5 MAC Products I Use ALL THE TIME

The ones I reach for almost every single day.

Rewind the clock five years to when I'd just got my first full-time job after finishing my degree. I was working in the city and, for the first time ever, I was earning a consistent income (even if it was minimum wage). Sure, I saved almost every penny I could possibly spare, but every once in a while I'd treat myself to a takeaway coffee or something from the MAC counter. To this very day, MAC continues to be a consistent player in my makeup bag, so today I thought I would share with you the six MAC products I use all the time.

1. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer. NC20. My first ever MAC purchase was the Select Cover-Up concealer. Only recently have I swapped the Select Cover-Up for the Pro Longwear Concealer, which provides a longer lasting, full matte coverage, perfect for under eye brightening and blemish concealing.

2. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. Light Plus. I'd heard so amazing things about the entire MAC Skinfinish range, but I'd never got around to trying them myself because, well, powders don't really excite me. As it turns out, finding the perfect powder is beyond satisfying, and the ultra natural, satin finish MAC Minerlize Skinfinish Natural is that powder for me. Ask me in five years what is my favourite powder and I'll have the same answer.

3. MAC 24-Hour Extended Eye Base. I've never been able to find an eye primer as amazing as the Clinique All About Shadow Primer, until now. The MAC Extended Eye Base does exactly what it promises; stops eye makeup from creasing and fading.

4. MAC Eye Shadow X 15. Warm Neutral. Wow, wow, wow! At $135.00AUD, this is one pricey palette, but I have to say, it is worth the splurge. If I could only have one eye shadow palette for the rest of my life, it would be this one, complete with all the matte, satin and shimmering shades you could ever need.

5. MAC Matte Lipstick. MAC is known for their insane Lipstick Collection, so it's no surprise that I have a pretty decent personal stash. My two favourite shades are Velvet Teddy (of course!) and Mangrove.

I'd love to know, what are your go-to MAC products?
