MAC COSMETICS
History
M·A·C Cosmetics, was founded in Toronto, Ontario, Canada by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo in 1985. The first U.S M·A·C store opened in 2003, in Greenwich Village, New York.
The company 's products were initially specifically designed for professional make-up artists, but are now sold to consumers worldwide.
Products
The collection includes blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, lip gloss, lipstick, mascara, mineral powder and nail polish.
Most M·A·C products are oil free. These oils provide benefits for the skin such as prevention of water loss, as they build up in the skin and are not washed away, so the protection is believed to last longer.
Pricing strategy
Mac cosmetics are generally priced higher than average cosmetics but consumers don’t mind paying more as they are aware of the quality which the product provides.
Core product- M.A.C. gives you the look you want.
Actual product- face products that have some flasher fun with mirrored compacts.
Limited-edition sets packaged in a chic and reusable M.A.C. Holiday tartan tin, M.A.C. glamorous and my scottish fling mineralize Kits.
New collection every season
