Though the representative listed some synthetic ingredients that concerned me, she said that in her experience no one with sensitive skin that she's worked with has had any problems with the cosmetics, so I decided to try them out.
I decided to choose cosmetics included in their "A Muse" line of makeup. This look is one that focuses on 60s mod chic and involves playing up the eyes with dramatic shapes, color and intense dark lashes, while playing down the lips with sleek shades of neutral or bright pink.
I chose "charm factor" lip stick, some "ciao, manhattan" lip
gloss for accenting over the lip stick. I also picked out a matching lip liner pencil. I didn't want to try too many cosmetics since I was a little dubious about the sensitivity issue, so I added one whole face product, a liquid foundation.
When the products arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the lightness of the liquid foundation. It did not irritate my skin at all and was comfortable several hours later. It didn't need to be touched up for at least eight hours or so. I can't say the same thing for my usual liquid foundation.
I was equally impressed with the lip color, gloss and pencil. The colors were just as rich and vibrant as in the pictures on the website. The lipstick and even the lip liner pencil were very creamy and rich, at the same time light enough that I felt my pores were still able to breathe.
I was so impressed with my original purchase of Mac Cosmetics that I have since returned to try out their other products. I've tried everything from the shimmery finishing powders to some of the more dramatic eyeliners and eye shadow colors. The only complaints I have is that popular colors sell out too fast and I don't live near a Mac Cosmetics store.
