...let you get a free lipstick OR a free eye shadow with Back to MAC. (I am always tempted by the new eye shadows that seems to come out so often.)

...bring out a set of mini lipsticks with the holiday sets again like they did a few years ago.

...would have more knowledgeable MA's or at least MA's who were not stingy with info about upcoming color stories. (Maybe hire some knowledgeable Specktra members!)

...would make their Holiday palettes bigger like they were for Holidazzle (2003).

...would make a shimmery yellow pot eye shadow (like Chrome Yellow, but with a little sparkle in it).

I second VuittonVictim wish "... offer discounts for purchases over a certain amount! Like getting a free e/s or lipglass for every purchase over $100!" Lets make it $65.00


Yes MAC Girl, I agree "...wait to release a colorstory every 3 months, becuase every month is VERY costly..."

I wish MAC would... have an archive w/actual color swatches of all of their limited edition & discontinued items.

Do gift with purchases every so often

Put a clear lid on the 15 pan

Release a color story of past popular shades

Release 1/2 sizes of pigments and sell them at 1/2 the full size pigment prices.

A lot of great ideas already...

~hire me too :P

~re-release Parrot at some point (or hey, what a novel idea... make it permanent!

~also re-release the Brass and Bronze pigments...

~the clear lid on the 15 pan is a good one too.

~GWP... but I hesitate because that would truly mean EL has taken over and I like MAC's individualism

~for B2M, let you choose between a few different items like a l/s, l/g, e/l, e/s (within a certain price limit).

~I'm *still* looking for the perfect nude l/s... something a smidge lighter than Moderne with more pigment might be it.

-Come out with a purple version of Deep Truth. Everything they have is either too matte, too pink, or too bright/light.

-Make THE perfect pink lipliner. Lighter than Dervish, less greyish than Test Pattern, less chalky than Girlfriend.

-Release a perfect shimmery silvered taupe Veluxe Pearl. Something similar to Shimma paint, maybe a touch less grey.

-Make a gunmetal grey Fluidline.

-Hurry up and re-stock Moisturefeed/Skin!

...space out their collections more.

Luckily I am only obsessed with their lipglasses, if not I can imagine myself being made bankrupt by MAC.

i really agree with the more accurae swatches on thier site and definatly do think they should have a twice a year sale or sumthing. They would make a killing!!! gift with pruchase would be awsome too! but i could see ebay scammers trying to sell those as extremly LE gift sets and shit lol

I second glittergoddes with
- post real swatches on their website (their colours are so far away from the real thing, Bobbi Brown for example makes nice, realistic samples online!)
- have a virtual makeover for some of their "looks" -wouldn't that be fun (Yeeees!)

I wish
- there would be a sheer cold toned cherry lipstick
- thei would have NC 25 in their TM

smaller pigment sizes (at a cheaper price of course!!).
make mothbrown e/s permanent!!
offer sets of pigments year round.
get more of choice for B2M, mainly l/g instead of l/s.

Would have a punch card for every 100.00 you spent you get a free product - your choice.


Took a customer poll to bring back favorite products that are now discontinued.

Have a Buy one get one free... ( not all the time but during the holidays )


There are so many things.. but these are a few.

...make some lighter lipliners, I have a hard time explaining this, but less brown or something...sort of along the lines of Little Tease, Girlfriend, Test Pattern, etc.

...make the perfect (permanent shade!) frosty bubblegum pink lipstick, like a cross between Pink Nouveau and Pink Freeze

...GWPs....at least just occasionally, maybe more like Prescriptives does than, say, Clinique or Lancome. I know they've done it before at a few department stores, they should do it again!

I agree with almost ALL of these ideas. I don't think I need to be hired by the company though. There are more talented people out there.

I would suggest mini fluidliners in the holiday palette. My friend came up with that idea. I just thought I'd post it.

1. have pictures of each shade/product instead of swatches.
2. release a book of looks you could buy at the counter
3. develop looks that use the products in each holiday set
4. give you a giftcard for a certain amount for back to mac so you could choose your product
5. Include one sample with every purchase so you don't have to beg or give you a postcard if you buy from a collection on the release date
6. Pre-sell the holiday kits online
