MAC Cosmetics
MAC Cosmetics, short for Makeup Art Cosmetics, is a cosmetics manufacturer founded in Toronto, Canada, in 1984 by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo. The company gained recognition for its inclusive approach to beauty, catering to all ages, races, and genders. Initially created to meet the high demands of professional makeup artists, MAC quickly became popular among consumers for its vibrant color palettes, high-quality ingredients, and commitment to cruelty-free practices. The brand is also known for its celebrity collaborations and social activism, notably through its VIVA GLAM campaign, which supports people affected by HIV/AIDS. Now a subsidiary of Estée Lauder Companies, MAC Cosmetics has grown into a globally recognized brand with a broad range of products sold in over 120 countries.
