Why Are People Acting Like MAC is Old News?

[@Ordgrill]

I’m a brown person and before all the inclusion hype started, Mac was the only brand that had my color shade and the only foundation I could use. They will always have a special place in my heart ❤️

[@shailashah9212]

I still feel studio fix fluid is the best match for my NC35 skin tone!

[@hrzv81]

Ord Grill couldn’t agree more. Being a brown girl myself Mac was the only brand that catered to my skin color even 15 years ago...Mac will always be my first love

[@mariamkhan9164]

Me too! My first foundation was studio fix fluid NC44! The drugstore could never! Mac it supreme and I’ll die on that hill! 😋💜

[@carinaoliveira5850]

I've been using MAC studio fix since I was 10 years old cause it was the best for dancing on stage. It was sweatproof and comfortable to wear without feeling too heavy. AND it's super inclusive. MAC has always offered a big range of foundations for all skin types/colours.

The animal cruelty is what has put me off now

[@MiaRBeauty]

@@amyhasson technically selling in china =/- testing on animals. it means that the chinese govmt has the right to POSSIBLE test on animals IF a customer makes a complaint about your product harming them. it does not happen very often at all. products don't need to be tested on animals to enter the chinese market.

[@kelseycourtney4761]

🙌 so true. I have so many absolute favourite products that were released many many years ago but it isn't new or vibrant or super lux packaging so in general it wouldn't seem as something worthy to talk about. Honestly one of the reasons I watch Shelby and certain others, because they make the content at least partially about makeup quality and usability and not necessarily the "latest hits" in the makeup world

[@simplycynth5.0]

Thank you for saying this. MAC has not died. The difference now is that there are so many more brands to choose from, and with the rise of social media influencers gluttonous overconsumption of cosmetics, by influencers and the people they influence, MAC and other reputable, solid brands have been forgotten. But it’s not because the brand has gotten worse. It hasn’t. MAC is the granddaddy of all the newer trendy brands and will probably continue to be around for a long time after the trendy (and sometimes lesser quality) brands die off. It’s also become trendy to talk negatively about MAC on camera. I wish more KZbinrs would admit how much they still love MAC, even if they do use other brands too.

[@lgempet2869]

CM Yes, everyone has their favorite items from each of the beauty lines but MAC has some amazing products!! My favorites include their fantastic eyebrow pen along with their incredible assortment of highlighters & blushes. Absolutely anyone can find their favorite shade(s) for any skin tone....just so many options!👍🏻😊

[@MeredithHammett]

It is still very much current with professional working makeup artists. And those are who this brand catered to from their inception. They became much more mainstream for regular consumers in the 90s. But even then, you were lucky if your local mall had a MAC counter. I know my local mall didn't get a MAC until 2000. God im old. 🤦‍♀️ The point is, MAC won't be dated in my eyes ever. They are innovators still to this day.

MAC marketing hasn’t been exciting for sure, but then again, I buy products and marketing doesn’t do anything for me lol.

I do think fenty has more foundation range than mac, mac never had a shade light enough for me (I can get away with the lightest but its still a tad dark) whereas fenty does

[@marygracefelton]

Totally agree with you, people act like mac is “old news” but they are still my #1 fave brand overall! It’s just GREAT quality, and I like how they don’t try to make you buy their stuff based on frilly packaging or cutesy themes or lifestyle marketing. The quality of their products speaks for itself. I started loving them just for their lipsticks, but they aren’t a “one hit wonder” - their lipsticks, lip liners, eyeshadows, blushes, highlights, and more are amazing and my holy grails.

[@zenmaster9195]

Finally! I thought I was the only MAC fan left! Thank you! I still feel MAC is king. They've established themselves pretty well, I don't think they need all the hype anymore. They've proven to hold their own.

[@JaeggerPendoley]

Since a large amount of people have already brought up the animal cruelty issue, I shall offer a different perspective. Ever since Estée Lauder acquired MAC their formulas have gone down in quality. This is a major complaint amongst fellow professional makeup artists in the industry. Additionally, their pro program has quite the hefty price tag, which continues to be increased while the % off decreases. Employees of the brand, are no longer promoted based on artistry, but rather how much product they can sell. If you look inside the corporate structure, there have been quite a few complaints from the employees with “small job titles.” As a former employee of several years, than freelancing with an agency in NYC for several more, these are some of the complaints voiced by my colleagues, as well as my 2 cents. 💕

[@lauraahlqvist3328]

Oh yes. I agree the formulas used to be better.

[@javadivawithdog]

MAC still performs over and over. Worth every penny. My favorite eyeshadows ever.

[@annieoscar]

In recent months I've been back into MAC. I think you nailed it when you brought up their frequent launches. They come out with new collections so often, and unless you immediately jump, you can't get them, then that takes out the excitement for something new, at least for me. Because I'm not going on a website at midnight or something like that just to get something before I've even seen reviews or anything. And I live in Montana where I mostly buy mail-order. Yes, Ulta has MAC now which I'm glad for, but again, this is Montana, so very limited selection in-store. My current fave is the Face and Body foundation - it is the best for not coming off on my mask, and I can vouch for it being friendly to mature skin (I just turned 64). Speaking of old-school, I have a MAC Mineralize blush in Dainty - I swear it's like 10 years old, but I actually still use it and it's beautiful!

[@AllyKit]

Ive been using pinch o peach for years. Their pan sizes can’t be beat and prices are good for the large amount of product you get. But their brushes have really gone downhill. All synthetic, duo fiber and not worth double the price of Sigma. They lost me there.

[@zusamy20]

Omg thank u!!!!! I have really sensitive skin and mac skin products work fantastic on me, so I hate people trashing Mac, I use the concealer , fix plus and powder everyday!

[@laura12316]

[@electrictwilight]

I love the Glow Play blushes. They're the best thing MAC has put out in awhile, and I wish they'd expand the shade range and do a bronzer version. I wish they were a little more innovative with their formulas. I will always love their eyeshadows even though they're not the most pigmented. For everyday wear, they just have the best color range and they're easy to use.

[@Brandi_the_Baker]

I still want a bunch of stuff from Mac. I have slowly been getting things. I just got face and body like a month ago. I got Melba blush about three months ago. Soft and gentle six months ago. I’ve had just slowly been building up things because they are expensive.

[@yadiranavarro3078]

I love so many MAC products and I think their cost performance is wonderful. But the main reason I'm put off of buying it is because every single time I go into the MAC counter to test colors, the people they have working at the counter have been so... awful. I know that's a sweeping generalization, but seriously, every single time, every single counter. They're just. So indifferent about helping, almost like they're doing you a favor, and like they'd rather be anywhere but looking for your eyeliner. It's such a sharp contrast to other counters, where I always feel welcome and where workers are so happy to help, like at Benefit, or Lancome. I buy the MAC that I know online, but walking in and out of a store always leaves me feeling like I shouldn't have bothered. That, and the animal cruelty also isn't a great look.

[@aimaFHS]

I absolutely love their liquid powder lipsticks that recently came out . They look so good on the lips and gives the perfect SMOOTH matte look. Definitely a must have and I really recommend for anyone to purchase if you want that matte look without accentuating the lines on your lips or any crusty buildup .

I'm a dusky Indian girl and we never had anything foundation or concealer even remotely close to most Indian skintones. Most brands would advertise lighter foundations and many girls would walk around with a grey mask on their faces. Many indian makeup companies had just one foundation shade..ONE for a country with 3 billion people. So mac was the only place where I could go and not have the sales assistant tell me to buy a white foundation in order to make me look fair. I cant live without the powder foundation, the concealer studio fix and prolongwear, the face and body foundation, fix plus and the most beautiful highlighter I have used the cream colour base in hush.

I’ve been watching you for so many years, you’re still my fav makeup guru so unproblematic, and calming. You helped me through the toughest time in my life. 5 in a half years ago I was hospitalized 6 days after my sons birth. I was by myself for 3 months while my son was being taken care of by my mother father and my husband. It was not only, traumatizing but so very depressing to be alone morning noon and night. I’d binge watch your videos for the nights that I wasn’t able to be on the phone to listen to my son snoring. Your videos would not only calm me down and help with my anxiety but, they’d also help me sleep as well. There were nights that I’d lie awake in my hospital bed for hours and just watch you put on makeup or talk about products, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me get through that rough time, and thank you for continuing to do KZbin. I still watch you every video you post, you’re still able to calm me down when I’m having bad anxiety. You’re an amazing person and just thank you so much!

Hello! First time viewer! Where’ve I been under a rock? Yes I am a MAC User still like from the 90’s. It was my first real makeup from the department store. My older sister always said if you have the lip liners plum and spice you are good to go! I still use the MAC Studio Finish Concealer. The makeup world is flooded with more products then when I was a teen in the mid 90’s. We used Maybelline and Covergirl because that’s all there was until MAC came along. Some of us felt that Estée Lauder or Mary Kay was our mother’s makeup until recently with Estee and their new foundations. MAC formulas and foundations might not be easy to work with as new makeup is. MAC is multitasking and use. I remember loving all the MAC secrets to products that might be an issue too where makeup brands now come out and say this is what to do how to use etc. Thank you for the video! 👍🏼

[@AllyKit]

Yes! Estée Lauder Lancôme and Clinique were for old ladies! Their products reeked of perfume. Mac was for us cool young chicks, lol.

[@MakeupandMentalHealth]

MAC is still an amazing brand. Between the lip liners, base products, and blushes, they will always get my money.

[@niqniq6]

For me I know Mac isn’t cruelty free so I no longer buy their products. Even when I see something on social media that I’m tempted by, I remember that their products are tested on animals to be able to sell in China and I tell myself no. There are so many other great cruelty free make up brands out there that I don’t need to buy the ones that aren’t anymore. Also while yes there are many household products, medicine etc that test on animals there isn’t as much consumer choice available with these products. I can very easily choose makeup that’s cruelty free unlike some of the other products, maybe one day products in those categories will also provide more choice. I love your videos but cruelty free is very important to me. x

[@philippaolson7854]

100% agree! It’s why I no longer purchase from them personally. I also think it’s quite ‘dupeable’ at a lower price point and I haven’t seen anything genuinely new or exciting from them for about a decade. If they went cruelty-free I would give them a second chance for nostalgic reasons though!

[@heatherhoffman3453]

Same here. It’s a shame because I really love MAC products. If they would quit testing on animals I would purchase in a heartbeat.

[@zenmaster9195]

Hey ladies! MAC doesn't test on animals. They don't ever test on animals, they don't have testing facilities, etc. The absolute only reason they are not cruelty free is because they sell and ship to China. Do you all know how that works? When they ship to China, the Chinese government may take a random selection at customs or at a warehouse, and test the products on animals for safety reasons. In the US we have developed other ways of doing that, and China, is well....China, they don't give a F. Now if you want to boycott products (any products) that are not cruelty free, then boycott China. Like the entire country....and good luck with finding products that aren't made in China. Your choices in things dwindles significantly. MAC has a whole campaign about fighting animal testing, and trying to work with the countries that do it to get them to stop. Could they just not sell there? Sure, but I know as a consumer that they are not the ones doing it, it's the Chinese government. If part of my buying from them goes to their initiative to stop it completely, all around the world and leave that practice behind, then fine. They'll need a lot of resources to help fight the good fight. But to each their own.

[@user-uy8vs2ue3f]

@@zenmaster9195 Exactly, any lab is capable to buy some of the shelf products to test on whatever they want to test on. People just can't stop blaming the brand. Paying for a cruelty brand is paying for the company's concept. I do see many certified cruelty products selling on the Chinese retail store, including physicians formula, wet n wild, morphe etc. Many vegan brands have a certified legal warehouse in China to sell online.

[@bizzlecrafts]

This. I moved away from MAC when I went cruelty free. Selling to countries that still require testing is not cruelty free.

YES! People are always saying how much they want every brand to be inclusive (and they should be), but then poop on MAC. They were the OG inclusive brand!

Mac face and body is a absolutely gorgeous foundation. It cannot be beat for giving coverage and looking like real skin ..it also does not settle into lines. It’s perfect.

[@AllyKit]

Can I just say how much I appreciate that MAC products are unscented?!? I am so sensitive and cant wear perfume. Had to return Tarte palettes bc they reek of chocolate and made my eyes red. I do not want my makeup making me hungry or making me look stoned! I could smell the pallet as soon as I walked in the bathroom! Their shadows never have fallout, although some do need a heavier hand. Mac F&B is my holy grail, when I was young and now even more 20 years later. I need more coverage now, but I keep coming back to it bc it doesn’t look cakey or settle in my lines as much. I still get compliments on my skin even though I have rosecea. It covers well enough and leaves me with a natural dewy finish. They had the first makeup tone that didn’t make me look orange. (I have olive yellow undertones) Their shades are perfect for me and always give me a natural glow, without any trendy fake glitter. Still love their lustre lipsticks. Wish I could still find Viva Glam V but Midimauve and Hug Me will always do. Call me boring cus I’m not trying to do Kim K. I want to look like myself, only better. Always natural. That’s why I’m drawn to this channel. 😊

I started using MAC when I was a teenager in the early 2000’s. It’s a classic and even with all these influencer trends it’s been a staple and holy grail for me. I think people forget how MAC is literally the most inclusive makeup brand with every shades of the color wheel available for foundation, eyeshadows, etc. and when other brands are applauded for having “ wide range” of foundation shades, I’m always like… “but Mac has always had darker shades for POC” since like the beginning. After spending some time trying out makeup lauded by influencers and whatnot, I’ve always came back to MAC for reliable and dependable color and coverage and quality. So yea, will be MAC fangirl forever.

[@LexiLadonna]

Their limited edition Instigator lipstick from I think holiday 2014 is my all time holy grail lipstick but there's only about 3 mm left of it and I'm super sad because it's never been brought back. In general I love their collabs and exclusives and holiday sets for really amazing evening looks, but they're not really a brand I've considered for every day staples because their makeups seem to me to be formulas that really just work best for layering and full face of makeup looks. So I've never considered them for things like concealer, blush, nuetral eyeshadows, etc. But I've never tried that particular type of foundation from them before so I'm interested in giving it a try! I love a very sheer base.

But, recently I’ve been putting MAC products into my Ulta cart and watching KZbin videos on MAC, so I was so excited when I saw you posted this video! Thank you for this!!

[@karamcdonald9817]

I feel like MAC products offer timeless and more consistent products and right now, especially in IG world, here and now, it products and don't stick with the same routine. But as another commenter pointed out, the people who wear makeup are way more than just that community.

I have re- falling in love with MAC❤️

[@LN0818]

Nothing beats the smell of MAC lipsticks!

[@cibelemendes1829]

Those eyeshadows really made your eyes pop! Looks stunning

[@littlehomeinthevalley]

OMG do you have a tutorial on that gorgeous wedding makeup look?? If not, PLEASE do one!!

[@tistrelis]

Thanks for this video, Shelbey, I still and always love MAC products, no matter what the trends dictate. Beautiful look, it suits you so much!

[@joda7702]

I still love MAC and have for years. There’s something to be said for a brand that’s been around for so many years and STILL puts out great products. MAC is an OG brand.

[@hlane1694]

Nice video! I still love MAC. I think it’s definitely a generational thing. By the way, you should try changing the placement of your blush and bronzer/contour. I think it’d be more flattering for your face shape if it was higher up or towards the edge of your face. There’s a lot of videos now of people changing the placement and showing how it changes people’s face.

They need to go cruelty free! I for one would love to try face and body because it sounds like my ideal everyday foundation. I feel like if they switched so many more people would buy from them.

[@LinA-it9vd]

Kate Walberg I’m sure there are many that do anyway. It’s a choice and as long as you feel fine with your decision that’s important.

[@carriew662]

Everything I’ve tried from Mac has been amazing. Face and body is my HG foundation. I wish they were cruelty free. 😔 I was about ready to come here and fight you over those glow play blushes. 🤣 I think they’re perfection!!

[@rebbieandfamily]

MAC is legendary! I always go back to my faves from MAC after trying lots of others. They are still fire!! ♥️

[@hely5104]

Frigging love MAC. I use their lipsticks and kohl pencils all the time

[@lisashipman9387]

Yes!! Face and Body!! My favorite!

[@JoJoTinkRN]

You introduced me to Face & Body and I’ve been hooked ever since. I apply it exactly as you demonstrated in your dedicated video. When I’m in a hurry but need to quickly cover my redness, this is the foundation I use!! So thank you for that! In the past I swore by the Mineralized Skin Finish Natural but now I don’t set my foundation. I love this video concept. Long live Mac!!

[@cwm5316]

Beautiful! MAC is one of the best makeup brands available. I love the eyeshadows, the blush, and lipsticks & lip liners are incredible. My favorite product is MAC Mineralize Powder foundation.

[@soniathegemini1593]

I love my trinity of ruby woo, russian red & lady danger. And ofcourse all fired up & relentlessly red & runway hit. Such gorgeous colors. I love other brands too but MAC is so old school and classic

[@lele2517]

Mac is still one of my favorites !!!

[@suzannetaylor6285]

I have recently been falling back in love with Mac.. specifically because I would run out of one shadow in a pallet and I know I could find a dupe there.. then you are sucked in.. and it’s so nice to back

[@b8665]

MAC is the OG makeup company that I constantly use!! Such high quality makeup compared to milk, glossier, etc.

[@Shadeydey]

I love Mac! You got me back into them in your (and my) powder foundation days. Lol

[@angiesmith6782]

This look turned out stunning!! I’m definitely picking up a few of these products, liners, loved the paint pot in that color..You represented well🙌🙌😊

[@pinkdonut26]

More than half of my makeup collection is still Mac. Studio Fix powder and their eyeshadow duos are my go to’s. Classic simple makeup.

[@LunnaySol]

I started using Mac as a teenager and, I don't know why, I forgot about it for a short while. I went back to browse and fell in love all over again with the products. Now, my skin is starting to mature and Mac continues to work well and to be one of my favorite brands. I love the fact that I can rely on Mac: I know my shades, I know how their powders perform (huge fan of all blushes, highlighter and mineralized powder), I love their lipsticks and I have been able to have a staple foundation since I was 17. Mac is not old fashion and reliable is not a bad thing.

[@pamelajennings4016]

I got a MAC makeover 20 years ago for my wedding and to me they are still Holy Grail. I don’t live in an urban area where MAC gets enough love and have branched out in my makeup, but I always go back to MAC.

[@melanie-1027]

Face and body is my ride or die. Also Paint Pot in groundwork. I have been really impressed with a lot of the products MAC has been bringing out, specifically the Powder Kiss lipsticks and the Glow Play blushes. Try a brighter colour of the blush - they have such a lovely translucent glow to them. 💕

[@clisaa6974]

I think one problem that people might see with MAC is possibly it's packagaing. You know. We live in a instagrammable world where everyone likes super cute and attractive packaging. And, MAC has stayed true to it's heritage and for the most part kept it's signature classic look? Also maybe they haven't been making super innovative products and people like more "hipper" brands these days. BUT I love the MAC Face and Body too! And, I want to try their new play blushes! In the end there are just so many newer brands to try.

[@carolferreira705]

CLisa In my country, MAC is an expensive brand. And I particularly find it boring (I only like a few colors of lipsticks). I prefer to invest in some brands such as Jeffree Star, which has great quality and great details (packaging is a work of art). For me, MAC is dated. I was never interested about it (except for some lipsticks).

[@clisaa6974]

@@carolferreira705 I agree with you. I find it boring and dated. And, in the US too it is expensive. Every few years the only thing i buy from MAC is the face and body. But, luckily we live in a time where there are SO many good choices to pick from you know.. I don't think Mac is bad though, but there are just so many better options. And, also I am trying to use more clean beauty makeup products and Mac is definitely not clean beauty at all.

[@douae5857]

Manuela Lima oh no not JS. Sure the brand is great but he’s super problematic. There are many other good brands to choose from.

[@clisaa6974]

@Doll Faced Beauty that is true! There have been many products I tried in the past with elaborate packaging but then had a bad product- And, half the time i think they charge even more for a product with ornate packaging you know. I don't need packaging that looks super pretty all the time( sometimes though it is what attracts me to a new brand haha) And, I don't find Mac packaging to be bad either. It's simple and classic. Kind of like Bobbie Brown or Laura Mercier

[@unpopped]

Manuela Lima you lost me at jeffree star
