My Latest Beauty Finds at Mac Cosmetics


Hi there my beautiful lovelies! Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. Today I will share with you my latest beauty finds at Mac Cosmetics. I love the products from Mac Cosmetics.

To be honest, when I first started buying makeup products years ago, I first started at Mac Cosmetics. I love their products but it was hard for a novice makeup person to find her way through Mac. It was hard for me to navigate through the vast collection at Mac. The only item I absolutely loved is their lipsticks. At Sephora, I had someone color match the products to my skin tone, and learn the basics of makeup and beauty products. Once I learned about my skin tone and type along with my products suited to my skin tone and type, I was able to use that to buy more beauty products at Mac Cosmetics.

After a long time, I finally did a small shopping spree (with cash of course) at Mac Cosmetics. I got the following items: Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, Mac Studio Fix Perfecting Powder, Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Got A Callback, and Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Over The Taupe.

Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation ($33)

It is a one-step pressed powder and foundation that gives skin a 12-hour ultra-matte finish while controlling shine and without causing acne. It does not look cakey at all. I give a light no-makeup makeup look. This foundation gives skin a smooth and even ultra-matte finish with medium-to-full buildable coverage, with a velvety texture that allows the skin to breathe. M∙A∙C Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is long-wearing, color-true, non-caking, non-streaking, and non-settling – all for 12 hours.

Mac Studio Fix Perfecting Powder ($29)

A pro-quality, refined loose powder to set makeup with a matte finish. Infused with nourishing ingredients, it wears comfortably without feeling drying. With sheer coverage, M∙A∙C Studio Fix Perfecting Powder is a universal makeup must for beginners and buffs alike.

Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Got A Callback ($24)

This is a liquid lipcolour with a whipped, mousse-like texture that delivers soft-focus moisture-matte, comfortable color with ten hours of hydration. I love the way the color looks on my skin tone. The special blend of vitamin E, powders, and emollient properties provides excellent cushion, flexibility, wear, and moisture that will leave lips looking and feeling soft and smooth all day.

Powder Kiss Liquid LipColour in Over The Taupe ($24)

This is a nude tone. I love the color. I love wearing nude colors at work on a regular basis. I again love the way it looks on my skin tone. and the soft, hydrating, and yet matte lip color.

Verdict: Overall, I love each of the products that I got at Mac. Through items, Mac does live up to its reputation as a provider of quality beauty products. While trying these items, I went back to my regular trip to the Mac Store in Union Station in Washington D.C. I love the interactions, the quality you never get online.

My dear lovelies! I hope you enjoy the post as much as I loved sharing it. Please let me know about your favorite products at Mac Cosmetics.
