This is a cute little boutique MAC store. Really your experience will be based upon your needs and the Artist you just happen to vibe with. For me it’s been a hit or miss. I’m not a huge fan of Mac make up. I know some people swear by Mac but maybe it’s just my skin type or my complexion. I came in for a concealer and foundation. The artist working mismatched me on both. To be fair I do have an odd skin type and coloring. Usually for me products have to be specially blended. However one artist did do a superb job and matching a discontinued lip color for me. If you’re just looking for a quick make up tips or a nice makeover check this place out. The stylist are friendly and accommodating.

This review is for the MAC store, not the kiosk in Macy’s. I went into MAC to purchase makeup for my wedding. The staff was so very friendly. Angie helped me pick all of my colors, listened to my concerns, offered helpful suggestions, and showed me how to utilize my products. She did my makeup for me(one eye in a gold color and the other in a plum so I could see which I might like best). She has a great eye for colors because I liked everything she picked for me and these are not normally colors I would choose or wear. I read some reviews about the MAC stores being snobby but I did not encounter that at all. Everyone was fun, polite, helpful, and knowledgable about their products. I was not sure how expensive these products would be. They are not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but I found their prices to be pretty on par with things like Smashbox(another fav!). Lastly, not only can you turn in 6 of your empty plastic containers and receive a free product but they donate money for each product with the red/fuschia container. Who knew?

(This review is for the Macy’s MAC — not the one located in the mall) Came to the MAC Makeup Artist this past weekend to get my make up done for a wedding. I arrived about 30 minutes earlier and thankfully they still took me because I was running a little late. Marilyn, Maryann, Sue-lyn(sorry I am terrible with names), but a VERY nice lady with the cutest dreads did my makeup. I don’t like to toot my own horn but TOOTTOOT! I looked amazing. I asked for something not too flashy that will make my eyes pop and she did just that. Not only did she do an amazing job but she explained the process of applying the makeup as well. The entire night I received compliments on my make up and I felt gorgeous! I hardly wear makeup because I hate the way it feels on my face especially after a long night, but at the end of the night I still felt as beautiful as I did when I first saw my transformation. Granted to you have to spend $ 50+ to get your makeup done it is well worth it. I gave all the products I brought to my Mum, but my next paycheck I think I am going to start up my own makeup kit. Thank you so much Ms for doing an amazing job on my makeup.
