MAC cosmetics is definitely a girl's best friend. With a wide range of eyeshadows and lipsticks, you might feel a little overwhelmed when you're in the store for the first time! The make up artists are there to help you with your needs; whether you're looking for the perfect foundation tone or your favourite red lipstick. I've been a MAC addict for as long as I can remember. The eyeshadows are my favourite..they glide on to the lids so well and I love the different textures they carry (matte, lustre, velvet). Its highly pigmented, so a little really goes a long way. If you're planning on investing on cosmetics, you should definitely consider MAC because of its quality! The pigment bottles can last you a lifetime (or more!), so you will hardly ever run out unless you use it everyday. The lipglosses are vibrant and definitely has a lust-factor.

The only downside to MAC is its price, but if you compare its quality and other high end products, its definitely worth it. I have...lets say..many..MAC products, so I can definitely vouch for them based on my experience!!

I've just gotten into mac cosmetics and so far I've been stocking up on some eyeshadows. There is a wide variety of colors to choose from and they're well pigmented. The price was totally out of the range that I go for but when I first tried the product, I'd say that it's well worth the price. The colors are vibrant. The pigment blends well and goes on smooth. A little bit goes a long way so you don't really have to swipe your brush on it to pick up a lot of pigment.

I love mac eyeshadow. It's amazing. It applies bright and vibrant, lasts a long time, blends very well and there are plenty of shades to choose from! You can use it wet to make the colour even more vibrant. My favourite shades are: club, beauty marked and carbon.

MAC eyeshadows are amazing. Everytime I walk into the store I practically drool over the gorgeousness of all the colours! I love their limited edition "Cranberry" - so iridescent and red, I want to eat it! I also have their "carbon" - which is the PERFECT black - really pigmented, no shine of any kind, completely matte, excellent for doing smokey eyes. I have "electra," which is a silvery-grey, gorgeous ice queen colour. I've got "uppidity" in their Fluidline collection (it's actually an eyeliner, comes in a little glass pot, is supposedly a gel, and gives really intense colour that does NOT come off easily at all. I was inspired to buy it by the huge ad of a redhead girl (I'm a redhead, too) with this yellow-gold eyeliner and top and bottom, and asked what she was wearing.

Top Reasons to Buy MAC Eyeshadows:

1) They're VERY highly pigmented, which means they deliver a lot of oomph colour-wise, without putting on a lot.
2) They have a colour range that you won't find in cheaper brands, and the colours are so gorgeous you'll want to eat them.
3) They don't smudge or run - my friend once bought a really cheap blue eyeshadow that actually RAN down her face - I didn't know eyeshadows could be made that badly! But back to the point - yes, their shadows don't fade much at all throughout the day, and stay where you put them.
4) The service in a MAC store is far beyond what you'd get in a drugstore - they'll tell you what shades would look good on you, tell you how to apply them, what they'd go with, etc.
5) They cost $16 or so, but they last SO LONG. I've had my "carbon" forever, and wear it so often.
6) You get a free eyeshadow or lipstick or something else if you bring back 5 empty makeup cases or whatever - huzzah!

This is by far the best eye shadow out there! It goes on so smooth and blends amazingly. It's definately worth the price.

I'll just add to all the MAC shadow love that's going on here. I concur about buying the quad instead of individuals. I used these shadows for the first time on my wedding day and I was really happy with the results. The sales clerk helped me choose my 4 colors, which might have been impossible for me because the selection is overwhelming--in a good way! Most colors take a light hand because they can be pretty intense. They glide on so smoothly and have great staying power.

These eye shadows are amazing. I went to the MAC on Queen St W and I found the service there to be quite awesome. I was afraid that I was walking into a store with pushy sales people, but I was wrong. The MAC artist was very helpful in helping me choose colours without pressuring me to buy anything that I was unsure about.

I did not realize how intense the colours were until I tried them at home! A little really does go a long way! It lasted all day with no crease marks or smudging, something that is really annoying if your skin gets oily throughout the day.

Yes they are expensive, at $16 each! But I think I will follow misschickie's advice and buy them separately with the case. I can see how that could make it all more portable and handy too. Great advice!

I've been using MAC eyeshadow for as long as I can remember. I recently bought a few new eyeshadows and was informed that you get a better deal when you create your own quad vs. buying the eyeshadows individually. Each eyeshadow is about $16 or so, but if you buy the quad case ($4.50) and the quad inserts ($12.50 each) instead, you save money. They are magnetic and pop right in - you don't have to buy the pre made quad color combos.

I was a bit confused at first when she explained this to me but, the quad inserts are the same size as the regular eye shadows and come in all the same colors - all it is, is different packaging. The quad shell is also part of their recycling program, which, by the way, I was told, has now been extended to include eyeshadows and one of their lip gloss'.

MAC eyeshadows are fabulous to apply and blend without getting blotches of darker color here and there that you can get from cheaper eyeshadows. They also stay put and are less prone to those dreaded crease marks that appear on your eyelids halfway through the day.

MAC is one of my favorite eyeshadows ever! As my other brands run out I am now always replacing with MAC. Awesome colours, staying power and it lasts so much longer than other kinds. My only suggestion is not to buy at the Sheway location (inside the bay). They are always way to busy and non helpful. I find other counter/actual mac stores to be much more helpful with finding you the right colour!

There colors are to die for! I dont buy any other eyeshadows! These last all day and look amazing. The variety of colors could match anything.Definatly the best. The price is kinda expensive but they do last a long time and dont need replacing all the time, BEWARE if you put them in your purse for on-the-go applying, becareful they tend to break up in a powder and get everywhere!!!
