The 9 MAC Gifts a Beauty Editor’s Adding to Her Own Wish List

As a longtime beauty editor, MAC is one of the rare brands that has maintained its effortlessly cool editorial energy ever since. to I have ever stepped into the world of makeup. My mom and her best friend treated this stall like a tour; the one where they “oohed” and “aaahed” over the lipstick while I stood next to them and took mental notes.

Decades later, now as a 30-year-old beauty editor who has worked with just about every brand under the sun, I still find myself turning to MAC again and again, starting with its Ruby Wu's red lipstick, Taylor Swift's favorite or something else new beauty launch lands on my desk. This is a brand I would give to my sixty-year-old mom with the same excitement as I would to a makeup-obsessed teenager.
