If you are a MAC lover like me, then you may have noticed that Mac’s bronzer formula has been in their clearance section. Well today we know why, they have just released a line of Skinfinish Sunstruck Bronzers.
UPDATE March 28, 2023: MAC’s Consumer Care Team has responded to me letting me know that the bronzer launch was delayed. I also contacted MAC again to ask specifically about the safety of using these products after a reader mentioned to me that she heard this product was being discontinued due to its smell. MAC has responded that these products are safe for use (see below for their exact wording).
UPDATE March 21, 2023: I talked to MAC’s online customer service and they informed me that these bronzers were released ahead of schedule. They did also say that I could contact the consumer care team to confirm, so I did send them an email. The bronzers are no longer at Belk or QVC when I checked, so I’m not sure how so many retailers could have launched something ahead of schedule all at the same time. If the information changes when I hear back from MAC Consumer care I’ll be sure to post an update.
UPDATE March 19, 2023: I placed my order for two of the new MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Bronzers when they were live on the MAC website a few days ago and they arrived today. I wanted to go ahead and share swatches of the two shades that I purchased. I’m not sure why they have disappeared from the website, but I’m sure they will return because some shades are already available at Belk and QVC. If you want to see these shades compared to the NARS Bronzing Powders in Casino and Punta Cana, click here.

MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Radiant Bronzer, $35, 5 Shades
MAC Skinfinish Sunstruck Matte Bronzer, $35, 10 Shades
MAC 143S Bronzer Fan Brush, $45
The 143S brush was also released back in 2020 for their Summer Bronzer collection but that version had black bristles, so I do wonder how this might differ in function. This also has me wondering if the new matte bronzer formula will be the same, but there are no ingredients listed on the website to give any idea of what the formula will be like.

I went in store the day of release. I was hoping to grab one but did not see the display although it was available to buy online and pick up in store. I asked the SA and he said that although they did have them in the back, they were told by corporate to pull the display as they were having an issue with the compacts, something about multiple complaints that the pans were falling out. Not sure what to believe, but they’re on hold for sale indefinitely until they figure it out. I did buy the brush though lol

Interesting. That means so far there are at least 3 different versions of what people are being told about this release. I don’t know how to feel about that. 🤔
