About

Today MAC is the #1 prestige makeup brand globally, operating through a network of freestanding stores, department store counters, and its own e-commerce channels in approximately 150 countries. The brand is particularly renowned for its professional-grade pigments, inclusive shade ranges across all skin tones and genders, and its VIVA GLAM line, which has raised over $535 million USD for HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ+ causes since 1994.
