MAC vs. Mark.

So yesterday I took a little trip to the mall, of course I had to stop by the make-up counters and compare some products! I decided to go with MAC and have them do my make-up with only the basic everyday wear products. I wanted to have a natural look and not look fake. Below I am going to list the products that they used on me and compare them with mark products.

Step one: They primed my face with “Prep + Prime Fortified Skin Enhancer”

Step two: They powdered my face with “Studio fix powder plus foundation”

Step three: They outlined my eye with black “fluidline”.

Step four: They also filled in the blank spots with “Powerpoint eye pencil”.

Step five: They used “Zoom Lash” mascara on my eyelashes.

Step six: The final step, they sprayed “Fix +” all over my face to set the make-up.

After looking at myself I wasn’t too happy about the results! My face looked orange because the “Prep + Prime Fortified Skin Enhancer” only comes in 4 colors; adjust, illuminate, neutralize, and recharge. She tried the neutralize color and it was to white so we had to go with recharge which has an orange tone. The coverage was good but I felt that my face looked a bit to cakey with the primer and “Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation”. The “Fluidline” I actually liked, and the “Zoom Lash” was good as well. However, the “Fix +” was too oily for me.

The total price for the 6 products used at the MAC counter was $121.50 + tax. Mark offers the exact same products with a total of $58.00 + tax you save $63.50 not including the taxes. 

Here are the comparisons of the products “MAC” vs. “Mark.”
