I would tell that they need to explore the brand a little more and when they do they will find out that MAC is much more than bright colors. MAC has a little bit for everyone including them!

I'v heard it and I think we all have and that is because MAC has everything that every high or mid end brand wants. And being a mid brand it gives you variety for a diverse group. You can find anything and everything for any skin tone, color, and texture. Can you say the same thing for the other brands? I think not.

what is it about MAC that makes it mid end? i never really understood because their products are pretty fab (except the paintpots... im starting to dislike them... im gonna exchange my paintpot for a shadestick or something) someone was also telling me that MAC is mid-end when i thoguht it to be high-end. Canadian prices is generally $20/item so I cant say its a price thing... and i've never really been interested in any other products. MAC is canada friendly unlike other brands. I was never interested in smashbox, benefit, dior etc that i see at the mall shopper's drug marts with larger cosmetics sections. i always go for the MAC lol

MAC is midend because of their prices and because of brands like Chanel, Dior, etc that are high end for other products than makeup. I think it works that way?

Mid end not by quality but price wise. Its a decent price for what you are getting IMO. And the quality is superb so there is really no complaint. High brands like lancome, chanel, smashbox, dior, armani, bobbi brown etc etc are expensive but if MAC was to be compared to them, it comes off mid end.
But it does depend where you are on the globe. Here in the states, it is known as mid end and I am sure in a lot of other countries as well. MAC might be more expensive in other countries because of the currency value AND because MAC might be a rare brand in their country so they have nothing to really compare it with.

For me none of Mac's foundations worked out and they did look too heavy, but overall you can make your other makeup light or dark, that's what is great about mac, not only do they have the bright pigmented colors, but the pale neutrals too. Just because the promo pictures are wilder than other brands doesn't mean you have to wear it like that. I guess everyone is still stuck in the mindset of what Rupaul wore ages ago for a campaign.

I've heard that before and it really annoys me. I think it's cos people assosictae the brand with bright colours (ie: Bitter) and things like fake lashes but MAC actually has a bigger range of natural looking shades than alot of other brands in my opinion
As long as you are comfortable, go for it

Yes you're right. It is too much for those who just start to know about cosmetics. My friend told me MAC eyeshadows is lil a too dark for her and it doesn't look smooth. Well, i personally love to play with colors so i love MAC mucho =].
Did you know that most of people think black eyeshadow is nasty? I don't see anything wrong with that. =]

Uh, I say that it's being applied wrong. Haha. All MAC products can be applied in a sheer/natural way. It depends on the brush and the overall application of the product.

Choice in color & technique in application plays a huge role in how your make up will turn out. What you use to apply a product can make all the difference in the world.

I would say that "too heavy" is a relative term. Everyone has different needs and desired looks. Others are entitled to their opinion and what they put on their face, but I don't have to agree with their point of view when it comes to my face.
Personally I think MAC has a great range of products and colours. That been said, I still don't use MAC exclusively. There are so many great products/lines out there that I would never limit myself to just one.
As others have mentioned, I completely agree that application technique, application tools and product choice have so much to do with how it turns out.
Oh yeah......the less MAC "they" buy, the better chance for me to get my hands on an LE.

MAC does make a lot of bright funky colours, but I don't think it's like you're supposed to wear them everyday (unless you work for MAC that is!). People just need to realise that they're meant to pick out the subtle stuff for daywear and that the other colours are for having fun with when they go out (and that they're supposed to be applied with care!)
