History of MAC Cosmetics Inc.

MAC (Make-Up Artist) Cosmetics started in Toronto, Canada by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo in 1984. Before starting MAC,Frank Toskan worked as a make-up artist and Frank Angelo as a photographer. MAC Cosemtics is known as "stage make-up" because the majority of the colors are highly pigmented and used for special events. There are colors that are for everyday use, but you can make them look pigmented by mixing certain colors together.
In 1994, Estee Lauder became interested what MAC had to offer so they took them "under their wings" in 1994.
In 1997, Frank Angelo passed away because of surgery complications. After a few years, Frank Toskan left MAC to an AIDS Charity with his brother-in-law.
