About MAC

MAC Cosmetics is a professional makeup brand founded in 1984 and now part of the Estée Lauder Companies, with the UK store trading at maccosmetics.co.uk alongside standalone boutiques such as the Carnaby Street flagship in London. The catalogue covers Foundation, Concealer, Lipstick, Lip Liner, Lip Gloss, Blush, Eyeshadow, Mascara, Brows, Skincare and Gifts, with signature ranges including Studio Fix, MACximal Silky Matte, MULTISCULPT, the Mini icons line and the charitable VIVA GLAM collection. The brand sits behind major artist-led launches such as the Nudes Collection and the Protect The Dolls capsule. Pair the latest free-gift-set events and seasonal capsules with a MAC discount code from this page to bring the basket subtotal down further.

MAC Newsletter Discount

New customers can save 15% on their first order at MAC when they sign up to the email newsletter through the homepage signup form. The welcome code is sent by email after registration and is applied at the basket alongside any other MAC voucher code that the customer is eligible to use, with one promo code permitted per order. Subscribers also receive previews of new launches, the Free Gift Set events that surface across the year and seasonal exclusives such as Black Friday, Mother's Day and Christmas drops.

MAC Student Discount

Verified UK students can save up to 20% off MAC orders through a recognised student verification portal linked from the website. Students sign in to the relevant portal, complete the verification step and receive a unique MAC promo code to enter at the basket. The student code applies to qualifying lines and is redeemed in the same Promotion Code field used for any other MAC voucher code; the discount excludes Mini MAC, VIVA GLAM, value sets, gift cards, eGift cards and delivery charges, and cannot be combined with another active offer in the same order.

Back to MAC Recycling Programme

Back to MAC is the brand's long-running recycling programme that rewards customers for returning empty MAC product containers to a participating MAC store. Bring six clean MAC empties back to the till to choose a free MAC lipstick from the qualifying selection, with the lipstick choice handed over in store rather than as a delivered order. The Back to MAC reward sits separately from any consumer MAC discount code from this page, so the in-store lipstick can be picked up alongside an online order using a separate voucher code.

MAC Delivery Options

MAC ships across the UK with a paid standard tier that goes free at a moderate spend threshold, and a MAC discount code applied at the basket does not affect the delivery charge or its threshold.

• Standard Delivery: Charged at the rate shown at checkout, free on UK orders of £30 or more or on every order when the customer is signed in to a MAC account.
• Express Delivery: Available at a higher published rate at checkout for time-sensitive orders.
• Click and Collect: Selectable at checkout with collection from a Click and Collect Store or Access Point; the option is shown on the basket page when the chosen items qualify.
• Order Tracking: A dispatch confirmation email with parcel tracking is sent once the order leaves the warehouse.

MAC Returns Policy

MAC offers free returns on all online orders, and a MAC voucher code applied to the original order does not affect the right to return.

• Return Window: 30 days from the date of purchase to send items back for a refund.
• How to Start a Return: Print the returns note included with the order, repackage the item and create a free returns label through the Royal Mail website.
• Refund Method: Refunds are credited back to the original payment method within up to 14 working days of receipt at the warehouse.
• In-Store Returns: Items can be returned to any standalone MAC store with the original order confirmation, excluding department-store concessions and airport locations and excluding orders paid via PayPal, Klarna or Clearpay.
• Faulty Items: Faulty or damaged items should be reported immediately to MAC customer service with the order number and photo evidence.

How to Use a MAC Discount Code

Applying a MAC discount code at the online checkout takes just a few steps.

• Browse and add to bag: Visit maccosmetics.co.uk and add the chosen lipstick, foundation, eyeshadow or skincare items to the bag.
• Open the basket: Click the bag icon in the top right to review the order and quantities before checkout.
• Enter the code: Locate the Promotion Code field at the basket and type the MAC voucher code exactly as it appears, including any capital letters, then apply.
• Confirm the saving: Check that the reduction is reflected in the order total before continuing to delivery and payment.
• Note: Most MAC promo codes apply to qualifying full-price items only and exclude Mini MAC, VIVA GLAM, value sets, gift cards, eGift cards and delivery charges.
