FAQs
Is there MAC free delivery?

How can I contact MAC?
If you need to get in touch with MAC, you can give them a call on the following number: 08082 810230. Alternatively, you can use live chat through their website.
Does MAC contain animal products?
Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a vegan makeup product, you will have to look carefully at the ingredients of MAC products as some of them do contain lanolin (a waxy substance from sheep used to lock in moisture). The world of animal testing is a massively debated topic, understandably so, and one of the industries seriously affected by this conversation is the makeup industry. While some companies have successfully made the leap to vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics, others are still making strides in the right direction. It is worth regularly checking which brands are vegan and cruelty-free as this is constantly changing as more companies take bigger strides.
How do you become a MAC Pro?
Becoming a MAC Pro is super simple and can connect you with a huge collection of makeup professionals from around the world right away. If you are a makeup student or professional, you need to fill in one of their MAC Pro applications, provide proof of profession and payment information. You will then be notified about whether your application was approved within 3 days.
What is the returns policy at MAC?
If you're not 100% happy with your MAC purchase and would like to return your MAC product, this is no problem. At MAC, they have a 30-day returns policy so you'll have 30 days from your purchase date to do so. All returned items must be in their unopened, original condition with all the labels attached.

How do we source promo codes and deals?
We have an experienced team of 5 deal experts based in our offices in Cardiff and London, who are dedicated to finding promo codes, deals and sale highlights for Marie Claire vouchers.
Our London team keep in touch with retailers directly to get a heads up on upcoming discount codes as well as negotiate exclusive promo codes that you won’t find anywhere else. Meanwhile, our Cardiff team partners with affiliate networks and research the web to source the latest discount codes, and put them right here on our dedicated retailer pages. The offers we show you are updated at least twice a week.
To top it off, we have a Bath-based team of editors that have a background in saving money on fashion and beauty products. Using their experience and knowledge of the industry, our editors seek to offer additional ways to save at the retailer outside of using a promo code. Our FAQs and money-saving tips about each retailer are fact-checked and updated every three months.
What if my promo code doesn’t work?
We try hard to avoid listing promo codes that don’t work. To do this we:
- Test the promo codes ourselves to make sure they’re valid.
- We don’t list unique codes that only work once.
- We give as much information as we can to avoid any terms and conditions trickery.
However, sometimes details change or codes expire without us knowing. If you find this to be the case, you can get in touch by emailing vouchers.marieclaire@futurenet.com and letting us know.
How do we make money?
It’s simple, we get a small percentage of the money that you spend with a brand or retailer - a commission. When you use deals and promo codes listed here at Marie Claire vouchers, we get a small share of the retailer's profit as thanks for helping them connect with a new customer. And that’s how we make money while you save money.
