MAC, which stands for Make-up Art Cosmetics, was founded in 1984 and since then has grown in popularity exponentially. Originally created with the intention of providing high quality make-up solely to professional make-up artists, these days MAC makeup products are available to everyday consumers. Professional make-up artists and amateur artists alike can now enjoy MAC’s plethora of cosmetics. MAC’s professional-grade products can be found in boutiques and department stores such as Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom’s, and MAC outlets in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
MAC offers a wide variety of products including, but not limited to fragrances, primers, nail lacquer, lip products, eye products, skin care and hair care products, and accessories used for applying make-up. Some of our top recommendations include MAC’s Eyeshadow, Plushglass, Lipglass, Studio Fix Foundation and Technakohl Eyeliner. Custom palettes and a wide variety of other MAC products are offered online via the official MAC website, www.maccosmetics.com. The website is stylish and user-friendly. If possible, we recommend you find your nearest MAC counter so that you can see the makeup shades in person. MAC has very high caliber makeup artists working at each free standing store and makeup counter, so you can get professional help in choosing your foundation shade and other products to compliment your look. They provide free makeup tips on how to use various MAC products so you can best choose which products to purchase.
MAC boasts “cruelty-free beauty”. This means that neither MAC or the companies that supply the ingredients of their products are companies that participate in animal testing. In addition, MAC offers a recycling program that allows consumers to return empty containers in exchange for free MAC products. Professional make-up artists and students in the industry may opt to become part of the MAC Pro program. This program requires payment of an annual fee, but may also provide perks such as discounts.
Overall, if you haven’t tried out MAC makeup yet, you can be confident knowing it’s a solid cosmetics line. If you’re looking into purchasing your first products, we recommend you start with some basic products like neutral eyeshadow shades, the Studio Fix powder foundation or one of their Lipglasses or Plushglasses. These products will help you get a feel for whether or not MAC products are for you.
