks so much better.


    For dry skin, you'll want to ask for some kind of moisturizer that gives your skin a great glow and if you want, studio fix fluid foundation.


    The best mascara they have there is PlushLash which is only about $12.00.


    They have a HUGE variety of eyeshadows, eyeliners, and brushes, but they can tell you what is good for your eyes. I reccommend the Paint Pot which really stops eyeshadow or liner from creasing.


    Good luck! Pick me best answer. :]What to get at M.A.C?
    It all depends on what you need, sweet pea! MAC's new Sugarsweet collection has a really pretty color palette that will be in this season, but of course you are not only limited to those products. A MAC freelance makeup artist will be very helpful in choosing which colors and products most compliment your skintone.
    I love their Fix + Spray.





    I find it helps my makeup stay on longer, works as a mixing medium (when you want to use eyeshadow wet/as a liner), refreshes my face, and I use it on my hair before I brush it, after gym class to tame frizzies.





    I also LOVE their Liquidlast!


    This eyeliner stays PUT. In an experiment, it stayed on for 3 days max. I suggest you get one in black (point black), and in a nuetral/peach color (i forget the name?), so you can use this as an eyeshadow base to help your eyeshadow stay on longer.
    I have to say their eyeshadows are the best products there!


    I love buying eyeshadows from MAC, they have so many different colors to choose from and they last a long time too.


    They have great lipsticks/lipglosses as well :)
    Allthatglitters21 has an amazing video on a starter kit from mac =)


    she is one of my favorite gurus on youtube.
