[cupcake702]

Lol penultimate. Pen. Ultimate.

[angelsafa]

I love you Lisa! You're amazing! You give very helpful and detailed explanations and reviews! The best ever here on Youtube! =)

[invincible221]

if you had to pick any mac brush would it be the 187? im looking to get my first brush

[Lisasz09]

@invincible221 I would say the 217 for eyes and either the 187 or the 165 for face! :o)

[LexiLuscious13]

It's pronounced pen- ultimate

[xxautumnmariexx23]

I have the two lipsticks. :)

[ShaoPing09]

Haha it's penultimate eyeliner :) I have it too and absolutely adore it

[ShaoPing09]

Haha it's penultimate eyeliner :)

[shrutiarjunanand]

i love u , u r too gud i love you review

[Star2k15]

Somebody tell me whats so special about Mac maekup than other makeups? Im new to using makeup. I know Mac cost more.

[Lisasz09]

@Star2k15 MAC is just a great brand that has pigmented colors and is easy to blend and use. I personally just dont like their founadtions and lipglass everything else I love!

[hollywoodcandids]

@Lisasz09 also, in my opinion, MAC is one of the most "famous" brands because of its marketing strategy...even its colors and packaging are SO attractive that I honestly feel like buying sth from MAC every time i get in a shop

[mustluvgermanysoccer]

What are the 6 blushes on the blush palette with pink swoon and dolly mix? I love all those colors and want to find out what they are! Thanks! Also, is the MAC blot powder nice and a good buy? Should I buy it even if I don't usually wear much makeup? Will this powder still work and blot the oil?

[Lisasz09]

@mustluvgermanysoccer I know that I have stark naked and well dressed I am just not sure of what the otehr 2 are. I might show them in my blush palette overview if that helps!

[Lisasz09]

@SparkePinkBeauty sorry Idont buy mac founadtions anymore- they break me out

[Lisasz09]

@SparkePinkBeauty yes they came out with one last year

[SaphiraFashion]

did u know that ALL of the mac creme blushes r getting discontinued? buy as many as you can now before they are all gone!

[girlintrouble2]

Really useful advice even for someone like me who already has lots of Mac.

Just started watching your vids and finding them all very useful. Thanks

[coutysgirl13]

i've been looking for a video like this! Thank you so much! really helpful

[johmarie7]

y are the mac sells people always so unfriendly?

[girlintrouble2]

@johmarie7 Yes I've noticed this MANY times too. I think they think they are better than us ordinary mortals ;-)

[kimchichick]

how similar are Grain and All That Glitters? Which one is darker, and which one is pinker?

[Lisasz09]

@kimchichick they are totally different- grain is a highlight and ATG is a lid color. ATG has a more oink undertone and grain is a more peach highligh color!

[FinalDestination018]

@Lisasz09 LOL Oink. I know you meant pink, but that's a really funny typo xD

[ItsMeRuffles]

i only have 100$ to spend at mac for my first time what should i get?

[Lisasz09]

@ItsMeRuffles it depends on what you are looking to get- let me know what you are looking for and I will give you suggestions!

[ItsMeRuffles]

@Lisasz09 I am thinking to get eye shadows and stuff but not foundation or powder cause I dont need it but i would like to get a few neutal eyeshadows and concealers and stuff but what eye shadows would u reccomend for a school look?

[Lisasz09]

@ItsMeRuffles I like grain, soft brown, all that glitters or woodwinked, and folie. concealer you should ask them there so it will work w your skintone. :o) Enjoy whatever you buy!

[AZNess312]

@ItsMeRuffles For eyeshadows, I just recently picked up this mineralized trio from the In the Groove collections in the color Love to Love. It's a beautiful trio of neutrals :]. Also, you can take a look at the paint pots! Rubenesque is a huge hit. if you want just a subtle all-over lid color, definitely check those out! :]

[coast2coastgirl]

Could you please do a overall must have video. Any products you love that you would recommened to a girl who wants to start up her makeup collection! : ) Thanks and I adore your videos fyi! Lol thanks!

[Lisasz09]

@coast2coastgirl hmmm that would be hard- maybe I will do a Must have products that I like video! I hope that will help!

[jess0shep]

you should do a sephora starter kit! I keep wanting to get a bunch of stuff from there, but it's so overwhelming. It would help so much if you would make a sephora starter kit!

[Lisasz09]

@jess0shep great idea- I will add it to my list to do!

[hanbanana67]

I love you !! you do the best vids :D:D one question though wat concealer would you recomend?

[Lisasz09]

@hanbanana67 I love Costal Scents Camo quads and MUFE palettes!

[babyxj234]

do you have any tips on using spray foundation? I just orderd some from sephroa and I was gonna spray it on a mac brush but idk. pleasee help!

[Lisasz09]

@babyxj234 I suggest spraying it on to a damp sponge and stippling it on to the skin! :o)

[babyxj234]

@Lisasz09

[thepinkflame04]

you are so great lisa! love your vids! i just wonder one thing.. everyone who has the sigma 187 and the mac 187 please tell me wich u think i should buy. i have a little anxiety....

[Lisasz09]

@thepinkflame04 I think the SS187 is a better buy for the money! :o) I love sigma brushes! :o)

[chrystynarr]

thank you for this! its perfect!

[kimchichick]

Could you do a video on all the highlight colours you have? (e.g. Brule/Vanilla/Ricepaper/Dazzle­light.. etc.)

i don't like any harsh white on my eyes. i prefer cream beige tone.. i also like more of a matte or sheen finish for a highlight over glittery finishes. any suggestions?

[Lisasz09]

I would suggest grain - it is a beautiful sheen and it is not a white it is a cream color! Enjoy!

[BabiiiDolls]

i have brule and its one of my favourite eyeshadows its between white and cream and is just matte so it looks very natural

xx

[ChantalMelega]

what do you use a color base for?

[Lisasz09]

it adds color or shimmer and it helps keep your powder color on more! :o)

[MrHappymonkeyfish]

I love painterly paint pot! its the bestest!

[m999999999z]

hey,,i really loved the way u answer everyones questions...i've tried asking to so many gurus, but never got any response :(

NEver mind, now i found u :)

AM totally a subbie now!!

Keep up the good work hon

[FASHIONISTADARLING]

which peachy mac blush would you suggest? peachtwist, peachykeen, or peaches. i am nc25

[Lisasz09]

peachykeen is amazing! :o)

[MrsNJonas100]

oops I totally just rated this video 1 star - I didn't mean to , my hand slipped!! lol sorry, your videos awesome :P

[Kallthat]

hey lisa ;) i just got fix + the other day and i was wondering how how i should use this so i was looking for what i would think of getting next time for mac in this video and know i know a other good way to use fix + :)

[Lisasz09]

I use it by spraying it on either my face or a 187 and buffing everything in to set my makeup and I use it on a brush for mineral or pigment shadows! :o) Enjoy!

[hecklera]

hi! i just got MSF natural and to be honest im a begginer i have no idea when to put it on! do i put it on after foundation, or after bronzer and blush? oh and for foundation i use powder from either mac or laura mercier.

[Lisasz09]

you can either put it on alone as your foundation or you can use it as a setting powder over your foundation! :o) You would put brinzer and blush on after the MSF! :o)

[hecklera]

thank you so much! ive asked all these gurus and they never respond! you are so sweet!

[khoshgeli]

thanks for this. i use studio sculpt foundation as i like a dewy look. if i was to use a mineralize skinfinish over it would it look too matte or powdery? i never use powders! many thanks.

[Lisasz09]

The MSF Natural does not leave a powdery finish so you should be fine! :o) Enjoy!

[HotNorwegianStyles]

sigma has a good dupe :)

[muchoxhearts]

awesome video!!! lovee ur vids. which concealer do u like best?

[Lisasz09]

I like the MUFE concealer palette and the Loreal true match! :o)

[PlainSav]

Great video, honestly. I'm subscribing.

I just started a howto channel, chekc out my vid and subscribe !

[Mahoney1]

Thanks for this great video! Sometimes when I walk into the MAC store it is so overwhelming with all the people and products, it's hard to shop. I'll be glad to have some specific items to look for. Do you think the Sigma brushes are comparable to the MAC ones, or should I just bite the bullet and spend the money on the MAC brushes. Thanks again, great info!

[Lisasz09]

yay! I am so glad you found thsi helpful! I would say that the sigma brishes are a gerat start- I am just not sure what the shelf life on them is yet, since i have only owned them for a few months! Where MAC ones I have owned for years and theya re still great! :o) Enjoy!

[realisedsin]

Finally, someone who recomends DollyMix! People think I'm crazy when they see it in my makeup bag, but it is an absolutely gorgeous go-to blush for anyone (even the pastey NC15 wearers like me!).

[heatherknox1]

Thanks for the great videos!

What is your opinion on MAC's Studio Tech Foundation? Would you say its too heavy for every day?

[Lisasz09]

I like it but I do think it is to heavy for everyday!

[Butterfly0258girl]

What is that color right of All that Glitters that you've used alot? It looks very pretty!

[Lisasz09]

That is the color honesty! :o)

[MakeupByTina]

Does the mac MSFN Give any coverage? :]

Because im not sure if i should get the msfn or the studio fix powder.. please help? :D

[Lisasz09]

yes it does give coverage- the msf is much more dewey than the Fix powder.

[dontneedtohaveone]

does the mineralized skin finish count as a foundation? also do you still need to set the msf? someone help?! thanks! <3

[Lisasz09]

teh MSF is also a foundation- you do not need a powder to set it- it sets itself! I hope thsi helps you!

[Latindolll4]

Thanks for the advice ,I love your videos !

[flowerrchildd765]

How did you get the labels like that on the inside of your mac palette?

[Lisasz09]

i type them in excel and them print them out and tape them on the palette! :o)

[manhattanshowgirl]

I bought both the blushes you recommended - dollymix and peachtwist and they are both gorgeous!!! I've always gone for pink tones but wanted to try a peachy one and peach twist is just perfect - thank you! x

[aprilsanaa]

so does the fix plus seal in your makeup?

[Lisasz09]

yes it does! :o)

[26nadz]

lov the lip colour

[SPosch101]

This is actually perfect.....im starting my kit and i need help...im especially into nude and neutral colors...thanks so much

Stacey

[shawtastically]

hey just wondering.

how long do you think one of the blushes would last you if you used it religiously everday?

its like the only mac product I don't have ahha. I use NARS but people here like Mac's so I'm jw. :)

[Lisasz09]

I think it would last a little longer than a NARS because it is deeper than the NARS one! I hope that helps!

[ArronLeMark]

Your make-up and hair is very nice here!

[daisylovesmakeup]

is hush ccb shimmery at all? I love highlighters but hate shimmer (MSFs!!)

Thanks :)

[Lisasz09]

it is shimmery but not glittery like a MSF! :o)

[cate2728]

How do you pay for all of this?!?

[obesepenguinsYEES]

uh, she has a job?

and she's a partner with youtube.

[whydiddiscodie94]

the liner you mentioned its pronounced like

pen-ultimate

haaha. thank you for sharing your starter kit video

[Lisasz09]

Yay! I am glad that you found this helpful! :o)

[asklid]

oh and is fix+ greasy? or what is it like?

[Lisasz09]

no fix plus is a light water like spray!  :o)

[MACTackleBox]

LOVE Fix+ and sets my make up perfectly. (I have oily skin) Couldn't live without it! Thanks for all the great info!

[asklid]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!

*SUBSCRIBES*

just wondering, i hear a lot about 187..

is it really as good as everyone including you says? :)

[Lisasz09]

yay! Thanks for subing! :o) I think the 187 is great but there are great dupes out there also!  :o)

[88crymeariver88]

u're just gorgeous!

[Lisasz09]

aww thanks so much you are so sweet! :o)

[soDANGEROUS]

Good video, very informative :]

but uh, if you were talking about penultimate liner its pronounced pen - ultimate, haha

if not, oh well..

[Lisasz09]

haha! Thanks I mispronounce things all the time! :oP Glad you enjoyed!

[duhhxitsdebrax3]

you are phonomenal! your videos are amazing!<3 it(:

[Lisasz09]

aww thanks so much! You are so sweet! :o)

[RockNRollBeautyQueen]

Hi, I'm finally starting to collect Mac and I'm so excited! This video was very helpful! When I go on vacation to NYC in a couple weeks I'm definitely going to be making a trip to Mac and I'll be keeping some of your suggestions in mind. Thanks!

[Lisasz09]

I am so glad you enjoyed the video and that it was helpful for you! :o)

[aex3princess]

I have a few questions:

I have a Cosmetic Co. Outlet in a mall, and that's the closet MAC I have near me; will they help me with skin tones?

Second, do you have to put the powder over the liquid or can you just use it itself?

[Lisasz09]

The CCO sales people will help you the same way a counter person will- they just wont have the most recent collections! You can wear powder on it's own- especially the MSF Natural! :o) Good Luck and enjoy!

[aex3princess]

Oh thanks so much! My mom asked me what I wanted for Easter...what a great time to bring up MAC! :)

[Lisasz09]

Glad this came at the right time for you! :o)

[angelwings0428]

thank you for the video! I am just jumping into the world of MAC and it is so funny on my list already (before I even watched your video) are: fix plus, Viva glam V, viva glam VI and painterly paint pot - lol!

[Lisasz09]

yay!  Great list! Enjoy them! :o)

[EnglandMiss]

Heyy :] I'm starting to collect my money for buying Mac, can you tell me how much the Brush 187 cost? Thanks! :D Nice video between :]

xx

[Lisasz09]

I think it is around $45-$50. You can check online or in your local store to be sure! :o)

[EnglandMiss]

Thanks :]

xx

[GoBoSox4]

Thank you for this!! I have become quite a mac addict, it all started with the studio fix foundation and just got worse!! haha!! but I am a student with rent a so many other bills!! so I have decided to buy one MAC product every pay day, (every two weeks) so this helps me decide what I should get first!! thanks again!! =)

[Lisasz09]

Great plan and i am gla dthis was helpful! enjoy your new purchases! :o)

[jalapena2007]

Hi. I really enjoyed this video too! I am starting my first mac shadow palette and am deciding (before I shop) which colors to get. I wanted a nice beige but hadn't seen Grain yet - so thanks! Can you recommend a nice plum or purply brown (or both?) to add to my list? (I have light/med skin, green eyes, brown hair, cool undertones.) THANKS SO MUCH!

[Lisasz09]

a great plum/brown for the crease is Sketch or if you are looking for a good lid color try tracks- they look great together! Enjoy and let me know what you get! :o)

[mydivinesunshine]

What eyeshadows do you reccommend for woemn of color? My skin tone is more of a meduim coffee color or toffee color. thanks!

[Lisasz09]

I think all that gliters is still great on any skintone, embark is a great one, carbon and cranberry are all great- make sure to get a paint pot close to your skintone like groundwork or wuite natural! :o)

[jannapiaopiao]

hi, can u do some reviews on Guerlain products, such as its liquid foundation? thanks a lot!

[Lisasz09]

the only guerlain product I own is the eye kohl. If I ever buy their foundation i will do a review. :o) Thanks for wacthing!

[starletbabe22]

YOU SHOULD START THIS AS A TAG!:)

[Lisasz09]

That is a fun idea! :o) Thanks for watching!

[manuella103]

I want to buy that grain e/s but would the shimmer show on my eyelid? I just love shimmery e/shadows!

[Lisasz09]

the shimmer is very fine- I dont think it will show up! You would need a color with more of a luster or glitter to it! :o)

[Policosmetics82]

Great video!:)

[Lisasz09]

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it! :o)

[ColorMeGirly]

Lisa, this is a GREAT video. It helped me alot, especially since I am just getting into MAC =)

[Lisasz09]

yeah! Glad to be helpful to someone i talk to! :o)  Let me know what you get! :o)

[mississippigirl99]

Great video! I loved all of your choices! I just got the rapid liner...I can't wait to try it!

[Lisasz09]

yeah!  glad you liked the video! Enjoy whatever you buy!

[NZgal1976]

The eyeliner is pronounced (spelled phonetically) PEN-UL-TAH-MIT, like the word penultimate, which means next to last.

[Lisasz09]

thanks girl! I just cant get certain words out! :oP

[lexmela2127]

all that glitters must be cursed haha bc i dropped my palette on my hardwood floor everything fell out and it was the only one that got ruined! it chipped a little haha

[Lisasz09]

ohh that is funny! weird how that happens- thansk for watching and sharring you experience! :o)

[hamachi89]

Great recommendations! I agree with you just about everything!

[Lisasz09]

thank you so much and I am glad you liked everythign and agreed!  :o)

[lesjumelles85]

Great video! Very helpful for all. My sister and I loved the eyeshadows you were wearing in this video. You recommended great things. Now I am considering peachtwist and swiss chocolate. lol. All that glitters was one of our very first MAC eyeshadows along with Vanilla. All that glitters is beautiful!

[Lisasz09]

thanks girls! I totally forget what I was wearing sorry! swiss chocolat eis my favorite eye shadow of all time! Vanilla pugment is a favorite too, but I didnt want to suggest pigment because some people just dont get how to use them! Plus they can be expensive for a starter!

[beegee35]

thats sooo crazy that its ur bday! mine was tuesday! HAPPY BDAY LISA!!! i went to MAC today and saw BBR, not impressed.  I bought the 226 and french cuff.. thats it!

[Lisasz09]

yeah happy b-day to you also! :o) I think the 226, blinde msf and the 165 are the best things in the collection- I like french cuff and bought it but it is really glittery on me for some reason! Enjoy! :o)

[UrBanPiiNk]

awwe thanks so much for doing this! =)

im definatly getting these

[Lisasz09]

glad you liked it and it helps you! enjoy whatever you get! :o)

[lilmzann]

Ooh! I love all the starter kit videos!

The tissue in your palette is genius! I hate when I get powder all over the inner lid on my palettes

[Lisasz09]

I love the tissue so the color doesnt get on my paper that says the colors! :o) Thanks for watching and commenting!

[lilmzann]

You're so sweet replying to all your commenters!

I love all your videos =]

Haha. I make a special time in my day just to watch youtube

And yours are always one of the first ones I watch now!

[Ange1gur1]

Is Studio Fix Fluid photo friendly? I was thinking it would be ashy looking, and was thinking of saving up mufe foundation...

[Lisasz09]

I have used it for photo's before. I had MUFE and i personally didnt like it- I prefer the smashbox HD.  But I love the MUFE HD powder- taht over and foundation makes it photo ready in my opinion! Enjoy whatever you get! :o)

[lilcotick]

first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! hope the dinner was great :))

GREAT VID!! such great ideas

[Lisasz09]

Thank you so much! I had a great b-day! :o) Thanks for watching!

[misspinkpanther3]

what do u think of "shell" for a cream color base? i hear it's more of a pink undertone than "hush" as it has more of a peach undertone.

[Lisasz09]

shell and hush are not that different- i thought i would like shell more, but I still grab for myhush for some reason! :o) Maybe it just works better on my skintone!

[shellierb69]

I was wondering if you could to a video on what are the necessities you should have in your makeup bag everyday.

[Lisasz09]

I actually dont carry a makeup bag because i sit at my vanity and decide daily what to wear. even when I go away I take so much with me it wouldnt help anyone! :o)

[leannagirl1]

i need the 182, rapidblackliner, and the viva glam VI lip gloss

[Lisasz09]

they are all great things! :o)

[leannagirl1]
