Next in my Top 5 series is MAC. I’ve decided to do a few of these ‘Top 5’
blog posts to highlight the absolute gems of brands’ product collections, and
what better brand to talk about than the reigning king of beauty? MAC is a
brand that I sort of hate to love. For a start, they’re still testing on
animals (come on MAC, pull your heads out of your arses), plus, their products
are so so so expensive I almost resent buying them. That being said, the
quality is undeniable and I’ve not tried a single MAC product that wasn’t great
in one way or another. Here are my top 5 favourite MAC things!
MAC Studio Sculpt
Foundation
Of all of MAC’s foundations, this one suits me the best. It’s silky, yet
thick and you can start with a fine, sheer coverage and build to a perfectly
flawless one. Personally, I don’t find that MAC’s foundation shades are quite
suited to me because I always end up looking a little yellow, but the Studio
Sculpt in NW15 is just about right.
MAC Lip Pencil in Whirl
I’m fairy confident that everyone on earth loves Whirl. Made famous by the
infamous Kylie Jenner, and adored by those 90s crazed among us, it’s become a
staple in loads of my friends’ makeup bags. MAC has since brought out a
lipstick in the same shade *cue me losing my shit* and so I’ve now got the full
collection under my belt.
MAC Pro Longwear
Concealer
All other concealers can go home, thanks for coming. This really is the
champion of champions. In the past, this has hidden spots, scars, dark circles,
and redness. Depending on what time of the year it is for me, and therefore how
tanned I am, I can also use this as the most durable, hardwearing highlight,
too. This stuff won’t budge, and it has never ever creased while I’ve had it
on. I need a new bottle ASAP!
MAC Lipstick in Paramount
This is truly one of MAC’s unsung heroes. You can google pretty much any
MAC shade and find a million swatches, but not this one. It’s almost like
hidden treasure. It’s definitely one of these 90s shades that I’m so crackers
for! It’s a beautiful brick toned blood red, and apparently flattering on a
whole host of skintones. It’s also one that not many people own, so if you’re
hunting for something a little less well-known, definitely check out Paramount.
MAC Lipstick in Velvet
Teddy
No shocks here, then. Look how tiny the lipstick is now! Quick, I’ll have
a meltdown unless I order a new one. Velvet Teddy is my every day, go to shade.
A darker nude, slightly beigey pink, with a beautiful suede-like finish. It’s
like lipstick porn to me, and I literally wear it day in/day out because it’s
so flattering with my complexion. Obviously, you know how universally loved
this lippy is, and if you haven’t tried it yet, please remove yourself from
beneath the rock you live under and give it a go!
Lots of love,

My favourite MAC product hs got to be my Stripdown lipliner! I wear nothing but nude on my lips and this is the perfect shade! Kinda fallen out with my 'Soft and Gentle' mineralize blush because it has started to look grey because my face is too tanned..damn!
