MAC

Lipstick is where most people start with MAC. Powder Kiss gives a soft, blurred matte, Locked Kiss Ink is made for long wear, and Lustreglass covers sheer-shine lipsticks and glassy lip tints. MAC began in Toronto in 1984 as a makeup artist brand and is now part of The Estée Lauder Companies. Its cushion compacts, like the Studio Fix Longwear Cushion and Studio Radiance Serum Cushion, are a bigger part of the line in Asia, with shades sorted by MAC's NC and NW codes. The Pro Brow Styler pencils round things out. We buy every MAC order in Japan, so you can find the cushion or shade your local counter skips and have it sent with duties prepaid.
