Make-Up Art Cosmetics
Make-up Art Cosmetics, also known as M.A.C. cosmetics is a highly unique
corporation. Its founders and business strategies are rather simple yet
extremely effective in contributing to the companies success. The company does
not use any fancy business schemes and it is truly concerned with its consumers.
In the beginning, the company struggled to get started, but now a multimillion
dollar (and still growing) enterprise, M.A.C. probably has some of the most
popular and most demanded for cosmetics available in the market. M.A.C.
Cosmetics is a dynamic company which produces skin and hair care, beauty

finishes, 150 eye shadows, 60 blushes and hair care have been created for the
public. Toskan first started at his kitchen table with the help of his high
school chemistry book. With Victor Casale, his chemist brother-in-law, he
blended a few new colours. One year later, Toskan formed a partnership with
Frank Angelo, a veteran entrepreneur (previous owner of a chain of beauty
salons). At first they were turned down by banks, they had to mortgage
everything in order to get the company going. M.A.C. was officially launched in
