Mac makeup, why doesn't my local store have Mac?

No Mac make-up at Debenhams

No Mac makeup at Debenhams Northampton

The problem we have in not being able to buy Mac products in Northampton is compounded further in that if I do want to buy Mac, I must travel all the way to Debenhams in Milton Keynes.



Why hasn't the make-up section in Debenhams Northampton got a Mac counter? Any woman that really knows her make-up is quite likely to favour Mac above all else. I know I do.

29-3-2008I just moved to Bristol from NYC! Luckily there is a MAC store at Debenhams that's not too far away. I am black and Choctaw native American, so it's not always easy to find the right shade of foundation. I've tried Clinique, Lancome, and others, but found to get the right shade, I had to...moreMoxie girl
22-3-2008I totally agree! I'm sick and tired of having to order make-up online.. What irks me the most is that even if Boots, Super drug, Debenhams do supply make-up for African Carribean they only do 2 shades Tan or Mocha.. while white people have over 20 different shades to select from.. I thinks it ju...moresarah
22-1-2008OH DEAR. What will you do? Make up is make up. It's all the same.YEAh
09-11-2007I don't even have a Debenhams (its been 'in the works' and owns the land, just has yet to build) let alone a Mac make up counter. I just stock up when I fly, that way I get it duty free as well and you get different products available at different airports. I know that may not be a feasa...moreFrequent Flyer
23-10-2007Sorry to tell you but Debenhams in Leicester have a huge Mac counter..... Now Fred!! It is not about wanting to whack it on with a trowel as you so delicately put, it is about the variety of colour for differing skin tones that Mac offers, also the supporting products and the most important thing is...moreRich
22-10-2007I was hoping someone would have kept a lid on this. I think you may have just pushed western civilisation over the edge!!! .......sorry wrong subject, my boyfriend just told me this is no big deal and just ditch the slap, it won't do you any harm. Which probably sounds harsh, but he says I ...morePussy Galore
20-10-2007I agree. my debenhams had clinique but not one pale enough for me, if clinique can't match you a foundation who can?younastycheapskateyou
18-10-2007If your aspirational business people you'ld probably accept that there's a reason that Debenhams don't supply Mac as I'm sure their buyers would have already researched. Also, a trip one junction down the M1 is barely a hardship if you really want it. Besides, regardless of any p...moreMc BigMac
18-10-2007Beautiful women don't need make-up. Why plaster all this gunk over your faces, as they say beauty is only skin deep. I know plenty of male colleages who's girlfriends don't use makeup, or probably just a little lipstick. How many times have you been out, and seen all these women with ...moreFred
