The riddle of time travel remains a nut science has yet to crack, but even though we can’t alter the past (yet), we can shape the future!
With the new MAC By Request collection, MAC is giving 18 of their former bestselling Eye Shadows, Lipsticks and Lipglasses a second chance at stardom, and it’s by people’s choice on Facebook.
The three top vote getters in each of the three categories will go on sale again in the limited edition release beginning this August in North America (online only) and in internationally sometime this fall.
Missing your favorite MAC colors from days of yore, like the kinder, gentler days of The Jersey Shore’s first season (when Sammi and the Situation were, like, a thing)? Act now, because MAC is taking requests for comeback colors. Now through March 30, cast your vote on Facebook for the colors you’d like to make an encore appearance in MAC By Request. The top nine fan favorite shades will go on sale again beginning this August, exclusively online.
I was able to track down 13 of the 18 eligible colors… Have you made your decision yet? Which of these former stars (three each per category) deserves a comeback? The shades not shown here are Candy Yum Yum and Moxie among the Lipsticks, Icescape among the Lipglasses, and Moth Brown and Solar White for the Eye Shadows.
I cast my votes for… 🙂
- Lipsticks: 3N, Eden Rocks and Rocker
- Lipglasses: Cult of Cherry, Flash of Flesh and Bait
- Eye Shadows: Cool Heat, Guacamole and Heavenly Bliss

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S.
Cool Heat is gorgeous!! Also loved Cult of Cherry and Rocker from the lip products!
Hi Corallista,
Cult of Cherry Lipglass is amazing. Love it!
YES, I voted! 🙂 I’m mainly pumped up about seeing Candy Yum Yum potentially being re-released. Unfortunately, I missed out on it the first time around, and it just looks like such a wild, fun, and unique shade, so I need it.
Hope you’re having a wonderful Friday, Karen! 🙂
Hi Swatch and Learn,
Mine’s going well, thanks! How about you?
It’s been a busy Friday, which is great! 🙂 And it’s been really sunny and mild out, too.
*gasps*
I think I need Guacamole! I’ll be praying for this one and Moth Brown to win. I’m just OK with the lipglasses, but it’d be great to have 3N too!
Hi Sunny,
Yeah, Guacamole’s cool. There were a few really nice shades from Salsabelle. Have you seen Parrot?

I voted for Solar White. 🙂
Good color, Chris!
The only one I see myself buying is Moth Brown!
Hi Emi,
Well I hope it makes it into the final collection! 🙂
I’ve definitely become smitten with Cool Heat and Moth Brown and Eden and Cult of Cherry could easily work their way into my heart.
Hi Ricky Blue,
That Cult of Cherry Lipglass is AWESOME. You’d love it!
Today I voted for Candy Yum Yum, Flash of Flesh, and Jete! Ultimately, I hope all of these guys win:
Lipsticks: CYY, 3N, and either Rocker or Eden Rocks (can’t decide which one I wanna rock out to! ;D)
Lipglasses: Flash of Flesh, Cult of Cherry, and Bait
Eyeshadows: This is the hardest one! I would love to see Jete, Guacamole, Moth Brown, AND Heavenly Bliss back. Grrr!
MAC needs to do this again with more colors and some blushes and MSFs!
Hi Summer,
Yeah, that would be awesome! There are quite a few MSF’s that I’d love to see come back to the counter.
Hope you’re having a lovely Friday!
Oh, thank goodness, swatches! *showers you with hugs*
Off to go vote now! 😉
Hi Rae,
Have fun voting! 🙂 I hope your pics make the cut.
my choices are:
Lipsticks: 3n, CYY and Moxie
Lipglass: 2n, Bait and Emancipation
Eyshadows: Moth Brown, Jete, Guacamole!
Hey Nina,
Great picks! 🙂 I see you’ve got both the N collection lip colors in there. Were you into MAC back in 2008?
I like Eden Rocks, and I only see myself wanting that. I’m not a fan of their lipglasses.
Hi Lisa,
Eden Rocks is super pretty. Hope it makes the final cut!
Cool Heat looks gorgeous!
I’m excited for Cult of Cherry lipglass!
Wow, Rocker is more gorgeous than I thought! Thanks for the swatches 😉
OOhhhhh I love the Jete eyeshadow! Bring it backkkkkkk
