Mac Cosmetics earns strong reviews for performance: lipsticks, eyeshadows, and Fix+ setting spray consistently deliver rich pigment and all‑day wear, while classics like Studio Fix powders and Paint Pots prove reliable. Reviews also flag drawbacks—complexion products can feel heavy or oxidize, some formulas (Lipglass, certain long‑wear lipsticks) run sticky or dry, shade‑matching and packaging can frustrate, and the brand isn’t cruelty‑free—making Mac a powerful but not universally comfortable choice.

I just got the new lip & cheek mouse in Velvet Teddy 2 and I am obsessed. As someone who has not tended to wear lipstick I really feel comfortable wearing this. It has a really plush almost powdery soft feel to it and has a blurring effect which is so pretty. Velvet Teddy 2 is the most perfect "your lips but better" shade.

MAC Lipglass Blow Oil in Ginger Zinger is a universally flattering clear gloss with a subtle warmth that enhances your natural lip color. The formula is smooth, hydrating, and completely non-sticky, making it super comfortable for all-day wear. It's infused with 1% root extract that gives a soft, visible plumping effect-no tingling, just naturally fuller-looking lips. Whether worn alone or over lip color, it delivers a high-shine, glassy finish with a sultry pout. A Simple, glossy, and effective-Ginger is a gloss that plumps your lips without burning or causing pain. that truly elevates your look.

This is the best mascara I’ve used. It’s amazing not only lenghtening but also giving volume, my only downside is that the formula is a bit thick so lashed may be weighted down if you use too much or don’t curl your lashes.

The MAC lipstick is a makeup staple known for its rich pigmentation and wide range of shades to suit every style and skin tone. Its creamy texture glides on smoothly, providing intense color payoff with just one swipe. Many finishes are available — from matte to satin to gloss — so you can choose the perfect look for any occasion. The formula feels comfortable on the lips and doesn’t dry them out, making it easy to wear throughout the day. The sleek packaging adds a classic touch to your makeup collection. Overall, it’s a reliable, high‑quality lipstick that delivers bold, beautiful color every time.

I love MAC liquid eyeshadow line! It is so easy to apply and blend even with your fingertips. It goes on smoothly and evenly, there are no weird uneven patches. This eyeshadow stays on all day long and doesn’t smudge or crease. It also feels comfortable on my skin without stickiness or dryness.

This eyeliner gives a good pigment and is easy to smudge if you’re going for a smoky eye effect. It is meant to last 24HR but for me it has lasted way longer. I have the shade vintage teddy and it gives a very nice brown color to my waterline and the perfect smoky eye look.

One thing that I love about this spray is that it’s alcohol free so I feel it’s better for your skin. It does offer a matte look which i like because I have oily skin. I would say it does make my face feel a little more dry than i’d like but it is a matte setting spray so that’s expected. It made my makeup last the whole day!

I have a mini lipstick from MAC Cosmetics. I think it is a fine enough product but you don't get very much for the price and it wasn't available in a lot of colors. The color I do have is an unusual color though so I think it was worth purchasing.

I think this is very similar to the Glossier perfecting skin tint but if it actually had some coverage. This formula is very “watery” and lightweight and gives off a nice dewy look finish. I think this is a good option if you’re a fan of lightweight to medium coverage and prefer that natural glowy, your skin but better look. It doesn’t feel very drying and I haven’t experienced any dry patches or piling. The only reason why I’m not obsessed with it is because of the packaging :/ the bottle makes application messy and not as convenient as it could be. Still I think it’s a good option for dewy, natural finishes.

I've only tried a few of the products from MAC and I'm not entirely impressed. The products seem expensive without really providing something extra to be worth the price. Their $30 mascara seems to be like most other mascara and is somewhat drying.

Although for some time I’ve doubted it, MAC is one of the best makeup brands and undoubtedly is of the strongest competitions. Their mascaras, lipsticks, blushes, complexion products, EVERY category performs beautifully!

The performance this brand delivers is top-notch. The lipsticks are a cult classics, eyeshadows are fantastic, and mascara the best yet. My only unliked product is the lash curler which doesn’t work on me and has ripped some lashed off.

I love the color pay off on this blush. It is nice for a powder blush and has a good sheen. The color was a little too coral for me, but I'd like to try other shades. Mac has other great products as well. I enjoy their setting spray.

I love this product so much. It’s completely changed how my makeup looks. I’ve decanted it into mini spray bottle multiple times because I refuse to not have this with me when I travel. It melts and blends everything together so nicely!

“MAC powder and foundation are a flawless duo! The foundation provides smooth, even coverage, and the powder sets it perfectly without feeling heavy. My skin looks radiant all day—absolutely worth it and highly recommended.


All the products I have from MAC have been amazing quality! The fix plus, lipsticks, and eyelash curler have been amazing. Their products have great pigmentation and last all day. Their employees are great about finding your coloring as well.

MAC is where I started purchasing makeup products as an adolescent and their quality continues! MAC is such a good basic AND if you collect 7 empties they will give you a free lipstick (any color)!

Classic for a reason—pigmented but buildable, and the shades are so wearable. It blends easily without getting patchy and lasts through a full day. I always end up going back to these. The Glowy bluch has been my favorite.

MAC lipsticks are iconic, and their color range is unbeatable, but some formulas feel drying over time. The foundations offer good coverage, but shade-matching can be tricky, especially with undertones. I do love the Ruby Roo 💄

MAC Russian Red is what I’m reviewing today. It’s a universal red blue shade supposedly good on everyone. Close. Very close. I’m still playing around with it, hoping it’ll work for me. We shall see. Apply carefully. It’s bold.
