MAC Cosmetics’ internal seasonal magazine, which ceased publishing in 2017, is being digitally revived for a new audience almost a decade later as maximalist make-up makes its comeback

MAC Cosmetics is reintroducing its seasonal publication, MACzine, nearly a decade on from its last issue.

The MACzine served as a “seasonal style manifesto for internal MAC Artists” between 2009 and 2017.

The colour cosmetics brand announced in an Instagram post that the magazine will be digitally revived, coming soon for “All Ages, All Races, All Genders”.

MAC Cosmetics Global Ambassador Doja Cat will front the first issue.

Nicola Formichetti, Global Creative Director of MAC, wrote in his first editor’s letter: “Back in the day, MACzine was our creative playground.

“It was where we experimented and brought some of our most daring ideas to life.

“At MAC, we have everything you need to play with your look and express yourself, from minimal to maximal.

“As the world shifts and bold, confident make-up makes its return, this feels like the perfect time to bring it back.

“So, welcome to MACzine.

“Let us embrace this new chapter and create the future of beauty together – it is time to have fun with make-up again.”

The first issue is expected to drop on 29 January 2026.
