MAC Cosmetics

MAC Cosmetics: The Global Artistry Powerhouse and High-Velocity Retail Anchor MAC Cosmetics (Make-up Art Cosmetics), part of The Estée Lauder Companies, is the world’s leading professional makeup authority and a Tier-1 Anchor Tenant for premier Malls, Street, and Lifestyle developments. Since its inception in 1984, the brand has been a primary foot-traffic driver, appealing to a "all ages, all races, all genders" demographic. As of 2026, MAC is executing a significant strategic pivot, expanding its physical reach via a landmark partnership to launch in Sephora U.S. locations and Sephora at Kohl's in early 2026. This move complements its existing ecosystem of high-productivity Free-Standing Stores (FSS) and premium department store counters. For developers, MAC represents a high-sales-per-square-foot tenant with institutional-grade credit and a proven ability to anchor high-prestige beauty and fashion corridors. Its stores act as "Artistry Hubs," offering in-store makeup services that drive high dwell times and secondary spending in surrounding retail and hospitality units.
