MAC Chinese New Year

The Chinese New Year in 2017 falls on 28 January, starting the year of the rooster. The Rooster is the tenth sign in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac. Years of the Rooster included 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993 and 2005. MAC Cosmetics took this opportunity to launch their new festive make-up line.
