MAC Cosmetics has officially landed in Sephora USA, along with exclusive new launches like the Multisculpt Matte Liquid Eyeshadow + All-Over Color. This beauty product for the eyes and face offers fan-favorite nude shades in a new, 24-hour, multi-use formula that provides water-, sweat-, humidity- and transfer-resistant wear. Some of the highly anticipated shades in the lineup that can be used as eyeshadow or face contour include Stone, Cool Spice, and Tailor Gray.
MAC Cosmetics already has a strong presence in Sephora Canada, UK, Latin America, Europe and APAC, and for the first time in the company’s 41-year history, it is entering Sephora USA amidst a resurgence in makeup artistry and maximalist makeup, making legendary products more accessible to longtime fans and Gen Z.
