It’s the news beauty lovers have been waiting for.
MAC Cosmetics products will be available to buy at Boots, both online and in selected stores, from next week.
The beauty brand has announced that from 29 July there will be a curated selection of its popular products available to purchase at Boots.
MAC says it hopes the move will make its products more accessible to both new and existing customers.
Although you can pick up MAC products in department stores, it’s not as widely available as some other brands.
Terry Barber, director of make-up artistry at MAC, commented: ‘Everybody shops at Boots. The idea that they now will carry some of the MAC legends, like Studio Fix, Strobe Cream or Fix+, is exciting. MAC is a people’s brand and, through Boots, it’s now closer to the consumers who love it.’
To celebrate the launch, MAC is giving up to five people the chance to win a one-to-one virtual session with a senior makeup artist, alongside £250 worth of MAC goodies.
It’s also giving away 500 MAC lipsticks, all you have to do is sign up to the waiting list before 27 July.
Fiona Sainty, vice president of MAC Cosmetics UK and Ireland, said: ‘This is an exciting time for MAC, as a brand we have always set the industry standard and by joining forces with Boots we are making prestige cosmetics and artistry more accessible to high street shoppers.’
The move comes after several large department stores, such as John Lewis and Debenhams, have closed their doors due to the impact of coronavirus.
