MAC Makeup: What to Know
The MAC Cosmetics company was founded in Canada in 1994. MAC makeup is known for its vibrant color combinations and bold look in makeup. Since MAC makeup is rich in pigment, its colors are the most eye catching in the industry. With names like Electric Eel, Purple Haze and Chrome Yellow, even the MAC color descriptions are interesting and unique. Although its color palette is what MAC makeup is most popular for, the company also offers skincare, makeup application tools including makeup brushes and fragrance.
A visit to a MAC makeup store is very interactive, with makeup artists on hand to help the customer decide on what colors look best on them, and suggestions for uncommon color and product combinations. Custom eye shadow color palettes can be created for each client, as well as precise skin matching services for a foundation that blends easily. MAC makeup artists are also available for special occasions with an hourly fee. Group rates are also available for larger parties. At most MAC counters, you can get a free makeover if you purchase $50 or so of makeup products.
MAC cosmetics is also known its commitment to social issues. The MAC AIDS fund is just one of the many humanitarian projects MAC is involved with.
Recent celebrities who endorse and advertise for MAC Cosmetics include Lady GaGa and Cindy Lauper. Past spokespersons were Dita Von Teese and Stacey “Fergie” Ferguson.
With stores in over 60 countries, MAC Cosmetics has quickly become one of the most popular makeup destinations in the world. They also have programs to help support children, and recycling. If you bring six empty MAC makeup containers back to a MAC counter or freestanding store, you can exchange them for a free lipstick of your choice. This is a great way to help the environment while getting free makeup!
Overall, give MAC a try if you haven’t yet. You’re likely to discover some of your “can’t live without them” makeup and cosmetics products.
