I am also over 40 and have always had a love of fashion and enjoyed having my own look. Now when it came to makeup my look was always quite boring except for maybe the bright lips, I started experimenting w/more color after the age of 38. I have to admit that sometimes I do feel I’m too old for certain things, but than I start to think…. HEY, Life is too short, Enjoy it!
BTW: I’m not gonna lie and say everything is OK….. I won’t wear mini’s, halter tops, all over bright/frost/shimmer makeup or puffy/poufy dresses (Ok, maybe no one over the age of 5 should wear puffy dresses).

My most favorite MA was in her late 50s or early 60s and she was the best! She was a great example of MAC being for all ages, races, and colors.
I agree that MAC has something for everyone and it doesn't matter how old you are!
I will wear MAC forever even when I have to use a walker to get in the store/counter!

i'm only 23, but the majority of my favorite regular customers are over 30, some of those are even over 40. i never have a problem finding them colors they like, or have problems with them feeling "too old" for mac.
also, i've got my mom wearing all mac makeup, and she's 59!

i was introduced to mac by someone over 30, nearly 40 and lots of the people that work at mac where i live are older than that. Plus all the older people have $$$

I usually visit my local MAC store with my teenaged daughter.
I'm 50, and have had a really busy life, so I really didn't bother with makeup until last year. (At this point, I figure it's a public service!
)
I don't use the bright colors, but loved the N Collection and find a lot of great neutrals. Love the lippies, too, and find a nice range between nudes and scary (to me) bright reds.
I've always had good service from everyone, and I'm certainly no designer-head-to-toe hot fashion plate!
As for whether MAC is marketed to a younger crowd, I don't believe it is. I think it's perhaps just less intimidating than most department stores to a lot of teens and twenties. At that age, I wouldn't have known where to start.

Certain collections are (Fafi is very youthful, as I imagine Heatherette will be), but there are a lot of classic shades in stuff like the N collection or in the perm collection

I am turing 30 in a month and 1/2 and I can't imagine that MAC will be too young for me. My mother always told me you are only as old as you feel! So, today I will be heading to MAC to pick up the Fafi collection...
Note: I do tend to stay away from the super bright colors (i.e Chrome Yellow) because I work in corporate america/and they are not really my style. But MAC has a lot of great colors for all ages...

nope - mac has marketed so many neutrals it would be hard to say its only for under 30s. N Collection is a good example, lots of the pigments fall into neutral colour schematics and there are soooo many lippies and e/s its impossible to pick them all. In almost every collection there is at least one of something neutral or a widely appealing colour and it would be super silly of mac NOT to - neutrals and "easy to wear" colours appeal the broader demographic, they would be shortfalling their annual sales figures if they stopped...LOL!
