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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
the mascaras are my favourite, and they have a spray for setting g and it’s great for mid makeup step for hydration but not setting.
I am a big fan of MAC Cosmetics. I have used a variety of their products and have never been disappointed. Their products are affordable and high-quality.
Always loved their lipsticks and sleek design. A bit overpriced for non clean ingrédients, however.
Mac has been my go to for eye shadows. They always have beautiful colors, palettes for different days for celebration, and love the return program (bring in empty/used products get a credit for future/new products).
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.
