When I first started getting into make-up, I pretty
much only had MAC products, so it is safe to say that I have tried a bunch of
them. Today I wanted to share with you my TOP 5 products that I would recommend
to anyone but especially to those who are starting to build up their collection
as I know how overwhelming it can be to walk in for the first time into a MAC
store.
Mineralize
Skinfinish Natural
So far the best powder I have tried. Ever. I feel that
the value for money is good as the powder lasts me for year. The coverage is
rather sheer but you could build it up. What I like most about is the natural
finish it gives. It doesn’t look caky at all but rather flawless. In summer I
even skip the foundation and just use this (and some concealer).
Pro
longwear concealer
Talking about concealer. This is also an all-time
favorite of mine. I am really picky with my concealer. I like to go for ones
that have a high coverage, last all day, don’t set in my fine lines and
preferably be moisturizing and all that is not that easy to find. Trust me I
have looked. Which is why I was super happy when I tried out the MAC Pro long
wear one as it fulfill all of the above. The only downside is the packaging (seriously, a glass
bottle?). I hate the pump as you are not able to pump the exact amount you need
out of it but pretty much always end up with more than you need. Nonetheless
the product makes up for it and you could always pump some in an empty
container and use the excess the next time.
Pro
longwear Paint Pot
Totally worth every penny. I have the shade painterly
and it has latest me for about 4 years without drying up. Not bad for a cream
product. It cancels out my blue veins on the eyelids and thereof provides a
“clean” canvas for my eyeshadows. Plus it makes the eyeshadow color appear more
vibrant. Because of my oily eyelids I have to wear a primer underneath
otherwise after 4-6 hours it starts creasing on me but I know many other how
don’t have this problem. If you are looking for a good eyeshadow base this one
is perfect. In
particular I would check out these shades: Painterly, Soft Ochre, Rubenesque
Lipsticks
I absolutely love MAC lipsticks. The texture, color
payoff, lasting power are great! The take up the biggest chunk in my lipstick
drawer and I do not regret it. I especially enjoy the luster finish as they
have a creamy consistency.
In
particular I would check out these shades: Blankety, crème de nude and crème
cup.
Eyeshadow
I know there are many good eyeshadows brand out and I
believe MAC is one of them. They have a wide range of different shades and
finishes that (at least most of them) have a really nice quality. In
particular I would check out these shades: patina, all that glitters, club, contrast
and haux. Products that almost made it into my Top 5 are: blushes,
brush cleanser and pigments.
What are your Top 5 MAC products?
