Hear that? It’s the sound of thousands of beauty lovers cheering and waving their makeup brushes in the air.
It’s M-Day. The day M.A.C lands at (literally) beauty Mecca.
Long requested by makeup addicts, the cult professional beauty brand will now be available outside of David Jones, Myer and stand alone stores. But why now? And how much it will cost you?
Here’s everything you need to know before you fill up that cart.
Why is M.A.C only landing in Mecca now?
Until now, M.A.C had only been available in Australia through department stores and M.A.C’s own boutiques.
“However the shift we’re seeing in shopping preferences toward multi-brand concepts offering brand agnostic service and advice is creating new opportunities for brands,” Marita Burke, Creative Director at MECCA told Mamamia.
Translation? The way we shop has changed and thus brands have had to too. Consumers are no longer as loyal to brands as they once were, so rather than relying on customer loyalty to go to their own stand alone stores, brands want (or need) to be in multiple places and amongst other brands to be tried and discovered.
“M.A.C is excited to be a part of this and we are equally as excited to welcome them in store and bring the world’s number one makeup brand to our customers.”
