MAC PRESENTATIONS?

Shanus — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 12:34:06 GMT

Unless I missed it, have there been any MAC shows? I'd think acquiring MAC would be a real coup and Q would be anxious to show it off.

It's definitely a well-known, makeup artists' line and definitely more profitable than the CARMINDY line the Q counted on to bring in big money.

Can't see Mac making it on QVC/HSN. Their S&H are outragous. Mac has free S&H and now has Afterpay which I guess is similar to Easy/Flex Pay. I'm sure you're aware of all this.

Seems like a bad time to launch a new make-up line - certainly is for me. Except for my brows, I use nothing from my make-up collection. Some day I will, but not until I don't need a mask. Already that day is way farther off than I thought it was the day I ordered 100 disposables in May!

Maybe Q's just at a loss what to offer that may sell. Clothing is on clearance...most are staying close to home. Makeup? Most of us have cut back on what we're using. Jewelry...again, many of us not purchasing more. It seems CIJ and food shows may hit the mark.

@ECBG Just remember that MAC started and still is a very editorial line.

@SurferWife I like their 9 shadow palettes (not sure they do them anymore) and there is an extensive line of glosses and lip liners. We don't have a free-standing MAC store, but when I see one, I'm like a kid in a candy store.

Their artists are well trained. Check out LisaJ on youtube. She used to be a MAC instructor.

I love Mac's lipsticks-beautiful colors! My oldest daughter wears all MAC makeup, but she buys it either directly from them on their site, or she goes to Macy's.....

why those two? Ick for both of them. Shawn hates makeup and seriously looks like she has black eyes, Leah, for me, is super boring and brings no excitement to any products she offers. Macy's, MAC site, Amazon much better pricings.

I wouldn't order from QVC as the shipping and returns are high. Many stores online have discount prices and free shipping. I'm lucky that Macy's near me as a MAC counter.

I agree, Pecky. Anytime I have ordered from Mac, S&H is always free an returns can be sent back or returned to a MAC stand alone store.

MAC has a huge number of products, they'd have to edit it down to offer on the Q, to the few "forgiving" shades for everyone, as they love to describe them
