MAC LookSo what does MAC have that the other companies don’t? MAC or the Makeup Artist Cosmetics launched in the year 1984 was the brainchild of the two Franks, namely, Frank Toskan, the make up guru and Frank Angelo, the entrepreneur. Both came together to create a cosmetic range that would soon take the world by storm. The dense pigments, non oily foundations and dramatic colours soon caught the fancy of the entire fashion industry. What added to the popularity were the affordability factor and the extensive colour range that changed with every season.

MAC soon became known for its quality, customer friendly approach and the fact that it transcended the age and sex barriers. Mac makeup has been proudly worn by drag queens and general women alike. That’s the beauty of MAC cosmetics, even a plain Jane can be made to look like a fashion diva if the products are applied properly. The company has come a long way and its beauty products encompass eyes, lips, face, nails, fragrances and skin care. Various limited editions are launched regularly so that each time you shop for MAC colours, you find something new on the shelf.
