MAC Makeup: One Of Deb’s Favorite Things

MAC makeup is definitely one of my favorite things!  Just thinking about it get s me so excited!  Now, I know MAC isn’t always within every budget, but if you can afford just one lipstick or pressed powder, you should add it to your make up bag.

I was introduced to MAC makeup early on in my career as a television host by my makeup artist.  The color palette is amazing and MAC comes in all forms, from every day enhancement to full coverage.   We all have make up drawers that are full of makeup we used once and never touched again.  Sure that eye shadow only cost 5 bucks, but if you have 4 or 5 of them like we all do, that can be over $25.00 on make up we aren’t even using.   How many lipsticks do you have in your makeup drawer?  OK, now how many of those do you actually use?  Glosses are another pain!  I used to have an entire make up bag of nothing but greasy gooey glosses!  When I opened my make up drawer, I used to feel overwhelmed with the jumbled mess looking back at me.  I didn’t even use half this stuff and yet I never got rid of it.

Now, MAC isn’t cheap, but it is moderate compared to some lines out there.  You can always get help at the MAC counter.  I used to feel intimidated by  the “MAC girls”, but then I realized, even though I am old enough to be their mother, I still need makeup and let’s face it, I am not using my allowance, I have disposable income!  At first I was scared the MAC rep would try to talk me into that  goth-I-just-got-bit-by-a-vampire-look,  but she was very pleasant and helpful.  Now that I know the colors and formulas that work for me, I order on line from the MAC website and keep my eye open for shipping specials.

MAC is a great product.  The foundations, concealers and powders all go on like a dream and last through out the day.  The lipsticks and glosses are fresh and pretty and never greasy or gloopy.   The eye shadows are beautiful and go from daytime and natural to dramatic and sexy.   Even though the products don’t go on sale, the price points are moderate; and let’s think back to that makeup drawer of bargain buys we don’t even use!  There is always an in store representative or an on line expert available to help you.  Exchanges and returns are handled professionally and MAC even has a recycle program for empty containers.  MAC sponsors good will charities and so you can buy products to make you look good and feel good and pass the blessings on to others.

MAC is one of my favorite things.  Even when I wear just my  MAC Love Child LipGlass to pick up kids at school, I feel quite pretty!
