M·A·C 40th Anniversary Bringbacks: Lipsticks We Almost Lost
There are lipsticks—and then there are legends. The M·A·C 40th Anniversary Bringbacks weren’t just a nod to nostalgia; they were a love letter to the shades we cried over when they vanished from shelves. “These were the shades people wrote pleas for. Posted eulogies about. Blew up M·A·C’s inboxes and tagged them in every damn post. And then—like magic—they were back.”. And then, as if the Vault gods heard us, they were back.
In a surprise celebration of four decades of dominance, M·A·C dropped 10 beloved lipstick shades from the archives. We managed to get our hands on eight of them: Haiku, Hot Gossip, Fleshpot, Chintz, Double Shot, Bubbles, Up the Amp, and Shanghai Spice. If you're a real one, your heart probably just skipped a beat.
These bullets come wrapped in black matte tubes with bright, bold branding that screams "limited"—because they are. These weren’t just relaunches. They were reconnections. Time machines. Love affairs reignited. And around here? We don’t let magic like that slip away again.
These lipsticks hold the weight of memory and makeup lore. From the soft shimmer of Bubbles to the cool purple flair of Up the Amp, each one deserves its own spotlight. And this is it.
