Help! I'm a MAC Noob


As much as I love makeup and buying good quality products, I am completely out of the loop when it comes to MAC Cosmetics. From what I can gather, most people get addicted to makeup usually by dabbling in the world of MAC as a teenager. I currently own two items from the brand. One being the oldest makeup bit in my collection, my beloved MAC Mystery eyeshadow that's a whopping 9 years old (is that gross?). The second item being a new member to my lipstick collection, MAC Ravishing lipstick- a retro peach lippie. I personally find the creme sheen formula a little drying so I would be interested in more moisturizing formulas, I've heard good things about the lustre formula in terms of a more hydrating option. As there is no MAC store in my province, I'm looking for some recommendations for the best products so I can place my online order. In this scenario, I am the noob and am looking for your help in picking out the best MAC products!

Here are some things I've considered purchasing:
- the infamous MAC 217 eyeshadow brush 
- more eyeshadows (recommendations please!)
- cream blush (I haven't heard much about these) 
- moisturizing lipstick 


I'm open to suggestions and hoping you lovely readers can help a fellow makeup addict out! What are your must-have MAC products? I need your help :)

    Hi Stacy! One of my favorite lipsticks is MAC See Sheer and it's a red with a very very slightly coral. It's a lustre and the color is a bit different based on the color of your lips. I wore it to my aunt's wedding and my sister and mom also wore it and looked beautiful on them too.

    I'm also looking into the 217 brush! People keep telling me about it and I love fluffy brushes for my eyeshadows.

      Hey Hao! I've heard Essie Button mention See Sheer as one of her favorites, I'm pretty sure she compares it to the shade that Christina Hendricks wears in Mad Men. I think I'm going to order it, sounds right up my street. There's nothing like a pretty sheer red. And the 217 is definitely happening! Thanks for commenting doll :D xo

      I totally agree with your Louise! I feel like releasing a new collection every week takes the fun out of limited edition collections and it's just too much to keep up with. Ravishing is really pretty, reminds me of a color worn in the 60's. Thanks for commenting love :D xo

    I'm a MAC Noob too!! I have one blush and two brushes. The MAC 217 is a lifesaver, and I think I need another!! I want to get a few lipsticks, but there are just TOO MANY to choose from!

      This could be a dangerous situation. I've had tons of helpful suggestions! The 217 is a must. And now I'm thinking about an eyeshadow quad... Thanks for commenting doll! xo

    OMG I am a HUGE Mac addict, half of my collection is Mac and I just did a giant haul the other day!!! Mac literally has the best lipsticks some of them being Rebel, Heroine and Twig which are some of my favourites!!! Also I absolutely love the eyeshadows in Sketch, Embark and Saddle they are all my favourites, I'm not self promoting but I have quite a few Mac posts with swatches if you wanted to check out my blog. If you can't already tell I am a Mac addict!

      Hey girl! I checked out your blog and it is great inspiration! I'm now following you on bloglovin! I really want to try Rebel for fall and both sketch and saddle look like perfect colors for a bronzey smokey eye. Thanks for commenting love :D xo

    I love MAC so much. Most of my makeup is MAC actually. Here is video I did featuring some of my favorite MAC empties (you can recycle empties for a free product!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr_2UXafTuU
    I've also recently tried their foundation and BB cream, though I love them as product, i've noticed it makes my skin break out :(

      Too bad about the breakouts :( I've heard other people say that the foundations break them out as well. Thanks for your video link darling! I'll certainly check it out for some ideas :D Thanks for commenting! xo
