When you shop(actually buy, or just go to browse) MAC, for what purpose do you usually do it? 1) To replace/repurchase/back up a favorite tried-and-true item 2)To check out a new collection 3)To see if there's something I might have overlooked in the past. 4)Just to drool, and bask in the...

First of all, I just bought my first MAC lip pencil, "Cherry," and it is GRRRREAT! Are they all this good? Which brings me to my second question: What would be a good MAC pencil to go with bright pinks, like "Girl About Town" and "Rocking Chick?"

Why I plan to never spend another cent at J.C. Penney for the rest of my life: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16597610/

Does anyone else coordinate, if not match, their blush and lipcolor? Or am I a fossilized dinosaur?

We've talked some about MAC products that we would camp out all night for, pay a ridiculous price for, sell organs on eBay for, etc. Are there any that you could live without? There haven't been many for me, just a couple of lipsticks, and really just one pigment were serious disappointments...

As a Christmas gift, I'm planning to buy a makeup-savvy- but- new- to- MAC friend one of the Dress Sets. Do you all think I should give her the pigments or the Lipglasses?

What are your pet makeup peeves? Personally, I hate too-dark foundation and all-one-color bright eyeshadow. Also dark lipliner+ pale lips. I realize that others think this looks great, and that's fine, but I personally don't care for it. Anyone else?

Is there a secret to achieving great-looking creases with powder eyeshadow? I can do just about every other makeup technique well, but my creases tend to look blotchy and messy. I recently got a Bobbi Brown eye smudge brush for this purpose, and it's actually helped quite a bit, but I'm still...

What type of brush do you all prefer for blending [powder] eyeshadow once it's applied? Or, do you even bother with a brush, and just use your finger instead?

This morning I tried something that the rest of the makeup world probably thought of a long time ago. I dipped my lipstick directly into mica shimmer powder(a lip-safe MAC Pigment works nicely, but you can find inexpensive mica powders very easily on the internet) before applying. The result was...

I just want to tell everyone to not be afraid of MAC's "Magenta" powder blush, which looks absolutely terrifying in the pan. Since I like bold colors and own a big fluffy blush brush, I ordered "Magenta" sight unseen from the MAC website, and was astonished to find that, when carefully and...

I'm trying to get my MAC buying habit under control. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? So far, I have told myself that I will NOT buy a MAC product unless: -It is unlike anything I already have. -I have actually *run out* of something, and therefore "need" it. -It is so...

How did you learn about make-up? Did a savvy friend or relative "tutor" you, did you figure it out for yourself, or did you study magazines? Or all of the above? It was mostly the last two, for me. Both my mother and my sister wore make-up, but they didn't take it that seriously. It wasn't...

Which of the MAC silver pigments looks most like "Silver Metal?" I know all the silver pigments are Pro, but I think I can buy them through a friend. Thanks!

Do those of you who own the MAC #224 brush like it for crease work? I've been having a problem with shading the creases of my eyes lately, and the 224 brush was recommended to me by a MA as The Crease Brush. But before I buy, I'd like to know what you all think.

I'd like to give a couple of MAC pigments as a birthday gift to a friend who is fascinated with them(I give her samples) but has never owned a full size. I've tried asking her which one she likes best, but she just says, "I don't know...; depends on whether I use it for eyes or lips....." She...

What blush do you all suggest wearing with MAC "Wild 'Bout You" lipstick? I have "high contrast" coloring, so I don't at all mind a little drama.

Yesterday, my dental hygienist and I were talking makeup. Naturally I mentioned MAC, and the hygienist replied, "I've heard of MAC, but I've never tried it; what's so special about it?" I said, "Their quality is very high, and they offer lots of colors that nobody else does." I had a difficult...

What do you all suggest as a gift for a friend of mine?She is of Greek ancestry, and has olive skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. She is very busy, as a mother of two teenagers, and with her career as a teacher. She has a very casual no-fuss style that doesn't include makeup, but I think she'd...

I just read an article in the Dallas Morning News about the increasing occurence of spin-offs in the retail world. Do you all think that MAC should launch a spin-off? If so, what should the spin-off(s) be like? I personally would like to see spin-offs featuring products designed for women of...
