But what was most inspiring was perhaps the simple fact that a massive global brand was conceived here, just outside of Toronto, and that production has never jumped ship to reduce costs. We think this is something to be proud of, since we assume that almost every mover and shaker, celeb and C-lister is sporting the newest gloss, glass, lipstick or shadow from MAC. You learn something new every day. Its preatty funny how people beleive in this. MAC is from china!!! Hi There, I am a makeup trainer in Australia, in our college we use MAC and I have been using it for over 6 years, I would love to visit the MAC factory when I head to Toronto next month, I was hoping you could give me details of whom I would speak to about this, a name or email would be much appreciated, I feel it would be great feedback for me to share with my students!
Kind regards JO. This sarat, I would like to know about your product, i want to export to back home, Cambodia. So what would I will do? Do you have any special price and item list on magazine? If possible I will ship to my back home Cambodia.
I do hope you reply back to me soon. Pro Membership Program was the first-ever membership program for makeup professionals in the industry. They get perks like getting the chance to attend master classes, networking events, and of course, a huge discount on every single M.
One man is largely responsible for creating all of the colors and concepts for the brand. He's responsible for thinking up all the colors and promotional materials surrounding the brand. His philosophy behind creating M. I don't like pretty. And frankly, I find things that are pretty to be very boring.
Celebrity Fashion Video. Instagram content View on Instagram. Keywords M. Labour costs have a lot to do with it, and also where they source the raw ingredients likely have something to do with it too. I was also surprised some mid to high end brands produce in China! I always look at where things are made and always read the backs of everything reading the backs of new shampoos and conditioners in the shower is a real hobby hahah.
I do like the read the backs of everything like on my shampoo and moisturisers but never made so much attention to where things are actually from. I also love their face powder. Germany is the best for pencils and sharpeners — and not just the makeup type, too! It does irk me when pricier brands are manufactured in China, though Smashbox, really? And then you have lower-priced Yves Rocher having a lot of their makeup made in their own country, France.
I wonder if there's a connection with MAC being mostly made in Canada, at all? That facility also made stuff for Maybelline, Laura Mercier, Lancome, etc. Yes Nars is owned by Shiseido but I think that was fairly recent? NOT cool, man. Their profit margin must be amazing!
How do the economics work? Re: makeup factory — Oh that is cool! I have liked some of their blush, eyeshadow and lip stuff.
Wonder what other brands are made there…. This is such a cool post! Haha, dork. So I actually already looked that up. I read somewhere not to buy makeup online that is from China because it has high amount of Lead and other things in it… Ehhh IDK. Yeah I heard about made in vs sold in China… Just sketchy.
This is really awesome post! Honestly never paid enough attention to this! That makes a lot of sense! I might need to pay more attention to this in the future. I think maybe I have too much trust in some brands sometimes! Wow, comprehensive list! Yup, I must say, I have very similar feelings on this topic. Shocker, because the ones that they sell individually 32g are made in USA. Such a shame, the miniatures are so cute. I returned everything.
I do wonder if the brands weigh the pros and cons of damaging their brand image when they make these decisions. Or, do most people not notice or care about where their products are made? I care and so do you. I am not even a beauty blogger. It is the pressure of higher margins for the beauty houses, I suppose? I mean, even those collaboration projects are made in China at times, check Becca x Jacklyn eye pallette for example.
I guess as a consumer we need to be more aware. I agree. I once fantasized about working at one of those places. What an interesting post!! I guess it makes a big difference! I have also seen in gift shops toiletries eg soap, lotion with European looking name and packaging but made in China.
Maybe their quality will improve as they get more sophisticated in manufacturing — who knows. I really dislike the practice of having limited edition or holiday collections or gwp for higher-end companies made in China — their quality is never on par with the regular line. I was looking at a Smashbox gift set that I purchased some time ago and have now noticed that the makeup items are made in China.
Hello, great post! I learned a lot and had concerns about where the skincare items and cosmetics were actually being manufactured.
Of course it matters, but we are never really schooled on how to buy cosmetics and what to look for. I agree with the comments about the special edition type pallets that outsource to China and then their product is not on par with the regular item, like the eye shadows. Thanks for your comment! I agree, the more they release cheaper limited edition items, the less people will trust their brand.
What a great and informative post! I am delighted to find someone who is just as obsessed as I am about knowing where the product was made. I agree with everything you wrote especially the part about not trusting products that come from China.
