The Best: No. 15: MAC Eye Shadow, $14.50 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.4*
What you said: "THE best eyeshadow I have ever used. I will never switch to another brand when it comes to eyeshadow. It comes in a broad range of colors so there isn't a reason to switch brands anyway! The pigments are so concentrated and easy to apply. Even if you're new to makeup, you won't mess up with MAC eyeshadow. Favorite part about MAC eyeshadow? The fact that it stays on FOREVER!! I've woken up with my color still intact. HIGHLY recommended!" —afashionicon, TotalBeauty.com member

Do love the good ones--haven't tried the ones with lower ratings, happily.

Loved this round up of MAC products. I agree with several of the best and luckily have not purchased any of the worst.

Not bad but this was mostly a MAC brush roundup just a few things added like false lashes and eyeshadow. I agree these are great and highly recommend but to make this a better guide there should of been more. MAC Pro foundation. This is probably the best foundation out there, it's a absolute dream. Studiotech and face and body could also of been added. Dazzleglass gloss is also among the best out there even though I usually use NYX instead and I could not live without my MAC fix+. Good guide but shallow.
