MAC Cosmetics earns largely positive reviews for performance: lipsticks like Russian Red and Mehr deliver rich, lasting pigment, Fix+ setting spray and Studio Fix complexion products are standouts, and eyeshadows, kohl liner, and Paint Pots wear reliably. Reviews also flag weaknesses—brushes shedding or ungluing after washes, sticky Lipglass, some drying or cakey formulas, tricky shade matching, packaging missteps (foundations without pumps, messy bottles), and occasional product misses like Locked Kiss 24HR or certain setting sprays—making the brand strong but not uniformly flawless.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I love that i can return my empty Mac containers as credit for new makeup. It is sustainable and also easy on the checkbook.
The setting spray is sooo good, makeup stays in place and the actual nozzle works well and smoothly. I also love the squirt lip gloss, a little goes a long way so be warned. it just makes the lips look juicy and nourished

Great lip and face products
I recently switched all of my make up, skin care, hair care, everything over to products with non pore clogging ingredients. That said, I really found the best shade match for my skin in an other brand but an Ulta employee helped me find another great match in Mac’s all over face pen! I was really amazed that I found another match that was safer for my acne prone skin. This is my go to foundation for when I am wearing makeup.
I used liquid and cream foundation, lipsticks, lipgloss, primer and eyeshadows. Can't believe how good products are. I purchased mac products for the first time when I was beginner and kept buying on more and more products. I like most products but not lipgloss which is sticky formula. Lip oil is one of my favourite product which lasts long. I can't forget about the strobe cream as well, so good to use it. I think I am forever a MAC girl since begining.
Max has always been middle of the line cosmetics for me. When I was younger they were all hyped up but complexion products would always oxidize. I believe their formulas are better nowadays. The one favorite product of mine is the setting spray. All together it’s a decent brand but doesn’t top others.

I ordered Studio Fix Tech Cream to Powder NW43 on the MAC website on 5/9/25 and I still haven’t received it. Today is 5/20/25. I keep receiving text messages from a third party called OnTrac stating that they’re “unable to deliver” my package. Ridiculous. Now I want my money back because someone is playing games.

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

I was very disappointed in the MAC locked kiss 24 hour lipstick. I bought it in Taboo. The lipstick absolutely did not go on smoothly, it skipped around because it is too dry. I would not recommend. Overall I love MAC products and will continue to use them. This particular formulation of lipstick I would not recommend.

I've only used a couple of their lipsticks and they're concealer. The lipsticks are great, I usually go for the classic viva glam 3. But the concealer in my opinion should be in a different container. The output is just kind of awkward to me, and should be more of a brush-on applicator or something of the sort for more convenience.
