MAC cosmetics..... mostly the EYESHADOWS...why are?

they so expensive and is it worth it. Also I am not much into makeup, I am 28 but now I want to learn how to put some on. Any good sites that show you, maybe some with video.. thanks to all!!!!!!MAC cosmetics..... mostly the EYESHADOWS...why are?
Mac is a high-end department store brand, they are higher priced than drugstore stuff because generally speaking they have better service (testing all products before buying), knowledgeable employees, and better ingredients like more pigment in their products. This doesn't mean all hgih-end is great and all low-end is horrible- it varies from brand to brand and product to product. And actually, relatively speaking it's not ';expensive';, it's one of the cheapest department store brands (compare to Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Laure Mercier, Stila, Dior, etc).





I think for the most part, MAC is worth it but it depends on how much disposable income you have and what your priorities are. Some people would rather go out to dinner or buy a new book than a few makeup items. Every brand has their good and bad products, just look around online for reviews (makeupalley.com is good) and go to a MAC counter to see what works on you.





Youtube has some great makeup tutorials, also check out any makeup counter for pointers and products catered to your skintype.MAC cosmetics..... mostly the EYESHADOWS...why are?
MAC eyeshadows are amazing. In fact, everything they have is amazing, except some of their foundations and mascaras aren't preferred by everyone. Anyways, they are definitely worth it, and last for years!! I've had one eyeshadow for about 2 years now and I just hit the pan, and still have lots left. As for make up application, I suggest heading over to youtube and searching ';make up application';.
Mac is totally worth it! It stays on all day and it doesn't break you out. You should make an appointment with a Mac consultant and let them show you how to wear your make up and what type of make up to wear. Even though some of them look like clowns they're still really good and won't over do it on you. Also if your just starting to wear make up try Mac's mineral line. Its very natural.
If you go the mac counter at belks they will show you how to put it on for free.You may need to make appt.I live in fla.We have a make up outlet so mac cosmetics are cheaper I dont know if you have outlets in your area but you also may try that.
If you go to a department store at the makeup counter they will help you learn how to put it on or you can get the girls together and have a mary-kay party!!! but I like to get makeup on eBay just use caution and make sure they are new!
if you go into the mac store, they will give step-by-step directions on how to apply it. it's expensive because it's good quality. it goes on easily, and stays on all day.
there eyeliners are really good, personally i think all eye shadow is kinda the same but mac has a huge selection of colors...but there bronzers and blushes are pretty good, my favorite MAC eyeliner is ';teddy';
watch how to apply eyeshadows on youtube, there are some great instructional videos out there!!!
