MAC has alot of hype from their lipsticks to plethora of collections. Some were excellent and some were so-so.

The eyeshadow in kid looks like a light cool toned brown in the pan, but when u apply it to your eye it looks like an orangy mud color!!

I'm not too crazy about their matchmaster foundations.

All the foundations (pan and liquid) made me break out and oxidized to orange.

I agree with Shelley with the exception of the ProLongwear. I absolutely despised the Studio Sculpt foundation and the face and body foundation. Both were 💩

I've had crummy luck with 2 of the mascaras and I refuse to try more. The foundations make me break out.
As for eyeshadows:
-I picked up Patina because Tanya from Pixi2woo raves about it and found it barely shows up on me.
- Naked Lunch has almost no pigmentation either.
- Amber Lights and Woodwinked look bright orange on my skin.
- Haux and Quarry are almost identical, only Haux takes a million layers to build up the color whereas Quarry actually gets the job done quickly.

Their foundations all pull orange and oxidize like crazy on me. They also break me out.

There foundations :/ I learned in school that there really comedogenic which means that they have tendency to clog follicles and cause a buildup of dead skin skins which causes blackheads and acne. I've seen a lot of clients too that we're really stuck on using Mac makeup because of the name but they had horrible skin so I told them there foundation is just making it worse but I guess you just can't help everyone.

Studio Sculpt Foundation. I never bought it but it was used on me a few times. I HATED the feeling of it. So sticky and cakey. I felt like it really accentuated my flaws as well. I actually didn't mind the mascaras though. They aren't mind-blowing but I can't say I wasn't happy with them.

I am actually liking the brightening primer I picked up a couple months ago.

MAC sometimes feels like "too much" when it comes to makeup and the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. The thin plastic that is softly rounded tends to break easily in my bag. :-(

I really don't see what all the hype is about their eyeshadows. I have a few that were given to me and they all seem too chalky and have lots of fallout.

But I love their blushes and lipsticks

Their foundation is a no no for me it's too cakey and their eyeshadow isn't that pigmented
