In 1963, Mary Kay Ash began what we now know as the makeup conglomerate, Mary Kay Cosmetics. Mary Kay started out as an opportunity for women to make money selling cosmetics. With only nine consultants in its first year, this billion-dollar company is now one of the largest sellers of makeup and skincare products in the world, and known for rewarding top-selling consultants with pink Cadillac cars. Mary Kay makeup has been a staple in the beauty product market for more than 40 years with millions of customers worldwide. In 2004, the company sold $1.8 billion in products. One reason their products are so popular may have to do with their quality and variety: for instance, Mary Kay provides makeup for all skin tones and types, including an array of shades in beige and bronze variations specifically created for ethnic skin tones. The makeup line is also well known for being easy to apply: always looking for ways to improve, Mary Kay products are often at the forefront of makeup advancements, like primers and creme-to-shadow colors for eyes and cheeks. It's not just about the makeup any more for the Mary Kay Company. Mary Kay now offers extensive lines of skin care, spa and body products, nail care products, signature Mary Kay fragrances and more. The TimeWise skin care line is one of its most popular and largest selling lines. Mary Kay's cleansers and anti-aging products rival the top producers in the world. Their basic skin care products are likewise quite popular, and this includes everything from cleansers and masks to moisturizers and toners. Even better, these products are made for particular skin types, so ladies with dry or sensitive skin can choose items specially made for them while those with oily or acne-prone skin will have other options choose from. Even better, purchase a Mary Kay set to get all the products you need together in one prepackaged arrangement. |
