The Estée Lauder Companies just announced that MAC Cosmetics will be available in over 500 Sephora stores across the U.S. and online starting in early 2026.
The move builds on successful MAC partnerships with Sephora in Canada and Europe and marks the brand’s first major launch in Sephora stores in the U.S. MAC makeup will also be offered at Sephora at Kohl’s locations, and on the retailer’s website.
“This strategic collaboration is the result of years of successful partnership with Sephora in global markets, and we are proud to debut MAC Cosmetics with Sephora in the US for the first time in early 2026,” said Tara Simon, President, The Americas, ELC. “We are deeply committed to delivering Sephora US clients a dynamic shopping experience, both in-store and online, while continuing to innovate, inspire creativity, and build community.”
The launch comes as MAC looks to attract younger consumers amid sales challenges in Asia and travel retail. The expansion will complement existing department store counters while strengthening MAC’s presence in the U.S. market.
Makeup fans have expressed mixed feelings online, though dedicated MAC enthusiasts are sure to go wherever this brand takes them.
