Any good MAC cosmetic alternatives?

I was just wondering if there are any other brands of similar quality but that is not as expensive as MAC? Thank you.Any good MAC cosmetic alternatives?
If you're looking at foundations and powders then I'd try Revlon or Maybelline. I use Revlon Colorstay and it's fabulous. It's about $10 instead of $25.





As for eyeshadows, NYX is great. It's about $4 for a pot rather than $14 like it is at MAC and the color are pretty pigmented. You can even use the NYX eye crayons as a base underneath the eyeshadow and it'll make the colors pop and last longer.





If you're looking for an eyeliner, try Loreal HIP cream eyeliner. It's pretty comparable to MAC's Fluidline but it's not as smooth. The HIP is another good base for under eyeshadow too. I think the eyeliner is about $10 instead of $14.Any good MAC cosmetic alternatives?
Loreal HIP (high intensity pigment) line offers great bold colors at more affordable prices--and available at a drug store. Other than that... There's a line called Fresh Minerals that is sold at some drug stores that has really high quality makeup for cheaper, but they're selection is limited and kinda hardto find.





In general, with makeup, you get what you pay for. I'd check out the HIP line, it's a bit more pricey that your typical drug-store line of makeup, but at the same time, it is better quality, and comes in some great bold, MAC-like colors. I bought a bright magenta shadow for Halloween, and it worked and looked great.
Not for my money. MAC Rockz!
Urban Decay


Too Faced


Clinique


Sugar





but they are around the same price as MAC and MAC is still better
NYX is great. It's not quite as awesome as Mac, but for the price you can really play around with colors. I actually prefer their lipgloss. At 5 bucks, it's a steal. Ulta started carrying it a few months ago.
