The Worst: No. 4: MAC Green Gel Cleanser, $19.50
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 6.0*
What you said: "I have very oily skin. I am in love with MAC makeup so I tried this cleanser. It doesn't [have a] rich lather and it doesn't leave my skin feeling fresh. I guess it's ok for normal skin." —marimiel, TotalBeauty.com member

No. 3: MAC Prep + Prime Eye, $16
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 5.7*
What you said: "I am a MAC junkie, and I really love their eyeshadows. I wear full eyeshadow everyday, so I need a good primer to hold it in place and keep it from creasing. I figured since MAC has such great eyeshadows, they'd obviously have a great primer for them ... WRONG! This primer is terrible — all of my shadow creased badly!! I've tried many primers, and this one is sadly at the bottom of my list!" —BruinHeather, TotalBeauty.com member

What you said: "I love MAC almost without fail, but I could not stand this product. Half way through the day it started flaking, and this was with a brand new, non-dried out tube. I'm going back to CoverGirl LashExact: half the price, none of the flakes." —Jaimegirl, TotalBeauty.com member

No. 1: MAC Matte, $18
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 4.5*
What you said: "I have been a MAC fan for 10 years now and was so disappointed in this particular product. Not only does it NOT make a difference in its 'claim' to prevent shine, but it also made me break out over and over again. I thought it was just a coincidence that I would break out, so I tested it on five random days and each and every time I used it — pimples galore." —aznsweetness, TotalBeauty.com
