What is the big deal with Mac cosmetics?

I see so many questions on what is best this %26amp; that %26amp; I've not found anything in Mac that's a good deal or that hot of a product. Some of the same quality is in Avon %26amp; Mary Kay %26amp; some other big companies that are sold hand to hand %26amp; have a guarantor right in your neighborhood.What is the big deal with Mac cosmetics?
Basically I think it's just so people can tell others they are wearing MAC and everyone knows it's expensive. With their foundation, I saw nothing special and actually didn't like it. I know they have tons of great eye shadow colors, but I believe it has more to do with them being able to say it's MAC. What is the big deal with Mac cosmetics?
i dont like their foundations, nor their lipgloss. I feel as though the foundation is too heavy , and the glosses are too sticky -and i hate overly sticky gloss. And the stuff is really expensive- I can buy 5 lipglosses for 20 at Vickies Secret , and i know that stuff will last at least an hour . I do however , like the brightness of their eyeshadows , but I refuse to pay 15 for one eyeshadow , im not rich like that , and I have common-economical sense to not spend that kind of money on one eyeshadow.


However, liking makeup is subjective. You may like one brand , and I may not like that brand. Its all about finding the makeup that works for you and highlites your best features
Different reasons.. if you go into Macy's compared to other brands.. the lipsticks...lipglosses..eyeshadows and blushes are typically cheaper than that of Estee Luader.. or Shiseido.. or Lancome...or Chanel...or Dior..





They have a wide selection of newly changing limited edition..a lot of models and actresses in movies use MAC...





I dont think theyre foundation is the best.. as it does tend to break me out..but theyre blushes, eyeshadows, and lipsticsk are all excellent staying power,..along with highly pigmented..and a great price..
They have awesome products that make you look flawless. They are expensive but you get what you pay for....even their brushes make a huge difference...their products are nothing like avon and mary kay. Their products have higher pigments for better color and more bold statements.
M.A.C. is my favorite cosmetics company. They have a huge selection of eyeshadow, their mineral powder is awesome, I love all their eyeliners (liquid and pencil.) They are a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for, and in my opinion, M.A.C. is worth it! :)
did you know the majority of mac's products aren't REALLY mac's? they are part of a franchise with other companies... whose make-up really isn't all that and a bag of chips.
It's a really good company. They have wide variety and really good eyeshadows and everything. x]
They have a wide selection and (i think personally) a lot of stuff lasts and is good quality
Its good company, but they have wide selection of things.



its amazing :)
Nothing. Many people tend to like MAC because they think it is better than any other brand on this planet even though they don't know there is not much difference from a generic brand. Sure, MAC might be a good brand but to me, it's just plainly an overrated make up brand. All makeup ingredients and formulas in MAC as just as similar in any other brand you would find in Walgreens or at Target. It might be one or two ingredients off, but hey, it's not like you know what their purposes are anyway.





The only reason why MAC is expensive is because the company has to pay factory for designing labels, fancy packaging, and advertisement so that the product looks for attracting and opulent. They just put the makeup together which is probably worth about $2 or even less and slap on some nice MAC labels and makes you pay $20. Just because there is a MAC label. lol. Mac companies have to also pay salespeople to exude and persuade people into trying their samples and hopefully getting them into buying it. Cover girl and Maybelline is less expensive because no one goes around and lets you tests their things...or have a sales representative help you put on the item. I can just honestly say, I don't feel stupid at all not for shopping there. I'm not going to pay $14-$20 just for a jar of eyeshadow that I might not even be using everyday and only has a shelf life of one year.





It's not the brand you buy, whether cheap or expensive, it's about whether you know how to apply the makeup correctly and picking the right color for your skin. I use Wet N Wild and L'Oreal brands and I get compliments alll the time.





Besides, the economy is running pretty bad, who has $$ to even afford that? Plain stupid and hyped. =)
