How did MAC Cosmetics come into being?
Make-Up Art Cosmetics was founded in Toronto, Canada. Make-up artist and photographer Frank Toskan together with hair salon owner Frank Angelo. The men were very frustrated because they could not find make-up that they could photograph well. So they decided to create their own make-up product. In the beginning they made the make-up in their kitchen and sold the products in the salon to other make-up artists, models and photographers. It did not take long before the brand grew bigger and bigger. Through various magazine articles and strong word of mouth advertising MAC Cosmetics became more popular. This is how the duo brand MAC was founded in 1984 with its own store in a department store in Toronto.
