MAC Is Giving Away Free Lipstick Again to Celebrate National Lipstick Day

As any diehard makeup fan will tell you, this Sunday, July 29 marks National Lipstick Day. And though this day would be great on its own, MAC Cosmetics just made it even better by announcing it will once again give free lipstick away all day long.

There's absolutely no catch, zero fine print, or weird rule that you must name your first-born child after a MAC lipstick. Although Ruby Woo would make a solid baby name. All you need to do is show up at any MAC store, counter, or Ulta Beauty shop.

There is, however, one caveat, which you'll be all too familiar with if you tried to score a free MAC lipstick during the brand's promotion last year. The lines fill up fast and the supplies are limited. It's unclear exactly how many each store will keep in stock, but what we do know is that the freebie is limited to one per customer, is worth $18.50, and those lucky enough to be at the front of the line will get to choose from nine different shades: Aloof, Delish, Dare You, Moxie, Florabundi, Epic, Mixed Media, Chintz, and Tanarama.

But if you can't make it to a store fear not: MAC will also be offering the same shades as a free gift with any online orders of $25 or more on Sunday as well.

Of course, this isn't your only way to get a free shade from MAC. All year long, the company runs its Back-to-MAC program, which lets you return six empty lipstick tubes to either a counter or through its website in exchange for one free lipstick of your choice.

Moreover, this isn't your only shot at grabbing free swag this weekend. From July 27 through July 29, Sephora is also handing out its regular-size Rose or Pearl face mask from its in-house line Sephora Collection for free. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. But, like MAC, Sephora's inventory will also be limited so make sure to get to a story early if you want in on the goodies.

Oh, and wait, there's more. This weekend also marks the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, meaning shoppers can hit up MAC, swing by Sephora, and head into Nordstrom to get a great deal there too, all in one day. Don't worry, if the thought of going into Nordstrom's annual sale without a plan has you flustered, Glamour put together this extremely handy guide of all the best makeup deals at this year's event. Now go have the best—and cheapest—shopping weekend ever.
