M.A.C Cosmetics Set to Join Sephora U.S. in a Major 2026 Expansion
In a significant move in the beauty industry, M.A.C Cosmetics is officially joining the U.S. retail lineup of Sephora. The launch is planned for select Sephora stores and Sephora at Kohl’s locations in early 2026. This marks a major expansion for the artistry-driven brand that has been collaborating with Sephora on an international level for years.
Founded in 1984, M.A.C has built its reputation on professional-grade products and inclusive beauty, serving “every age, race, and gender.” This partnership unites two beauty powerhouses, both renowned for championing creativity and self-expression in the industry.
The expansion will grant U.S. consumers access to M.A.C’s full range of cult classic products and professional-grade formulations. These have made the brand a favorite among makeup artists worldwide. The move also reinforces M.A.C’s ongoing mission of inclusivity, further reflected in initiatives like its VIVA GLAM campaign. This campaign has raised over $535 million globally for HIV/AIDS support.
The announcement comes as the beauty retail landscape continues to evolve, with major brands seeking strategic partnerships to expand their reach. M.A.C’s entry into Sephora U.S. represents a significant opportunity for both brands to tap into new customer segments and strengthen their market positions.
While specific launch dates and participating store locations have not been detailed, the partnership is expected to roll out across select Sephora locations throughout 2026. This will bring M.A.C’s professional artistry expertise to a broader U.S. audience.
