Creamy lipstick!

After hearing all the hype about the M.A.C lipsticks, I thought I would try it out for myself. I thought I would try two different types. I have Lustre in syrup and the matte in velvet teddy. These lipsticks are amazing. I prefer the matte lipstick in velvet teddy, and if my lips are a but drier, i usually add a lip gloss over the top of it. The MAC lipsticks feel great when they go on, they are super creamy. I find they last a couple of hours - would be amazing if they lasted a little longer, but I would still definitely recommend this product.

Gorgeous colour, great value

This is a super flattering lipstick and comes in a great range of nude shades in totally gorgeous colours. It also comes in 7 gorgeous finishes, I used matte but am going to try others because I was so impressed. This is a high quality lipstick that lasts even after a coffee without smudging off. It’s also really moisturising on my lips and even though I used a matte it was not at all drying as some matte lipsticks can be. Love the classy black packaging and it’s quite a good price for the quality. It feels light and comfortable to wear and the array of colours available is awesome. Love it

Velvet Teddy

If you love nude lipsticks then I would highly recommend the shade Velvet Teddy. It's the only shade of lipstick I wear. It goes with everything and is great for any event. It's light enough for day wear too. The formula is creamy and feels so comfortable on my lips. It's also long wearing too. This lipstick give a shine-free matte finish and is also anti-feathering, which means no bleeding, drying, cracking or crumbling on the lips. I would recommend this lipstick to everyone as it doesn't even compare to other lipsticks. It's the best!

The one lipstick you truly need

MAC lipsticks are iconic and are really the only lipstick you cannot break up with! I've almost finished my 'velvet teddy' lipstick and all I can say is that it's the best formula of any lipstick that I own (and I own a lot). It glides on smoothly, doesn't accentuate any lip lines, doesn't feel tacky, and isn't drying at all! 'Velvet teddy' has a semi-matte finish that barely transfers and lasts as long or even longer than the Maybelline Super Stay Lip Crayons. Will definitely be buying another bullet soon and totally worth the splurge!

If You Only Ever Own One Lipstick....

Creamy and soft formula that gives lots of pigment. It's so special but doesn't even seem to try with it's low profile simplistic packaging. The formula does all the talking especially when it's on the lips. Though the packaging is simple it still has a high quality feel to it and it never breaks no matter how many months it's been rolling around in my backpack. This lipstick always makes me feel glam and special when I put it on. Yet it comes in the most gorgeous understated colours too that I love. Of course it comes in non-understated colours as well. This lipstick is a winner and feel fancy from the moment I purchase it. There is something professional about this MAC lipstick. It always feels right and never feels wrong.

Creamy and dreamy

I have quite a few shades of MAC Lipsticks but my absolute favourite shade is 804 Cherish which is a darker nude colour. I love them because they are so creamy and apply so smoothly. I find that they also last quite a while on the lips with minimal touch ups. Once applied these Lipsticks are not sticky or tacky. The just have the most comfortable creamy feeling ever. Sometimes I like to add a gloss on top of these Lipsticks. If you haven't tried a MAC Lipstick before you really need to. They are the best!

MAC me up

I love MAC lipsticks, the colour is super pigmented and quite long lasting. My very first colour was the Velvet Teddy which is a nude colour. I love how it goes with every outfit and makeup style I use. It comes in a black cardboard box and inside is a black swivel lipstick. The lid pops up very nicely and you turn the bottom to push it up. It glides on very nicely especially around my cupids bow. I rarely use it with lipliner, it lasts long enough for me. The only downside with its simple black packaging is that once you have built a collection of MAC lipsticks , the only way to tell which colour is which is the number and name of it on the base of the product.

The best lipsticks are MAC lipsticks!

My go to shade of MAC Lipsticks is Spirit. It the most beautiful colour of nude/pink. These lipsticks are super hydrating and not sticky. They last on the skin for a long time and don't need to be reapplied that often. They don't have a scent or taste which is always good and quite often they are on sale too. These MAC lipsticks also have vitamin E in them so that your lips don't dry out and stay hydrated. Tips: Apply a lip liner before the lipstick as the lipstick will last a lot longer on the lips this way.

MAC lipsticks

I just adore my MAC lipsticks I have purchased many shades over the last 10-15 years and it is always a brand I will go to first for a lipstick as it felts so nice and quite nourishing on the lips very long lasting and don’t need to re apply often and once on you don’t notice it is there. I first started purchasing them when I would get my makeup done in store and would always redeem the lipstick they used from then on I never went back. My absolute favourite shade ever is velvet teddy I always have this one on hand.

Iconic Lipstick

You can never go wrong with a MAC lipstick! I love that they come in different finishes, and that they have a HUGE range of shades - definitely spoilt for choice! My longtime favourite is the shade Brave - a beautiful pink that is a perfect 'my lips but better' shade. It is so creamy to put on and so pigmented, a little goes a long way. Once it is on, it is a very comfortable feel and is very long lasting. I can eat and drink through many meals before I feel I need to touch up. MAC is beautiful for both a beginner makeup lover and an experienced artist. You can't go wrong with any of their lipsticks.

Holy grail

I think this lipstick is a holy grail product for a reason. So many shades to choose from, with colours and undertones to suit EVERYONE! My go to shade is Twig! It has a long wear, smudge resistant, matt finish. I find I only need to reapply after eating or after multiple drinks (unless using a straw). I wouldn’t say it is hydrating but it isn’t dehydrating either. Other Matt finish lipsticks can be super dehydrating so this is a huge win for MAC. Also the packaging is fantastic. I found one (shade Impassioned) rolling around in the bottom of my handbag for months and the kid was still perfectly in tact!

Something for everyone

I think it's safe to say that MAC lipstick is iconic. The packaging is simple and chic, and it really is the perfect size. My favourite finishes for everyday are cremesheen, lustre and amplified. They have a mild vanilla scent, which is pleasant on the lips, but something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to fragrance. If you want a bold lip you can't go past the matte and retromatte shades, particularly Rubywoo. On a day to day basis I wear either Cosmo (amplified) or Patisserie (Lustre), which are My Lips But Better shades. There's a shade and finish for everyone's taste and every occasion. The price is reasonable given that MAC is considered high end. And they have a great program where you can take in six empties and receive a new full-size lipstick.

Reliable

I've been a long-time user a MAC lipsticks but have never gotten around to writing a review on them. I recently rediscovered the cult colour Velvet Teddy which reminded me just how much I love MAC lipsticks. They are one of the few that don't dry out my lips, sink into my lip lines or cause them to flake. Velvet Teddy is my nude but better lip colour, I have warm toned skin and this shade show up as a warm nude brown with a romantic hint of pink that livens things up a bit. It works better for me when I am paler, as its summer and I'm getting darker, it's a little too light for me, but it's a great shade for my winter skin. This is one of the few moisturising matte lipsticks that feels light on the lips. It also has good staying power, but a lipliner is definately needed to keep it looking on point.
What not to like. Finally price went down as in Australia MAC products were overpriced comparing to overseas. Now lippies are 30aud, not 36. Depending on the colour and the finish, but most lippies I found have similar wear, colour pay off and they are not drying on the lips (except one in red matte....and I avoid not matte lip products in general). Colour range is insane. And there is shade for every skin tone and preference. Love that they are creamy and comfortable to wear (except matte version for my lips). My faves are satin ones. When I eat I always take the lipstick off (any lip product...always. Do not like the fact of eating lipsticks with my food. Kinda not healthy). But when just wearing them, they last me as any lipstick would, few hours until I eat again and take it off. The ones I have pigmentation is full on, so bolder colours I tend to blot off.
I love MAC lipsticks, they are my go to for lipsticks. They are so nice and creamy.. they apply really well and are long lasting. I find they don't dry out my lips too much like some other lipsticks do. MAC have such a wide range of colours of lipsticks to choose from too. LOVE LOVE LOVE !
I've been using MAC lipsticks for years and have always found them to be very reliable lipsticks to wear for parties etc. My personal favourites include MAC Russian Red and MAC Diva, a colour I love so much that I actually had a fountain pen ink commissioned to match the shade perfectly. The recent price drop that MAC implemented for the Australian market also puts the price at almost equal what people in the USA will pay after tax so it's a pretty good time to go and buy some new lipsticks.
Mac lipsticks are just classic- I don't use anything else but mac. They are at a high price point but if you save 6 containers you can return them and get one for free. Pigment In these nothing compares and the colour selection  is so amazing for people of all skin types.
Some lipstick formulas make my lips feel so dehydrated that I remove the lipstick. I’m not referring to the texture of a matte lipstick, but how some lipsticks have an astringent quality. MAC’s lipsticks in their lustre, frost and satin finishes sometimes make my lips feel dehydrated, but their lipsticks in other finishes feel comfortable for me to wear. All of the lipsticks that I’ve tried from the brand have had good longevity, but some shades last longer than others. Sometimes pale lipstick shades from other brands do not show up well on my lips, but MAC’s pale lipstick shades have excellent colour payoff.  
I am always concerned that matte lipsticks are going to be drying but MAC Velvet teddy is the most hydrating matte formulas that I have tried. The texture is smooth, creamy and long lasting (even when there is eating and drinking involved!). I have fair skin and it is a pinky brown beige on me which warms up as I wear it.  I would recommend this MAC lipstick to anyone that doesn’t have really dry lips.  
MAC lipsticks are an iconic product. I own a few shades, two of which I wore on my wedding day. I prefer the creamy formulas however I must say I was impressed with the comfort and wear of Ruby Woo which is a matte finish. They're fairly priced and I really like the simple packaging. This is a product that I will continue to add to my makeup collection.
