I began my career as a Makeup Artist and Cosmetic Tattoo Artist in the '90s and built my career into a well known Makeup Artist brand. Over the years I was fortunate enough to perfect my Makeup skills while working for M.A.C Cosmetics, Wilhelmina Modeling Agency and countless Wedding Photographers and Fashion Designers and have been featured in.

• MAC cosmetics was founded with a creative vision to fill the gap between makeup artistry and fashion photography. Two men, fashion photographer Frank Toskan and salon chain owner Frank Angelo launched their fashion forward line in Toronto in 1985 to meet the high demands of entertainment and beauty professionals.
• A MAC makeup artist shares his best hacks for achieving that natural makeup look. From getting a fresh foundation finish to super natural eye makeup, these are the tips you need to know.

Any celeb who loves makeup wants their name emblazoned across MAC's famous brush sets, color palettes, lipstick tubes, and compacts, but only a few lucky legendary ladies (and two gentleman) actually got their own line, so far. The late Queen of Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, currently holds the title for the best-selling collection of all time, while Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Sharon and Kelly Osbourne come after her, rounding out the top five coveted spots. Even Cinderella and Barbie made the top 10, with others like Raquel Welch, Taraji P. Henson, Brooke Shields, and Lorde nabbing places in the top 20.

Just what do you need to qualify for consideration though? 'I like to think when we collaborate we're just pulling in members of an extended family — some of them might be strange aunts, strange uncles, but they all somehow belong and seem to fit,' says MAC Cosmetics Senior Vice President & Group Creative Director, James Gager. 'The experience is very intimate. We ask people to bring in their makeup bags and spill out products.” Um, I'd love to sit in on those meetings.

Check out the full list below to see which collections were most popular and make your guesses for who you think will be the next major celebrity collaboration. (My money is on Cleopatra — those liquid liners would be dope.)

1. Selena

It's easy to see why Selena's was the best-selling collection of all time. In addition to being a music icon lost too soon (with millions of loyal followers that still celebrate her to this day), the collection itself is gorgeous. Look at those lipstick shades!

2. Mariah Carey

The diva's 2016 collection sold out within 24 hours, making it the second highest selling celeb launch in M·A·C history.

3. Rihanna

Mac For Makeup Artists For Artists

RiRi Hearts MAC was the only celeb collab to take on not one, but three back-to-back seasonal collections: Summer, Fall and Holiday. Rihanna's famous RiRi Woo shade, a play on the brand's iconic Ruby Woo color (four are sold every minute around the globe), sold out within three hours of the first launch.

4. Nicki Minaj

Minaj personally designed a limited-edition lipstick dubbed 'Pink Friday' to celebrate the release of her album of the same name. Apparently everyone was into wearing pink on Fridays (in addition to Wednesdays) because it landed her the number four spot.

5. Cinderella

Mac Makeup Artist School

Famous for undergoing one of the prettiest makeovers in Disney history *and* her own MAC line.

6. Kelly & Sharon Osbourne

The cheeky mother-daughter collab was inspired by their signature red and violet color palettes and the fact that they love makeup *almost* as much as Ozzy.

7. Barbie

I mean, #OBVIOUSLY.

8. The Toledos

The first husband-wife duo to land a MAC collab was fashion designer Isabel Toledo and her illustrator artist husband, Ruben. Their whimsical packaging was just as fun as their bold mascara and eyeliner hues.

9. Catherine Deneuve

As a former muse of Yves Saint Laurent, French actress Deneuve earned herself the number nine spot. Très chic.

13. Diana Ross

That hair, those lips, those lashes..#QUEEN.

14. Marilyn Monroe

Famous Makeup Artists

Given the fact that Ms. Monroe was known for having perfect bone structure and cheekbones, she should rightly have a blush called 'The Perfect Cheek' in her makeup repertoire.

15. Taraji P. Henson

Obviously it was only a matter of time before Empire's Cookie received her MAC makeup medal of honor. Products for flawless skin and the ultimate nude lip were among the stars of this collection.

16. Ellie Goulding

The English princess of pop scored herself a roundup of gorge pinky-beige bronzers, shadows, pencils and glosses.

17. Brooke Shields

The iconic American actress, model and former child star also got the MAC treatment. Punchy bold hues stole the show in her 2014 assortment.

18. Lorde

Lorde's dark purple lip obsession set off a frenzied goth makeup wave reminiscent of the '90s with her 'Pure Heroine' lipstick launch.

19. Iris Apfel

When it comes to statement jewelry, major eyeglasses and a HBIC attitude, Iris wins. So does her MAC collab.

20. Beth Ditto

Mac Cosmetics School Of Makeup

Gossip front woman Beth Ditto worked with the brand to create one of their quirkiest collections, perfectly suited to her unique sense of style.

Who do you think deserves to have a MAC makeup collection next?

Inside of each Macy’s store, stylist experts are available to help you “discover tips, tricks and everything else you need to know to look and feel gorgeous,” according to the company’s makeup services section.

Offering a variety of sessions to meet any beauty needs you have, the costs of a Macy’s makeup appointment, depending on the reason for your visit, can be 100% free or in the case of an appointment, it may come at a cost.

How much does a Macy’s makeup appointment cost?

The costs of a Macy’s makeup appointment will greatly depend on the reason for your visit and the brand of makeup you’re interested in. If you want to try out new products and learn more about them while shopping inside of the store, then most of the time, these sessions will be free for most brands; however, according to the company’s website, some brands will not offer complimentary services. Some brands, such as MAC Cosmetics, however, may require you to purchase a few products before they start the session.

Why is it free?

As you can imagine, the stylist, who often has a connection, training or even works with the makeup brand you’re considering, will use the latest and best products for your unique situation in the hopes you purchase the products afterward. He or she will listen to your concerns, vision and try their best to pick out a product in the line that works, all in the hopes that you may purchase some products. While you do not have to purchase the product after your session completes, the stylist, again, either hopes you purchase a product or even considers purchasing it from them in the future. Stylists and associates do work on commission, so as you can imagine, each sale will add to their paycheck. This isn’t the case for all brands, however, as some cosmetic brands do not work on commission, only an hourly rate.

As of 2018, Macy’s offered complimentary services for the following brands, with very few brands charging a fee:

NOTE: These services are subject to change and are accurate as of this publishing date. For more information as to what brands may or may not charge, we encourage you to visit/talk with a local Macy’s store or visit this subpage for more information.

On this TheKnot.com forum thread, for example, the member who started the discussion asked if it was okay to have her makeup done at Macy’s and how much it would cost, and according to the responses, one person, who used to work for Clinique at Macy’s, said you had to buy $50 worth of items to get your makeup done, while another member, who used MAC products, had to buy $50 in products as well.

Tips to know

To book a free makeup appointment at your local Macy’s store, you can do so by visiting the official store scheduler. If you’re on a tight schedule or do not feel like waiting while inside of the store, it’s highly advisable you make an appointment as well as know the terms and conditions of the makeup appointment before showing up.

During the prom season, the Huffington Post states that you shouldn’t be surprised if there’s a small charge for applications or a cut-off to how many appointments are accepted during the day. The prom season, they said, is often the busiest part of the year and restrictions are often created to keep the area from overcrowding.
