MAC Pigments: Old vs. New


If you haven't already heard MAC has decided to downsize in the quantity (weight) of their pigments.  If you're a MAC pigment user you'll know that the old MAC pigments contained a lot of product in it (7.5g of pigment to be exact). The new MAC pigment contains only 4.5g of pigment.  The new packaging comes in a much sleeker and taller but slimmer jar.  I have to admit I really like how it looks but I don't like the fact that there's less product in it.  It's a little bit bothersome because you're still paying the same price as the old packaging.  You are losing product which to me seems unfair.  Why they decided to downsize is beyond me.  I know that with the old packaging it would take you forever to finish 1 jar anyways but that's besides the point.  MAC if you're going to downsize in product at least lower the price too!  That's my 2 cents.  What's your opinion?

  1. from MAC's point of view...it's brilliant! they know there is a great demand and they are confident with their product. downsizing them wouldn't stop you from buying them, right?

    from the artist point of view...gotta start venturing to other brands if necessary....XD
