I think when I started IMBB, one brand that I really wanted to try out was MAC. And once you try things from MAC, you go a bit crazy and then want to try everything else as well. 😛 It is hands down one of my favourite brands and no matter what I try to have in my collection I always have to have products from MAC in my kitty.
So let’s see some of the best picks from the brand.
1. Foundation : I always tell people to start with either foundation or a lipstick from MAC. You’d never get disappointed. They have a huge range not only in terms of variety but the shade range is highly impressive when it comes to MAC foundations. I always find them as great investments. Here are the ones to choose from :
- MAC Face & Body Foundation
- MAC Matchmaster Foundation
- MAC Prolongwear Foundation
- MAC Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation
- MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation
- MAC Studio Tech Foundation
- MAC Studiofix Fluid Foundation
- MAC Mineralize Satinfinish Foundation
- MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation
- MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation
- MAC Select SPF 15 Foundation
2. Concealer : Just like the foundation, you have a variety of brilliant concealers to choose from MAC. They have a solution to cover up your under eye circles to the most natural looking daily wear concealers. Plus, they have a huge variety of shades to choose from that would beautifully blend with your skin tone.
- MAC Studio Finish Concealer ( full coverage)
- MAC Prolongwear Concealer (very long lasting)
- MAC Select Coverup Concealer ( medium to buildable coverage)
- MAC Select Moisturecover (light day time)
- MAC Matchmaster Concealer (buildable coverage)
- MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer ( full coverage)
- MAC Pro Conceal and Correct Palette
3. Lipsticks : Once someone told me that once you start using MAC lipsticks, you feel that all the lipsticks that you have used till now were rubbish. 😛 Honestly, MAC lipsticks are an addiction. They have a hugggee selection in terms of colors and textures. The collection a little wonderland in itself.  Plus they have a lovely recycle policy – if you return 6 empty MAC containers, you get a free MAC lipstick in exchange. 🙂 Some fun posts on MAC lipsticks.

You can also buy these powders in darker shades and use them as a bronzing powders. They look absolutely stunning.

10. MAC Strobe Cream : Well strobing might have become an ‘IT’ thing now but MAC always had its strobing game on. One of my friend never uses a foundation. She just uses all over her face this for the most natural glow. Go figure!
It is hard for me not to mention the absolute gorgeous selection of MAC Lip glosses, MAC Lip Pencils, MAC Brush Cleanser and MAC Fix Plus Spray
