In the beginning, they made the makeup in their kitchen and sold the products in the salon to other makeup artists, models and photographers. It didn't take long for the brand to get bigger and bigger. MAC Cosmetics became more popular through various magazine articles and strong word of mouth. This is how the duo brand MAC was created in 1984 with its own shop in a department store in Toronto.
