MAC

Born in Toronto, Canada in 1984, MAC Cosmetics may have started as a small makeup company for artists, but it has long since grown into a global powerhouse - now owned by Estée Lauder Companies (full acquisition completed in 1998). Yes, MAC is originally a Canadian brand, but its influence stretches far beyond its roots thanks to its professional‑grade formulas, high‑quality pigments and iconic status across the beauty industry. Considered high‑end for its artistry heritage, inclusive shade ranges and backstage credibility, MAC makeup appeals to everyone from Pro Artists to beauty beginners. And with cult favourites like MAC lipstick, lip liner classics (Whirl, Cherry, Spice), mascara, eyeshadow, and MAC cosmetics foundation, the brand has become a universal go‑to for self‑expression. If you’re wondering how to find “your” shade, MAC’s undertone‑first system makes choosing super intuitive - whether you wear NC25 (suited to lighter golden undertones) or NC35 (ideal for medium‑depth warm skin tones).
