MAC suggestions

is there anything from MAC that you absolutely love or cant live without? I want to try some new things but not sure where to start.

Re: MAC suggestions

I have a ridiculous amount of MAC makeup. It's actually a little insane. Some of my favorite things:

-MAC Mineralize Blush: It makes my cheeks glow like no other blush!

-MAC Paint (in Bare Canvas): I put this on underneath all of my eyeshadow, and it keeps it from creasing and/or coming off easily.

-MAC Tinted Lipglass: The one makeup I can't stand is lipstick...I find myself wiping it off within seconds. the Lipglass is a nice compromise for me because it is light, has a nice tint, and doesn't feel as cakey as lipstick.

-...and (of course) any of their eyeshadows

Re: MAC suggestions

thanks girls. the MUA for my wedding used MAC so now i'm in love with it, i keep slowly adding to my collection. I need to figure out what shadows and lip colors i need to get that i definitely need and then just kinda grow the collection from there; so any actual color suggestions would be great too.

Re: MAC suggestions

just go in and play around.

a color that I might suggest as a must-have for me might not look good on you (and vice-versa).

ITA. The sales associates/MUA at MAC are always really helpful--I've been to many different MAC stores, and they've always picked out awesome colors for me.

Naked Lunch eye shadow! It goes with everything! I have been wearing it for years!

Re: MAC suggestions

i love their liquid concealer. it comes in the same size tube as their lip gloss. its the only concealer i will use and u only need to use a little bit, so it lasts me almost an entire year!

Re: MAC suggestions

Angel is a really pretty soft lipstick color that I use every day.

Re: MAC suggestions

I use their bronzer and it's my must have!

I use many of their eyeshadows but no matter what my base and arch under the eyebrow is always Nylon.

Their Viva Glam V lipglass is all I use too. Sometimes I'll put a darker lipstick under it if I want a more dark lip. Otherwise just the gloss I love too.

I could go on and on... I agree with the other girls though, the sales people at MAC are so great and will help you out. If you tell them you don't want to spend a fortune they won't talk you into tooo much stuff. If I were you I'd tell them you want the basics to start your collection and then add on little by little.
