I have a voucher for £30 for MAC make-up, and don't really know what the best thing to buy is, foundation? eyeshadow? lipgloss/stick? I normally buy No.7 stuff which I am happy with so what is the 'hot' MAC stuff?

I like their eyeshadows and lipsticks and their brushes are good.

PavlovtheCat · 28/09/2010 14:57

Anything else?

Their paint pots are great for everyday wear, as is their 'normal' eyeshadow. Check out the pigments, if your feeling brave. They are stunning.

Can you go in to a counter and get a makeover? I find MAC usually v good with that sort of thing.

Eyeshadows and lipsticks like D&S said. I also like the studio fix fluid foundation. The mineral skin finishes get great reviews but i have found a cheap rip-off that I like so havent tried the MAC version.

Eyeshadows - they are brilliant, and everytime I buy a different brand I remember how much better MAC is

I also use Studio Fix, and love their lipsticks

Face and body make-up is meant to be fab and the best out of the ones they do - even if you only use it on the face. The concealers are great, the brushes are really great. The lipstick is great - all around pretty great then.

i need some new foundation, so will look at that too then.

So
lipstick
foundation
eyeshadow

I shall go take a look when the swelling around my eyes have gone down!

yy eyeshadows, brilliant colour range, longlasting, really well pigmented so colours very true

also like their blushers but need a light hand as they are very pigmented too

pigmentation is strong because the range is aimed in large part at pro make-up artists, which is one reason I find their foundations, powders etc a bit much (mind you I like a very light base)

I don't like the smell of the lip products (sickly vanilla) and they dry my lips out, but the colour range is fantastic

I have a viva glam lipstick, I don't think it has a smell but maybe I'm wrong.
