My Top 6 Favourite MAC Products!

Hey all,

This week I thought I'd write about something completely different - for this blog anyway! Make up is such a huge thing now. I think Makeup Artists have such a tough job these days. When I was in school and in college I'd say I had maybe five or six things in my bag. My make up routine would have taken about 10 minutes. It consisted of moisturiser, foundation, pencil eyeliner on the water line, liquid eyeliner on top, a bit of brown eye shadow (sometimes no eye shadow at all), a lick of mascara, lip gloss and maybe a bit of bronzer to finish off the look. I didn't even own concealer, highlighter, blusher and as for the eyebrows - I mean don't even go there!!

In the last 5 to 6 years the make up industry has become massive. I definitely spend more time on it now but it can be tricky, especially those eyes and that dreaded eyeliner. One thing that hasn't changed throughout the years is my love for MAC cosmetics. I just love them!!! I know they're not for everyone but I'm a huge fan. I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite MAC products.

Studio Fix Fluid -This is my favourite foundation and nothing beats this for coverage on me. I've worn it since I was in secondary school and I honestly don't think I'll change to anything else. I wear shade NC25 for night time or if I was tanned and going out for the day. I wouldn't wear this for normal day to day as I'd find it a little heavy. If I'm working I wear very little make up and some days I don't wear any at all. At work I wear a lighter foundation which isn't from the MAC range. Studio Fix Fluid foundation retails at €32.00 a bottle.

Strobe Cream -

This is one of the best products that has ever been introduced to me. I put it on my face after my moisturiser and it gives a lovely dewy glow under foundation. Some days I just wear moisturiser and strobe cream. It gives me the feeling of having something on my face, yet my skin can breathe. This product retails at €12.00 for 30mls. A 50ml bottle will set you back €34.00 so you're better off buying two 30ml bottles. It's a saving of €10.00 so it's a no brainer!!!

                                                              

Soft and Gentle Highlighter -

This is my favourite highlighter of all time. It lasts for ages too. I have mine a few years now and there's loads left. This pretty highlighter costs €31.50.

Soar Lip Liner -

I love the colour of this lip liner. As well as lining the lips with it I also put it all over to give the lips a fuller looking effect. This beauty will set you back €17.50.

Cremesheen Modesty Lipstick -

My lips can get quite dry so I never wear a matte lipstick or lip gloss. I like to wear something with a bit of moisture in it. I wear this lipstick 90% of the time! I've nearly run out! You just can't beat a good nude lipstick! This lipstick is €20.00.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer -
Like studio fix fluid, I find this concealer has excellent coverage. I apply it to eyelids (acts as a primer for eyeshadow), underneath my eyes, a little bit on my forehead and a small bit at the end of my nose. I wear shade NW20. This concealer costs €23.50.

That's my little round up of some of my favourite MAC products. What's your favourite makeup products? It doesn't have to be MAC. I'm very much open to all suggestions on these sort of things! Hope you enjoyed this post and if there's anything in particular you'd like me to write more about please let me know!

Hope you have a lovely week!

Love,

Maria
