I'd saved up my wages from my Saturday job to make the pilgrimage, and I have to say, I was immediately hooked.
I have vivid memories of visiting its Carnaby Street store circa 2006 to get colour-matched for a foundation after reading about how all of the top makeup artists had it in their backstage kits. Ask any beauty editor or product obsessive where they bought their first proper foundation and, chances are, it will have been from MAC.
