In the below makeup video, I talk about my mac collection. It's not
extensive and I love it that way. As already mentioned, I would hate to
be forced to buy only from one brand. Variety is important in makeup, I
think.
If you are a
beginnner and you wish to invest in MAC, choose wisely. Go
for great "basics" first. I list what I consider to be a great MAC
starter kit below, for a complete look with MAC products. But remember,
the eyeshadows I mention are only my preference, choose the ones that
you love the most.
MY
MAC MAKEUP COLLECTION
A MAC
starter kit
The first
great basic product to purchase is your
foundation. You'll wear it every day so this is
a good investment. Just make sure you have the
right color for your skin tone.
A blotting
powder (or translucent) is needed to set the foundation.
This will make sure your foundation stays in place all day.
The third
basic is some great eyeshadows. I suggest you pick 3
colors (2 neutral beige/browns/nude pink like Ricepaper or Wedge and 1
darker brown/black like Swiss Chocolate or Charcoal). These colors are
so versatile, you'll wear them
day and night, and they suit every skin type or hair color. MAC
eyeshadows are expensive but they do last forever (well, not forever
but you know what I mean)
Then we have
eyeliner pencils to bring out your eyes. Go
for the versatile ones
first, like a black or dark brown. These colors suit every type of skin
and they will become a treasured purchase.
A great
mascara will "open" your eyes. MAC has some great ones
like Plush Lash or Mascara X, just stick to black though. It will
compliment any eye makeup look. If you wear mascara every day, these
will last you approximately 3 months.
And finally,
a great blush to complete your look. MAC blushes
are pricey so choose wisely. Invest in a color for your skintone. If
you are warm, go for peachy, if you are cool, go for pinks. These will
last you a very long time.
So there you have it. A great MAC makeup starter kit. With
these products, you can do a variety of looks and always look
groomed.
