Compared to other brands like Lancome and Chanel, it isn't. Mascara is $13.50, lipstick is like 14 I think, and eyeshadows are around 14. Macys usually has a counter, and MAC has its own store in some malls. Or go to www.mac.com

Well', I don't think you should get a job yet. Mac makeup is expensive. Eyeshadow can cost you $30-$40. Foundation is around $40 too. Brushes are really expensive too!There really isn't a need to use such expensive make up especially if you have to work so hard to get some makeout You can get very similar products for a much cheaper price. Maybe covergirl or loreal. I would personally not spend so much makeup at such a young age.

MAC is very expensive compared to drugstore brands like Cover Girl, that basically do the same thing. When I was a little older than you, like about 18 or so, I had this friend who swore by MAC products, and she took me to the MAC store one day. I bought a lipstick and lipliner, which set me back $26, compared to maybe $7 for both items if I had bought the Cover Girl or Maybelline versions. And the lipstick didn't look any different than my cheapie stuff, and it actually tasted worse!!! Save your money, sweetie- MAC is just an over-hyped designer product that dumb yuppies buy because they are elitists who feel like it must be better if it costs more.
Actually, I would tell you to go with Neutrogena cosmetics if you want to spend a little more money. Their products are all specially designed to make your skin healthy and most of them also include sunscreen to keep you from aging.

Mac is excellent make-up which lasts long and wears fantastic. It's the best make-up I've ever tried.
Fortunately, Mac manufactures a line of make-up at a much more affordable price, including great mineral make-up that is much less expensive then Bare Minerals.
If anyone's interested in the link to this site, I'll send it. For obvious reasons, Mac doesn't want everyone to know about this line, so I can't mention the name in a public post.

it depends on where u live
normally in canada the average makeup cost is 20 dollars
and it ranges i also have a lipgloss which is about 40. Mac is a very good brand nd they have very interesting lines and collections. but since u are 13 and ur parents r not financially stable at the moment i dont think u should be worrying about it ... ur 13 hun .. and i say enjoy ur youthful skin because once u start wearng makeup it kills it. once u have a earning i sehhhh it does not hurt to splurge.
to take alook at the makeup go to

It has a very high pigment in it, which causes it to be more expensive- but in comparison to other brands it really isn't. The only thing its more expensive then is drugstore brands. I saw the other day the high pigment make up from loreol - or whatever for 11.99 and mac is 14.00 for the same thing, spend the money its worth it. I spent about 4,000 in mac makeup last year, and i don't regret it!

MAC makeup is expensive because it is only found in department stores. Whatever you buy at a department store like make-up, it is going to be a pretty expensive price. I think around $18 for one product.

Don't bother...honestly. I bought a tiny-@ss pot of gold eyeshadow from MAC, literally, it's so small, and it cost £10 (I'm not sure what that is in dollars). Their make-up is nice but it's so overpriced.
You will be able to find lots of nice make up from cheaper brands like Loreal Paris or Boujoir.....they have nice make-up and it's much cheaper than MAC

i only use MAC foundation. Its the best around. but its about $40 for a compact. High in quality. MAC is usually in the mall or in department stores. The price is because of quality and selection.

Just because of the brand name and nothing else. I have some Mac make up but there is nothing more special about it than the other stuff I use. I personally think there are better brands out there.
