With a mere 252 lipsticks available from its site right now, MAC Cosmetics has a basically unfathomable quantity of products available from its range. That's why we're not surprised that many of its best products fall through the cracks . . . that is, unless you're in the know. On a press trip to Toronto, we caught up with 10 internationally adored beauty influencers in the process of making their own MAC lipsticks. Considering they have so much hands-on experience with the brand, we asked them for their thoughts on the most underrated products from the range. Some of them were so under the radar, we'd never even heard of them. Keep reading to discover their favorites, and don't be surprised the following slideshow triggers a shopping spree!

Multiple beauty influencers declared that the Mineralize Skinfinish powders do not get enough credit for how wonderful they are. "Give Me Sun is honestly the most beautiful bronzer in the entire world," gushed Gabriel Zamora. "The consistency of the powder is so fine that it just looks like skin."

Samantha Ravndahl agreed. "When I worked at MAC, it didn't get any love. But it just looks gorgeous," she said. "It doesn't look cakey. It is a nice, luminous-looking powder, but it still mattifies and sets your makeup."

MAC Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Satin Taupe

Brazilian influencer Victoria Ceridono explained that there is no word for taupe in Portuguese. "In English, you have a name, but in Portuguese, you would call it gray or you would call it brown, but it's neither," she said. "So a long time ago, I started calling it a 'rat shade,'" she joked. Many of her fans associate her with the "rat eye shadow" that she loves so much.

"It goes with everything," she added. "It's in between gray and brown and kind of champagne, and it has a bit of purple in it, so it's such a neutral." She recommends using it as a transition shade when blending a smoky eye.

MAC Cosmetics Oil Control Lotion

This product wasn't on our radar before we chatted with Nikkia Joy. "MAC is more known for the makeup, so it kind of gets hidden," she explained. "It's incredible and no one ever talks about it." She applies it on herself and clients with oily complexions before using primer, and she swears it stops oil production. "It works wonders!" she exclaimed. The professional makeup artist has only been using it for about six months, but has already used up three bottles of the formula.

"I think most people are buying MAC lipsticks, but I think they are not using the eye shadow as much," Caro Daur said. She had never used the brand's eye shadow before a makeup artist used it on her, and now she is obsessed. A self-professed cinnamon-lover, she gravitated to a specific shade that reminds her of the spice, Amber Lights. The warm bronze gold would flatter a multitude of complexions and eye colors.

Marie Lopez revealed that cream blush isn't particularly popular in France, but she is a huge fan of this warm coral-hued formula. "It stays longer [than powder]," she explained, "and it is easier to blend with foundation."

MAC Cosmetics Lip Conditioner

This superemollient balm can be used as a soothing lip treatment or prelipstick to provide a smooth canvas. It also has leagues of fans. "It's not talked about as much as it should be, because it's great," said Samantha Ravndahl.

Fouz AlFahad added, "I've been obsessed with the Lip Conditioner, and every time I told a friend about it, they didn't know about it. They know more about the Lip Primer than the conditioner."

"It will change the way you do your eye makeup," Alessandra Steinherr said definitively. She uses all over the lid for subtle definition, as a base for a smoky eye, and in the crease to shape her eyes, depending on the look she's going for. "I even use it under my cheekbones for subtle sculpting," she added.
