Notes:
Innumerable YouTube channels are dedicated to the wonders and versatility of MAC's products.
MAC is most well known for the variety of skintones covered by their face makeup as well as the vibrancy and pigmentation of their color cosmetics.
They have formulations to match every fan (cream, liquid, powders) and range the gamut of newbie or everyday makeup fan to experienceed backstage and theatrical user and/or artist.
MAC's brushes are legendary, long-lasting, and versatile (as are most of their products).
MAC's pigments are one of the landmark versatile products. Powdered pigments are used in a variety of ways, ranging from eyeshadow to lipgloss, and even mixed with some of their fixers and foundations to add glamourous shimmer and glow to the skin.
MAC is also very well known for their special edition product launches at various times throughout the calendar year. Sometimes these launches include lesser quality brushes that, unlike the usual high-quality brushes they sell, are not handmade. These special editions also include discontinued colors or re-issued colors, as well as brand new, never before seen colors in a variety of products, to go along each launch's theme.
Their Viva Glam campaign is spearheaded by a new celebrity and aims at supporting the MAC Aids Fund--100% of Viva Glam purchase revenue is sent to the charity.
