♥ Must Have MAC Products

MAC is a brand I had always lusted after. It's that step up from the high street, but not totally high end brand that everyone always raved about and after seeing girls with MAC lipstick collections of my absolute dreams, I had to start investing. My first MAC purchase wasn't just one lipstick, though, it was an £80 splurge on multiple things I'd been eyeing up for ages. I now have quite a few things from the brand but I thought rather than sharing my entire collection, I'd just share my must-have favourites from the brand!


This post couldn't be written without the MAC lipstick's being mentioned. There really is something for everyone in terms of lipstick shades and finishes in MAC and my two favourite shades are Mehr and Twig. They're nothing too special, just a few shades apart and not anything very daring, but that's exactly how I like my lipstick to be. I'm not one for a bright pink lip, so Mehr is a perfect dirty pink matte shade without being too pink. Twig is the ultimate nude for me. It's more brown toned than Mehr and I use this non stop. It has a satin finish and is so long wearing. My next MAC must have is the Pro Longwear Paint Pot. The shades vary massively in colour, but the nudes like Soft Ochre and Painterly are great eyeshadow bases. They neutralise the eye lid and I couldn't apply eyeshadow without laying down Painterly first. Another product for eyes I just can't pass up on from MAC are the Times Nine eyeshadow palettes. I think these tiny palettes are the best value for money when it comes to MAC products. For just £30 you get a perfect mixture of nine mini eye shadows in varied finishes and if you're someone who hasn't tried anything from MAC before, these would be the items I'd tell you to start with. I have two of them - the Burgundy and Purple palettes - and I've got so much use out of them. Finally, I couldn't live without my bottle of Fix +. I use mostly powder products - finishing powder, powder blushes, bronzers and highlights and a few sprays of this after I've finished doing my makeup keeps me from looking flat and powdery. I didn't understand the hype around this before I bought it, but it's got so many uses and it's such a must have of mine now.

Let me know what MAC products are your favourites.. I need to know what to buy next, after all! I have had some dud mac products that I wouldn't recommend at all, but if that's something you'd like me to post in the future tell me in a comment below! Thanks for reading, as ever. I hope I inspired you to pick up something.
