Have you ever been curious about the makeup that you usually see on celebrities? You may not know it, but MAC makeup is one of the most popular makeup brands used by celebs and makeup artists for everything from movies and modeling shoots to regular every day use. Even better, that same brand of makeup is just as accessible for you and your friends. MAC Cosmetics has different lines available for professional makeup artists and the beauty lovers alike.
When it comes to MAC makeup, you can find cosmetics for the face, lips and eyes. Many of the cosmetics products are a part of one of MAC’s special product lines like Prep+Prime, Skincare, Mineralize, MAC Pro and Studio.
The Mineralize line uses all natural minerals to achieve that natural glow and the foundation/loose powder is SPF 15 which, when applied, provides a radiant as well as smooth finish. The minerals in this powder help to keep your skin healthy and is an excellent choice for medium cover. With its sun protection and natural products this is a great choice for any skin type.
The MAC Studio cosmetics line was made just for makeup professionals and features complete SPF 15 protection in the products. The items in this line include concealers, foundation and powders. A great concealer is the Studio Sculpt Concealer. You only need the smallest amount to make a large difference. The finish is matte and the formula is very creamy. It provides complete coverage. It also lasts a long time and is water resistant.
A popular and glam range of lipstick is the Viva Glam colors. The cost of the lipstick goes directly to funding AIDS and the first Viva Glam, a deep red color, was released in 1994. Since then the following colors have been released; Viva Glam II, a pinky mauve, Viva Glam III, a brown plum, Viva Glam IV, a rose color with gold, Viva Glam V, a neutral pink and Viva Glam VI a terracotta plum with pearl finish.
MAC also has a special line called MAC Pro Cosmetics which features products that were created especially for makeup artists. However, any of us can go to the MAC Pro and purchase some of the much coveted products ourselves and try them out. Just know that the colors in this line are a little more dramatic, vivid and the makeup products are often heavier to accommodate the needs of professional makeup artists.
One of the more popular and new eye line options if the Fluidline Eyeliner which is a gel/liquid liner. This liner creates a silk and soft look that lasts long and is smudge proof.
