  • Solid products that I have been using since the early 2000's - the eyeshadows are prefection and Studio Fix gives amazing coverage with a ton of shades. I really like their new lip balms as well. I will forever be a MAC customer.

  • Even to this day obviously one of the most classic brand that you can always count on. I’m guessing every makeup enthusiast has at least one MAC product in their collection. One of my favorites is the classic lipstick collection. Just any shade you could ever want and a formula that does the job. I also love the strobe lotion. And it’s even better now that they’ve added more shades to the range but the sent is the same and I love it.

  • MAC Cosmetics lipsticks are amazing—such rich colors, great pigment, and a smooth application that lasts all day! The shades are versatile, and they really know how to make colors that pop. I do miss the old trade-in program, though; it was a great incentive for loyal customers and made the brand feel even more rewarding to buy. Still, MAC lipstick remains a staple in my makeup routine for its quality!

  • MAC products are excellent. I especially love the lipsticks and mascara. The waterproof mascara stays out!

  • I recently tried the new glow play lip balms and I am so obsessed 😍 they give great color on the lips and hydration and the results are very long wearing. I tried the shade “trick” But I definitely want to get more shades💛✨✨

  • I love the spike brow, pencil that i have been using for years now, but they have change the new look and designed thinking it should somewhat be better but turned out worse. I wish i could find the old pencil. I'm not going to spend my money on the new one does not last long at all..

    No discount
  • 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)!

  • I have a pressed powder from Mac that has beautiful coverage. Unfortunately, I got it in the wrong undertone so it comes off as grey on me, but I do appreciate the wide shade range and am confident that I will be able to find the correct shade next time.

  • really such a classic brand! I love their clear gloss product on the eyes!!

    Received a free product from Mac Cosmetics
  • I love their small eyeshadow palette. I still use It the colors are so pretty and pigmented.

  • Very good quality and like the products but a big thing as of why I don’t like this brand is because they are not cruelty free. It’s expensive too

  • I like three of their products; their lipsticks, foundation, and prep+prime spray. I don't like the price tag for such little product though.

  • Mac is definitely a staple cosmetic in my home. They last forever and they are amazingly pigmented and great for my skin. my favorite is the foundation and the bronzer and the lipstick.

  • I love their eyeshadow primer and will never wear eyeshadow without it.

  • MAC is a great cosmetics company. They make the most gorgeously colored eye shadows and a really reliable makeup setting spray.

  • Thanks to the rise of some of the OG YouTube beauty influencers like juicystar07 back in 2010, I spent most of high school lusting over getting a MAC concealer or the mineralize skinfinish highlighter very specifically in soft and gentle. Now I feel like they are still a beauty brand that is a slightly more accessible intro to more "higher end" cosmetics. I've since reverted back to my drugstore makeup ways but I do think they have great quality products!

  • To loosely quote Tony Soprano, when it comes to Mac I feel like I came in at the end of something really good. Their lip products and the studio fix powders have always been phenomenal in my experience, but I feel like the heyday of the brand and its popularity was during my early adolescence before I was really wearing makeup. There are shades of eyeshadows that have been discontinued and it isn’t as talked about as much. The way I think about it, Mac has its signature products that are pretty tried and true by now, they’re just not doing anything super innovative the way they once did before inclusive, makeup artist-quality brands like Fenty Beauty came on the scene.

  • Amazing company, with amazing effective products. I would highly recommend. LOVE LOVE LOVE

  • Very beautiful and classic cosmetics. I especially love their fix plus mist, Russian red lipstick, and teddy eyeliner.

  • It's a legacy brand that kinda gives me 2016 vibes but since they had tube girl in their recent campaigns and shows, it's super cool to see them keep up with the times (iykyk!!) I feel like they haven't released anything exciting for a while, but the setting spray will always remain as one of the best in the game.
