Famous for so many different products, MAC have amassed millions and millions of loyal followers all over the world, but if you were to ask anyone what MAC are best at, you can pretty much bet your bottom dollar that they’ll reply with the word ‘lipstick.’
Why? Because it’s true! The MAC lipstick collection is constantly growing and we’re forever being introduced to new, irresistible shades that we simply must buy. MAC are amazing at what they do - in every respect - but when it comes to lipsticks, this brand really does excel.
And for this reason, my MAC lipstick collection is a little bit out of hand...
I mean, it’s not quite as crazy as it used to be (I had a clear out and did about 3 ‘back to Mac’ trips with all the shades I’d fallen out of love with. BUT, it’s still pretty extensive and the shades that are left are ones that I know I’ll love forever & just always go back to.
So, for this blog post, I thought I would share with you the 10 BEST MAC LIPSTICKS that I think EVERY woman should own. Please note that this list is a very personal one and while I adore these shades, you’ll probably find that other bloggers and magazines say differently in one way or another. We all have our own set of personal favourites, but for me, this bunch of beauties is completely unrivaled. Period.
So, before I babble on any more, I’ll get to it. Here are my top 10 MAC lipsticks. Enjoy!
Part of MAC’s gorgeous Cremesheen collection, Peach Blossom is my go-to everyday lipstick and even though I do literally wear this shade EVERY day, I still continue to get compliments about it all the time.
The shade is the perfect pinky-nude tone and of course, there’s some really peachy tones in there, too.
I pretty much always gravitate towards pinks and nudes, but for me, this one really does knock the socks off all the rest! It’s just so pretty and the creamy texture moisturises and nourishes the lips effortlessly, creating a beautiful, glossy finish and lips that look super kissable and plump!
For maximum impact, I pair the peach blossom lipstick with my trusty Whirl liner. Whirl is another MAC product that I always find myself going back to. It’s just such a versatile lip liner and it really does go with everything - it’s fab!
As a top tip, I’d recommend over-lining the lips first, and then filling in with the peach blossom lipstick for a fuller looking pout. Gorgeous!
2. BRAVE
Another of my favourite pink lipsticks from MAC, BRAVE is a true classic and one that I often see in posts shared by other bloggers. Unlike peach blossom, brave has satin finish, making it almost semi-matte with a subtle sheen. And in terms of tone/depth, there’s a definite blue underone, and the colour is somewhat buildable.
I know that lots of girls like their lips to look full on Kylie Jenner matte and dramatic, and this lipstick is actually perfect for creating that look! However, for me, Brave looks best after just one coat and teamed with another Kylie favourite, the MAC Soar liner.
The best way I can describe this combination is like a doll-style lip. With this dynamic duo, your lips will look plump, perfect and eye-catching. Winner!
3. FRECKLE TONE
I don’t often wear this lipstick to be honest, but it’s still one of my ultimate favourites regardless.
In my opinion, this shade is perfect for autumn. The strong orange tone to this lipstick just works so well as we enter that crisp, cold autumn period and the glossy texture helps keeps lips looking and feeling healthy in that bitter chill.
To complete this look, I like to over-line my lips with MAC Spice. This classic lip liner is one that any MAC lover will be completely familiar with. It’s basically a beauty cult classic, and for good reason.
4. CREME CUP
Oh I do love a pretty little Creme Cup pout! Not quite a bubblegum pink, but easily as fun, MAC Creme Cup is part of their Cremesheen collection (you can probably see there is a little bit of a pattern here) and it’s just gorgeous!
This was one of the first MAC lipsticks I ever fell in love with and even now, at least 4 years on, I’m still singing it’s praises from the rooftops. So what does that tell you?!
This lipstick is another with notable blue undertones and the liners I find it works best with are Soar and Edge to Edge. I used to wear Creme Cup with whirl, but I find this look a little too 90’s now, as whirl really does contrast with Creme Cup’s pale pink tone. With that said, there’s a reason I loved this combo for so long, so if you like your lip liner to look dramatic, you may just love this look!
5. SHY GIRL
This lipstick is the one my niece always reaches for first when she raids my lipstick collection - which makes me really pround, actually. I mean, clearly she has great taste, just like her auntie Grace!
All jokes aside though, this lipstick is a real classic from MAC and it just seems to work great on every skin tone. Honestly, whether you’re super dark skinned or you’re pale and proud, this lippie is just one of those that caters to everyone. It’s a failsafe, and for me, one that I’ll always go back to.
For full effect and to really complete the look, I line my lips with MAC Boldly Bare and coat a peachy, slightly glittery gloss over the top. This look makes me feel so confident, especially when I’ve just tanned!
So there you have it! My top 5 MAC lipsticks! I really hope you enjoyed this post & I can’t wait to share more with you all very soon. In the meantime, for more beauty inspiration and gossip, check out my full collection of beauty posts here.
Until next time beauts!
Lots of love,
