hey guys I hope you're having afantastic do so far and I hope so backto get a little bit better today I'mgoing to be talking about my favoriteMac products and I have them all in alittle basket here those of you thatdon't know I used to work for Mac Ithink it was actually like six years agoand also before we get into it I justwanted to mention that I in real timehave just undergone lower jaw surgery Ihad jaw surgery on Saturday to 29th sothis video I think should be going uplike the day after I've had the surgeryI film this in advanceobviously I filmed this a week before mysurgery and I actually have like and asyou can see what I have like button andbrackets along the front of my teethI've got braces and the inside of myteeth and I have them on the front of myteeth on the outside for post surgerythey're going to be like elastic elasticaiding wiring my mouth shut essentiallyfor for like a week and also any othervideos that you see for pretty much thenext month have all been pre-recorded Ihave been working like a maniac tryingto pre film so that I have contentscheduled for a while I'm recoveringafter my surgery I'm going to be superswollen and stuff so I won't be able tofilm for about a month okay now thatthat's out of the way let's get on tothe favorite Mac products I realize thatI have so many skin products and likenot a whole lot of anything else kind ofinteresting first up I'm going to startwith strobe creamI think strobe cream is in most makeupartist kit it is a moisturizer that youcan use as a primer or a body lotion andit has the most beautiful sheen and it'slike a metallic kind of duochromepearly Sheen and it makes skin lookamazing it makes it look so glowy reallylit from within and it works beautifullyon the body to highlight the body acrossthe collarbone on like shoulders andlegs it looks amazing in photographs andso a lot of makeup artists use it forshoot and I only have one foundationkind of in this and it is Mac's face andbody so I don't really get on well witha lot of Mac foundations because theytend to break me out an awful loss but Iabsolutely love Mac's face and bodyfoundation it's a really really thinwatery formula like so liquidy when youput it on it's really really sheer butthen if you start to blend it inkind of starts to almost thicken andthen it sets and once it's set it'sreally long wearing it looks like skinlike it does not look like makeup at alland you can build it up to be kind of amedium coverage that will never go fullcoverage and you can use it as like amixing medium with other more fullcoverage foundations or you can mix itwith like and like shimmery pigments tocreate like a shimmery body lotion witha bit of coverage like it's just it's agood kind of versatile product to havein your case it does have a really shinydewy finish so so I find the only time Ican ever really use this on my skin iswhen I'm in a very cold dry climate ifI'm ever on holidays in Europe at winterI do use this foundation but most of therest of the time my skin is too oily forit alright next these are the Mac Proconceal and correct palettes these areamazing I swear I use this probablyevery day but this is a concealerpalette and it's got its the studiofinish concealer that's in here so youcan buy them in little individual potsas well but I absolutely love thesepalettes so you get four shades ofconcealer you have two pink base twoyellow base and you put two colorcorrectors if you've got a pinky salmoncolor corrector and a yellow colorcorrector you would be surprised howmuch I use every single shade I tend touse the yellow tone concealers forredness on my skin and then the pinktone concealers for like dark areas ofmy face so if I have like pigmentationcaused by a breakage or under my eyesand then you have the color correctorsand it is just such a beautiful textureso creamy blends amazingly and it reallystays put like it's surprising how longit lasts considering how creamy it is Ijust love being able to like give anddab my brush which you can probably tellis what I do because it's absolutelyfilthy and disgusting next is a productthat I use in a recent tutorial on howto keep makeup on a breakout and I'lllink that in a card and in thedescription box but this is the prep andPrime's can refine them and this is askin primer you use it underneath yourfoundation your concealer but it isunlike any other primer I've ever usedit's more like an eyeshadow primer thana skin primer so when you apply it it'svery liquidy very fluid E and then itdries and it's sex and it's- like a griffie kind of rubberizedfinish but it's got salicylic acid in itso it helps to keep kind of oily areasof your skin from getting congested butit is unbelievable at keeping makeup inplace and it holds on to the makeup andit does not budge and it's great acontrolling oil in those areas – next isanother skin product like I said so manybase products it is Mac Studio Fixpyrrha plus foundation this is like oneof the OG Mac products such a greatpowder it is a full coverage powderfoundation and it is super fine superlike almost creamy powder and it is sohigh coverage so you can easily wear itby itself as a foundation or you can useit to set your foundation to add morecoverage I use it sometimes as aconcealer like with a little pencilbrush just to add a little bit morecoverage I just love it I use it for somany different things and it is theultimate handbag like emergencytouch-ups compacts because it has thecoverage it mattifies and it blendsreally easy so absolutely love thatproduct and then another powder slightlydifferent but also beautiful is the Macmineralized skinfinish this is a minerala bacon mineral powder it doesn't haveas much coverage as the Mac Studio Fixbut you can wear it by itself and itjust gives like a it just kind of filledwith something on your skin it's like apowder version of a tinted moisturizerwhen you put it over a foundation itmattifies but it doesn't flatten theskin so you still have actually I'mwearing it on my skin and across myt-zone right now and I still have likeyou can see like a little bit of a sheenthere so if you if you like setting yourfoundation but you don't want your skinto look totally masked then this is agreat option move away from skin I dowant to just say that I love Maceyeshadows and I love Mac blushes but Ifeel like they're no better than amakeup geek eyeshadow there are so manydifferent brands that do amazingeyeshadows now I think it used to bethat Mac kind of has not Leone color Idon't think that's the case anymore Ithink there are just tons of companiesdoing amazing eyeshadows Anastaciomakeup keep like but I do still have areal soft spot for mac lipsticks I thinkin terms of color selections they'repretty much unbeatable like you can getalmost any color and their formulas arereally lovely too I just went through mywhole classI think my three favorite or at leastthe three colours that I probably usethe most are one that I'm wearing rightnow which is review you probably alreadycan guess I'm going to say kind of sexywhich is a really lovely kind of nudiePT pink gorgeous warm kind of 60s colorand then relentlessly red which is likemore of a Coralie kind of hot pink redit's a beautiful I wore this in myvacation makeup tutorial if you want tosee what that looks like on can you hearthat I think that's a motorbike goingpast and then while we're talking aboutlips I also absolutely love the Mac lippencils again I just think they have areally great selection of color and Ireally like the texture like they arethey're just like regular pencils thatyou sharp and although they do have arange of retractable like mechanicalpencils as well which I don't like asmuch because I feel like they set andthen they go a little bit like clumpywhereas the regular pencils that yousharpen are just they're just a littlebit smoother a little bit creamier butthey're not so smooth and creamy thatthey rub off like they're very longwearing and you can sharpen them to anice point like they're nice they'requite hard so you can get a reallyreally good point so you can get areally nice precise edge next is Mac'spainterly paint-potso this is a cream eyeshadow that I useas a primer some people find it's greatas a primer other people don't think itlasts long enoughfor me it works well this is just theperfect color for me it is exactly myskin color I have freckle skin well nowthat I've had freckles not so much but Istill have a lot of like freckles anduneven tone on my eyelid because Ididn't get Fraxel there and I also havelike veins and I have a lot of differentcolors going on my eyelids so when I usea primer I really like one that even outmy skin tone as well as provides like anice grip for the eyeshadow and helps itto last longer so this I find when I usethis well I thought it just looks betterblended it looks smoother it the colorscome it more vibrant and I just I justhaven't found one that I've preferred soI really really like that and thenfinally of course I have to mention acouple of brushes again I feel like Macfor the longest time really held amonopoly on brushes for makeup artistsand they had the best selection ofbrushes but that's not the case anymorelike you've got zoeva you've got Sigmathere's tons of brands moresee that you can buy like very specificbrushes for a lot less than what Maccharge but there are still a couple ofbrushes that I haven't really foundequivalents for and that I always I willalways use and the first is the Mac oneis is called the 138th brush this is atapered like teardrop shaped brush it'sso soft and it's just the perfect shapefor so many different things you use itI use it for powder for contour forbronzer for blush for highlights andthere is this process the Sigma F 25which is very similar to it but it'sjust a little bit pointy err so it Ijust it's great and it is the closestthing I sign to it but it's just not asnice and then there's also the zoevalooks face to finer and if you can seethe looks face finer is a lot fatterit's a lot kind of chubbier the Sigmaone is a lot skinnier and then themasculine is just like it's just likeGoldilocks it's just perfectit's just right and then finally the Mactwo one seven Mac 217 like the iconiceyeshadow blending brush I I have somany equivalents of this brush betweenlike so many different brands and yet Ialways always will use my 207 if it'sclean before I would use any of the restof them I feel like it's just thepositioning of the hairs the densitykind of the resistance the shape it'sjust perfect for my eye shape and ofcourse that's going to be different foreverybody but it's just like sits soperfectly into my pocket I will justlove this brush till the day that I goand there you go there are my favoritemy top picks from Mac there are some ofthe products that I would recommend acomplete newbie to Mac to go and check aso I really hope
