MAC 24 Days of MAC Icons 2026 by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →Each figure against the median of this season's beauty shelf — 178 calendars.

Our MAC 24 Days of MAC Icons 2026 review
Our verdict
Nineteen of the twenty named products are regular sizes, and they are MAC's best-known shades: Ruby Woo and Candy Yum Yum in the MACximal formula, Lipglass, a Spice lip pencil, Satin Taupe eyeshadow and a Pro Paint Pot, with Strobe Cream the only mini. Half of what is named is for lips, and four of the 24 pieces are not named at all.
