Finding it

MAC Cosmetics is in Departures in Terminal 1 at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.

Terminal 1 has 13 places to eat and 8 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 3:30am.

Hours against the security queue

MAC Cosmetics opens at 5am and closes at 9pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical LAX checkpoint queue at 9 minutes around 5am.

Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes. This location is already open before those queues build.

Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.

About this location

This is one of two MAC counters at LAX, the other in Terminal 6, so a traveler mid-trip through the terminal system doesn't have to backtrack for it. This Terminal 1 unit sits in departures near Brookstone and Hudson and keeps shorter hours than its Terminal 6 counterpart, running 5am to 9pm rather than into the evening. For a flight out of Terminal 1 after 9pm, the counter here won't be open, though the Terminal 6 location stays open two hours later.

One of 2 MAC Cosmetics locations at Los Angeles International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 6), and the earliest of them to open.

Other options in Terminal 1

All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
