Small-Batch Rainbow Highlighters

MAC Underground is an Exclusive for 1,000 Loyal MAC Customers

Just 1,000 people will receive the new MAC Underground collection, which is launching exclusively for MAC Lovers who are members of the brand's loyalty program. This new launch is a notable one for the iconic makeup brand as it sets itself apart as a small-batch release that reflects a different way to create and distribute products in response to the changing climate. MAC created the limited MAC Underground collection at what it calls "hyper speed," reflecting a faster version of the traditional workflow.

A small number of MAC Lovers will get to experience MAC Underground and new releases like the Extra Dimension Skinfinish highlighter in a Pride rainbow shade called Precious.
