- gift with purchase

- allow us to create our own looks on the website; we could select the products we want to use and the look would create itself step by step

- more pro products available on std mac website

I wish...

If you guys knew how many times people would ask if MAC had a GWP...I actually asked someone high up in the MAC food chain why we didn't do GWP...their reply: because then we'd be like all the other lines....yeah..that's what he said!

I wish they would:

Let me order with my PPID discount online - like NARS does, you have your own user name/password so even if your card was stolen they cant get in with just the number.

Once a year offfer a "retired" collection of e/s and lipglosses etc. But more eyeshadows.

Have their lipglosses last longer, - the last few I've gotten have turned on me much sooner than in the past and were brand new made in 2005.

Hire people who want to be there, and who DONT have an attitude.

I hope they dont :

Offer GWP's like EL and Clinique, - it would ruin the brand, raise prices higher and make them presell and all that shit, bleh!

Continue to hire people who have an attitude if you come in without makeup and wearing sweats - I like to shop comfy and who knows what I look like when I go out right?

I wish MAC would make a palette of all the fluidlines like smashbox did with their creme liners.

... make a truly transfer-resistant eyeshadow primer or make some sort of product to apply OVER shadow to prevent it from creasing or fading.

... stop making quads that contain colors that are already part of the real collection. Seedy Pearl is my biggest pet peeve. I'm psyched it was such a hit in Peverted Pearl that they made it a permanent fixture in the line-up once Snowgirl came around in the late fall of 2002. However, I don't need it in Liza PM in 2003 AND again in the Tease Me quad in 2004. Such the annoyance.

... make it so that all eyeshadows are easily removed from packaging to insert into palettes.

Oh yeah, a Pro Store anywhere in Scotland would also be good!

I am suggesting George Street, Edinburgh though!

In addition to offering face charts for each color story, it would be nice to see the products on a human being. I know there's always a model wearing the new colors on a post card or on the MAC home page. But this requires the usual detective work to figure out what the model is wearing. I loved what MAC did with its Bridal section--not only showing the makeup on real women, but showing how they achieved their looks. Something like that would be great for each color story!

...allow lipglasses/lustreglasses/eye shadow pots as B2M options, instead of just lipglasses.

...sell pro products on the rpo website without a pro membership.

I think the b2m should be 6 empty e/s=1 e/s, 6 empty l/s=1 l/s and 6 empty l/g=1 l/g... it's only fair!!!!!

I would never get enough of one to B2M if that was the case. Why not offer B2M in lipstick, eye shadow, or lipgloss for any 6 empties?

I wish MAC would only sell pan form of eyeshadow. That way you could get LE shadows in pan form.

Too much!!

Alright, first I want to say "Thank-you" to the other MAC MA's on here that talked some sense.

But, I unfortunately will be the MAC MA who is the biggest party pooper of them all!

1. Regarding all your issues with the MAC MA's. I understand that you all might have had some bad experiences with some Artists, BUT out of respect for the company and other MAC Artist's that view this site...keep those comments to yourself. I agree in that it's unfortunate to receive "bad service"..but that happens everywhere, and maybe you caught them on a bad day.

2. The reason MAC doesn't have GWP's or sales is because they don't have a budget for it, although you all might think that MAC's products are expensive, they're actually pretty reasonable compared to some of the Dept. store brands. To keep their prices reasonable and to continue to support the aids fund the way that they do, they let magazines, newspapers, billboards..etc. come to them. The media pays MAC to have MAC ads in their magazines, and all that money goes to the aids fund. That's all the advertising they need to do, the company is internationally known and recognized.

3. The colour stories come out so often now because of the way fashion works, make up is part of fashion and it is ever-changing so they have to keep up with the trends and the demand. You all might think it's too much but SURPRISE, aren't you all the ones who try to get your hands on the "newest, latest" stuff even before we MA's hear about it??? If they cut it back now, you would all be complaining that you were so bored with everything and that you'd want to see new stuff!! BTW....we are coming out with Lip Stains.

4. The point of B2M is to reward you for recycling and to benefit the aids fund........isn't that enough??!!

YES....some of the comments made here are good ones that could be helpful to the company as a whole and in that case I suggest that you go to your local MAC Counter or Store and ask the MA's for something called a "I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW", this is a little sheet of paper in which you can voice your ideas or opinions and they will get sent directly to Head Office...and trust me, they DO read them, this is how some of your fav colours have stuck around.

I say all of this because I am passionate about my job as a MAC MA and because I am passionate about MAC, if you all love MAC as much as you say you do then embrace it in it's entirety!!
