Review: Makeup Art Cosmetics (M.A.C)
You’ve all heard of the brand, but maybe you haven’t tried it yet? Well today I’m about to tell you why you need to head out to your nearest M.A.C counter, ASAP.
The Brand:
Before becoming a necessary stop at the mall, Make-up Art cosmetics, better known as M.A.C products, were created specifically to be used by make-up artists. Over the years, with its supernova of shades, animal cruelty free products and exciting collaborations (read: Lady Gaga, Disney, DC Comics). Today, it’s one of the most loved make-up brands in the world, only today everybody can use it. Initially introduced to create high-fashion looks without having to resort to stage make-up, you can now use it to create high-fashion at home.
Why it’s for you?
Have you ever been to a M.A.C store? It’s like candyland for beauty junkies (I see you nodding your heads). They have an unbelievably wide array of colours and skin tones so you’ll always be sure to find something that works for you. They make it impossibly hard to leave empty handed. Plus, M.A.C.products use natural oils, making them less likely to break you out! Not to mention how they’re incredibly innovative and are always coming up with fun, theme-based ranges as well as fabulous collabs with everybody from Manish Arora to Hello Kitty. They are a complete package of variety, sexy packaging, and interesting products. Convinced yet?
Be sure to try:
1) Prep+Prime Skin: Easily one of the best primers out there- really minimizes pores, blots out oil without making your skin too dry for smoother application of make-up.
2) Paint Pots: Incredibly pigmented eyeshadow, comes on creamy but dries to perfect, vibrant colour. The perfect product for all eyeshadow lovers out there!
3) Studio Finish Concealer: When they say studio finish, they really mean it. This waterproof concealer with SPF 35 offers light coverage, smooth application and is lightweight despite being creamy. Say goodbye to ugly, under-eye concealer creases.

A year out of school; still a student but also a fashion blogger who spends her days trawling through quotes by Kerouac on Tumblr, finishing assignments while watching endless episodes of Friends, or obscure movies and doodling in the margins. I am slightly obsessed with Ricardo Tisci and (this is a recent development) Raf Simmons, bad music, good books, superhero movies, and Diwali lights. I like to write, I like to read, and most of all I like to write about fashion.
