Reasons why you would choose MAC over other cosmetic brands..

[gabriellash]

Hi girls,

As the title states, I'd like to know your reasons as to why some of you choose MAC over other brands.

You may wish to include factors like price, quality, variety; to name a few.

Again, this is in effort of my project.

Thanks.

Pigmentation all the way. Ben Nye is the only other brand to come close. Staying power is boss too.

I like the pricing, the back to mac program, and the huge assortment of colors.

I only genuinely like and buy a handful of things particularly MAC. Those are:

Fluidline- It works, it's fairly cheap
MSF- Honestly, I probably could find something else that works similarly, but I love how these work, and I'm a sucker for the veining on it. I think they're gorgeous to look at.

I love mac because of the variety of products available aswell as the huge variety of colours. I love the packaging, especially the LE products, like the heatherette collection.

My main reason however is the quality of the products, the colour payoff, the staying power, the smooth application and the professional brushes. Whilst MAC is most definitly not cheap, the products are worth it.

Hi,

- The colour range (especially foundations)
- They don't test on animals
- Return policy is very important
- Back to Mac
- Educated help from MAs

The reasons why I choose MAC over other brand is the price, their commitment to making the world a more compassionate place(Viva Glam), thinking of our environment(Back 2 MAC) and of course the colour selection in AMAZING!

~Color payout
~Color staying powerIF (and it's a big if, I've only had it happen a couple of times) I get eyeshadow in my eyes, it doesn't cause irritation to my eyes or my contacts. That's a big one for me.
~Accessability. I work about a block from the free standing MAC store.
~I've been followed around the Sephora store (without being asked if I needed help) because I carry a big purse. Hi, if they knew how much money I spent there they wouldn't do that. I don't need to steal.
~I like the customer service at MAC, and they're willing to actually put the color on me and give samples. I LOVE the pigment samples they give..the containers are so cute and they give enough for a lot of uses.
~Back to MAC = the sexiness!

- Quality. I've always been pleased with their products.
- Price. I don't think it's that expensive!
- Variety.
- Collections.

Also, a lot of the makeup communities I go to talk about MAC, so I'm very informed of the brand. It's very easy to find MAC swatches too. This probably one of the reasons why my addiction started, and why I continue to buy MAC more often than any other brand.

 

[sharkbytes]

It really comes down to the quality and color selection for me. And I love how exciting the collections are; I'm hardly ever wowed by any other makeup company's collections. Plus, they don't test on animals, so that's a big plus for me.

 

[florabundance]

As everyone else has said, quality and variety.
I also think that the way MAC is marketed (professional, exclusive etc), encourages it's consumers to be creative with their looks, and take a deeper interest in make up than other brands, maybe?

 

[Simply Elegant]

Because it works, really. It's not expensive either for what you get.

 

[GlossyAbby]

I think the price is a steal for the quality you get...I also love mac's variety of colors to choose from....
