Most people I know love a bit of MAC makeup but some are not quite sure where to start in terms of what to buy as MAC have such a huge range so I thought I would share with you what my top 6 recommended products are.
MAC Blusher
These blushers come in various different finishes
Mineralise- a sheer, lightweight blusher
Pro Longwear- a highly pigmented lightweight blusher
Powder- a buildable powder for all over the face
Casual Colour- a versatile creamy product for lips and cheeks
Cream Colour Base- a creamy formula that gives a dewy finish
Cremeblend- a medium coverage buildable blusher
They offer such a huge colour range that will wanting you want them all! One of my favourites is Dolly Mix, pictured below. It is a beautiful powder which is highly pigmented perfect for spring/summer, it is quite bright but easy to blend and tone down.
MAC Eyeshadow
There are various different finishes available
Pro Longwear- a silky., creamy texture that is buildable in colour
Mineralize- a long wearing highly pigmented shadow
Veluxe Pearlfusion- a pearl matte finish, highly pigmented
The range of different shades is huge, from golds to purple and green, there is a shade for everyone. I love how easy it is to work with these shadows, I particularly love Woodwinked, Mythology and Satin Taupe.
MAC Foundation and concealer.
No matter what your skin type MAC have a product for you, they have a good selection of different foundations and concealers.
Foundations
Studio FX- my favourite! A buildable foundation with medium coverage. It lasts all day, up to 8 days according to MAC, giving a smooth appearance with SPF and special skin conditioning ingredients.
Pro Longwear- Lasts up to 15 hours according to MAC. This is a lightweight formula which gives a sheer to medium coverage.

Matchmaster-Moisturising, demi matte foundation with the latest pigment adjusting technology. A medium coverage.
Mineralize- Available as a compact or a cream gel type liquid. Sheer to medium coverage. SPF and an impressive 77 mineral complex.
Studio Sculpt-Gel based foundation that gives medium to high coverage. Long lasting and water resistant.
Studio Tech- a compact foundation that gives a natural matte finish which works with all skin types.

Mineralize- Longwearing, medium buildable coverage, full of minerals.
Matchmaster- Medium buildable cover with a natural satin finish.
Select Moisture Cover- This is good for under the eyes! Its a light formula that you can build.
MAC Lipstick
My all time favourite product from MAC, they have such a huge range of colours, I get particularly excited when they have limited edition ranges out! My favourite finish has to be matte for its long lasting highly pigmented quality.
Matte- Long lasting, matte finish. This lipstick lasts through lunch and numerous cups of tea!
Frost-A shimmery finish that is medium lasting.
Satin- Long wearing, and opaque with a shiny finish.
Retro Matte- A long lasting super matte lipstick that can be drying so make sure you apply a lip balm beforehand.
Cremesheen- Not the most long lasting but they are really creamy and shiny that give a good colour pay off.
Amplified- Good pigmentation with a moisturising feel.
Glaze- Sheer with a glossy finish that isn't long wearing.
Lustre- Very similar to Glaze, but more opaque.
