MAC things you hate or don't like

[charmedimsure]

The mascara is so awful. I swear by Katie B faux lash mascara (I've tried all the major brands [lancome, estee lauder, clinique, benefit, etc... and none are as good as this)

Black tied eye shadow-glitter is too big and chunky

Paints-they crease

Beautiful Iris & parfait amour eye shadows-they make me look like I got punched in the eyes

Sweet lust eye shadow- looks gorgeous in the pot, awful on my eyes

 

[chipmunkvoice]

The lipstick packaging shape .......... it looks like a large tampon :x The Moonbathe packaging is creamy-white so its going to look even more like a tampon.

........... yes, im weird. hahaha but i dont think im the only one .. or am i?

MAC Mascara. ugh, horrible! I hate it. It's too clumpy. Anyone know of a makeup line that has great Mascara??

MAC MSF Natural. I broke out so bad along the side of my cheeks.

 

[Showgirl]

Glitz glosses - rubbish, cheap 'n nasty looking
Paintsticks - I find 'em waaaaaaaay too dry
Violet Trance, Melton Mauve and Pro Plum e/s - horridness, *so* hard to get colour payoff without getting a yukky texture

Definitely not

Not so much a rant about product as a rant about Mac... why cant they release new collections that are truly new? It seems like everything gets released within a two month period and then they look like other collections! Sheesh cut a mu addict a break here Mac!

 

[blindpassion]

I hate the Mascara... which I'm kind of surprised about, because I LOVE estee lauders mascaras, they are the only ones I'll use... hopefully Estee Lauders ownership puts some quality back into MAC mascaras.

Umm I hate that the shadesticks dry out so badly, but I like shadesticks.
I hate the clear gloss because its SOOOOO sticky

I dont hate any of the eyeshadows...
I returned moisterizer from MAC once... the only thing Ive returned because I didn't like it.
I think that's about it

 

[blindpassion]

And I dont like all of MACS limited edition collections... I usually dont buy from them because A: they just catch you with the hype and get you to buy it all. B: Theres USUALLY a product thats comparable thats perminate (with the exeption of things like MSF's and such)

 

[beverlyjean]

for sure the shadesticks, i've purchased like 8 of them and overcast has been the worst, it was already dry when i bought it, and doesnt work AT ALL!16 bucks down the drain

 

[stellarx1587]

I'd probably say the products I really don't like are:

- Lip Varnish (SOOO sticky... and drying... one of the worse buys IMO)
- Glitz Gloss (Those were just useless)
- Studio Fix Fluid (WAAY too cakey on me. Even with a light app w/ a moist sponge)

That's all I can really think of right now...

 

[landonsmother]

their loser MASCARA'S & lustre eye shadows. i sold all my lustre's because it's too glittery when applied & the fall out is really bad. it gets all over your face & makes your face sparkle even after cleaning up all the residue!

 

[Karen_B]

I actually like everything I've tried from MAC so far, apart from some individual products like Sunpepper pigment because of the chunkiness.

 

[La Ilusion]

I haven't come across a product group I don't like yet, but there are some individual items that I don't care for.

Chrome Yellow e/s tempted me so! And then I ordered it, received it, ... was disappointed with it. I'm NC42-43, and I can't get it to show up on me. It's too dry -- puffs away into the air like sickly dull pixie dust. Bases don't help much either.

Mythology e/s is beautiful in the pot and I'm sure it works well for people lighter or darker than me, but it was too close to my skin tone even though it's pinky. I gave it to my mother, and she likes it.

But, thankfully, sometimes hate can turn to love! I used to be anti-Lustre e/s. But I recently rediscovered my Honey Lust and now I can't get enough! I apply it wet over Bronze CCB and it makes my lids look wet and glossy and fabulous. Plus, I find that applying with a wet brush reduces fallout immensely. (Tipping my head back while applying also helps a great deal.)

 

[neeshie]

I have yet to meet a MAC foundation I like.
I hate lustre eyeshadows cos they have too much glitter
Not a huge fan of their mascaras either

 

[M.A.C_Addiction]

I HATE MSF's! Like, what is the madness with these? IMO, they don't give me healthy glow, just makes me look like a glitter disaster! Ughhh!

Lipglass, what a sticky mess.

Chunky pigments, such as Helium.

Matte E/S, they don't work on me at all. TOO chalky.

 

[XxMAC-AtTaCkxX]

i feel like a freak now cos i ove the zoom lash mascara

i guess it depends what type of eyelashes you have though....
well im really glad i didnt pay good money for the select spf15 foundation (stole it from my mother lol) my skin just absorbed it like it was a freakin moisturiser!!!

i dont like the matte e/s cos they dont really make my eyes pop i need a bit of shimmer in my life!!
I have no problem wit the kohl pencils i just know i could get just as good quality ones cheaper....

 

[Kiseki]

Stuff I dislike in MAC? Hmm...

Their mascaras, I can get better results with drugstore stuff.
I have yet to find a MAC concealer that I like or that actually works for me.
Any product of their skincare line except the wipes, specially the Green Gel Cleanser and the Microfine Refinisher, words alone can't describe my hatred for those two.

 

[SeXy MAC LuveR]

I dont like studio tech it goes into all of your face crevices and kinda looks cakey..oh and the eye kohls smear under my eyes too however the color payoff is pretty good...and the cream color base in the white color it creases like nothing else!!!

 

[fantasyar]

I don't like:

-Vainilla e/s (it goes chalky for me)
-Blushcreme ( gives me greasy feeling)
-Shadesticks (hard to work with)
-MSF natural (broke me out )

 

[_trimm_trabb]

Their foundations and mascaras are awful. I love creme foundations but theirs all have problems - too heavy, too cakey, too oily, etc etc. I loove Lola's sheer creme foundation duo in light. And for mascara, I prefer Bourjois and Napoleon.

I don't hate their blush, however I don't use it because I just think NARS is considerably better.

Everything else I've used I like with a few exceptions. The occasional odd eyeshadow that just doesn't work for me, the overly sticky lipglass (I prefer lustreglass), etc.
