Non Disney question for the make up wearing women out there. I rarely wear make up. The last time I bought make up was 2 years ago(other then mascera). I have benefit make up but it's time to replace it. I was thinking about MAC make up. There is a MAC store near us. But I don't know much about the price and quality of MAC. I don't mind paying good money for high quality. Any suggestions would help
MAC is great stuff. Good quality, department store priced and up. I am a benefit and philosophy girl myself. - Suzie-Q

MAC is amazing. And if you rarely wear makeup, one round of products will last you a long time. - Marieeezy

Here goes. Mac really shouldn't be worn fit mre than an hour or two. Very drying and too heavy. Mascara replace at least every 6 months. Dept store vs drug store? If you like lancome, get loreal instead. Mary Kay and wet n wild have very good items without the average dept store minimum of 70% markup. Anything else you wanna know ask this old cosmetics hag. - Butterlina

I use a hodge-podge of stuff..some MAC, some Benefit, some Smashbox but overall MAC is a very good line. I'll be stocking up at the end of the month when they come out with their Disney Villains collection. - VillainsFan

I've only used MAC eye makeup before. I've used Estee Lauder, Clinique and Bare Minerals before but had to go back to Revlon because of finances. My advice would be to try the make up before you buy. Ask them if they can give you samples. MAC used to charge for getting a makeover, they wanted you to buy some of the products used. Try first before buying. - Diznimom

Do not use the bacteria ridden testers other than maybe on your wrist. Ewwww. - Butterlina

Paging Bitterlina...who do you think makes the best foundation? Lots of people raved to me about Armani, bought some, don't love it. - VillainsFan

Thanks so much for the help. I think I will go to MAC this weekend and see what tgey have - AdaliseAndAurorasMommy

Depends on what type of formulation you want and coverage. Armani is actually pretty good. If you want coverage, you may consider a professional line. Shu uemura is very good. Ingredients to avoid: isopropyl
myristate. It's synthetic coconut oil and a kniwn skim irritant. - Butterlina

I love MAC but it's pricey. The only reason I buy it is cause my friend works there and gets me a 65% discount. If not for that I'd be WalMarting it up - MrsJackSparrow

Look into o
perhaps mehron, korff, oh Calvin Klein had a good line I dunno if it's drill out there - Butterlina

Good I ingredient in powders and foundations: titanium dioxide. It's pigmentation but also acts as a physical rather than chemical sunblock. - Butterlina
1307.4 #61 4:54PM
Thanks for the recommendations.. The Armani just looks sort of chalky on my skin. Tried a primer to see if that helped but it didn't really make a difference. On to Shu uemura.. - VillainsFan

To stop eyeliner melting, after applying put a matching eyeshadow over it (similar colour I mean) using a tapered applicator. The shadow will "set" the liner - BLG

Sorry I did not mean to hijack. Laming. Lol. But it is stuff I know about. Now back to our lead story. - Butterlina

Not hi-jacking, just giving good input. I'm "liking" this thread so I'll have quick access to all this info. - VillainsFan

Good tip BLG..i always end up having racoon eyes - MrsJackSparrow

I like MAC but it is expensive. I would suggest having them do your makeup and then wear it home before you buy anything. I've found that it can look different at home and also I like to see how it holds up for a part of the day. Have fun! - RocklinMousewife

I guess it depends what you are shopping for. MAC is great for shadows the make great tones for multi purposes. But for foundation it's super heavy and it's called photo finish because it helps remove all flaws for photography type shoots but for every day it can be too much for sensitive skin and you could see and increase in break outs which I am sure you're trying to avoid. I really love stilla for a solid power foundation. Goes on super thin but great coverage. I use a Mary Kay moisturizer tint because I just need a little coverage. Take a look around and if you have a sephoria go and walked around that store is amazing - Smart.tea

If you need a good mascara fresh by supernova @ sephora is amazing. Looks like you have false lashes on and doesn't flake or get clumpy no matter how many coats you apply. It's a little pricy $25 I believe, but very worth it. - Nicole

I absolutely love MAC!!! The Studio Fix Foundation Powder is best! Along with their Lipglass, lipsticks & Glittered Shadows. The best mascara is the lash extender in waterproof from Sephora - I also love their liquid minerals foundation - and with the one at DTD you can use your AP discount! They also carry Buxum Lipgloss to plump your lips and Smashbox which has great eyeshadows! - RoyannaF

I've been wearing MAC for years and I use their foundation probably 3-4 times a week. In order to reduce heaviness, use a foundation brush. Don't use your fingers because of the bacteria on your hands and sponges make foundation look cakey. - Marieeezy

I totally hate it when can't find good makeup! LOL... - Mousedad

My wife only uses mac and your right it lasts forever......figuratively of course. - Tolkienapostle

It may not be very popular, but I've used Merle Norman for years. The ladies in the store will help you select the perfect colors, and show you how to apply everything. Their prices are very reasonable too - TinkPen

Smashbox here.The other day on the news they were talking about some new makeup kit at Target for $30. Supposedly it got rave reviews. Sorry forgot the name. - Dizkid

This may sound weird coming from a guy but when I was in theater there were a few people who were just totally allergic to stage makeup and used MAC instead. It isn't the cheapest but the quality is awesome and the selections are really cool too - BlueberryCrusader

MAC is really great. I used to use Merle Norman because a friend gave it to me for years for free. It was pretty good. I used MAC for our wedding and absolutely love it. However, I'm not choosey. I get Avon and other brands as well! - Disneybird
