It is a renowned Canadian cosmetics manufacturer. Its products are known for their exceptional quality, excellent longevity, and rich pigmentation. As such, MAC cosmetics are not typically suitable for everyday use. Instead, they are one of the best options for photoshoots or special events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, MAC collaborates with makeup artists who work with global film actors. MAC Cosmetics helps create stunning looks that can withstand long hours of events and filming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, based on <a href=\"http:\/\/maccosmetics.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maccosmetics.com<\/a>, we delve into the story of a world-famous cosmetics brand with Canadian origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a0b2e4751117\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #090909;color:#090909\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #090909;color:#090909\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a0b2e4751117\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/torontonka.com\/en\/eternal-5093-mac-a-world-famous-brand-with-canadian-roots\/#The_Beginning_of_the_Story\" >The Beginning of the Story<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/torontonka.com\/en\/eternal-5093-mac-a-world-famous-brand-with-canadian-roots\/#The_Downside_of_Success\" >The Downside of Success<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/torontonka.com\/en\/eternal-5093-mac-a-world-famous-brand-with-canadian-roots\/#A_New_Owner\" >A New Owner<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/torontonka.com\/en\/eternal-5093-mac-a-world-famous-brand-with-canadian-roots\/#Assistance_from_Makeup_Artists\" >Assistance from Makeup Artists<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/torontonka.com\/en\/eternal-5093-mac-a-world-famous-brand-with-canadian-roots\/#The_Most_Popular_Brand\" >The Most Popular Brand<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/torontonka.com\/en\/eternal-5093-mac-a-world-famous-brand-with-canadian-roots\/#In_Tribute_to_a_Talented_Singer\" >In Tribute to a Talented Singer<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Beginning_of_the_Story\"><\/span>The Beginning of the Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The MAC brand was founded in 1984 in Toronto by two Franks\u2014Toskan and Angelo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s products were originally intended for professional use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Frank Toskan, the brand initially produced cosmetics used exclusively by models. Over time, the idea of broader product distribution emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This decision proved highly successful. By the 1990s, the brand had over 100 stores in various countries, generating colossal revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Downside_of_Success\"><\/span>The Downside of Success<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as is often the case, success has its downside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of MAC, the rapid development, expansion of retail locations, and adaptation of products for specific continents left the founders with little time to create new products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_New_Owner\"><\/span>A New Owner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1994, Est\u00e9e Lauder acquired a 51% stake in MAC and assumed management of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MAC founders retained only creative control over the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1997, tragedy struck with the death of Frank Angelo at the age of 49 due to sudden cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1998, Toskan made an unexpected decision to sell the remaining shares to Est\u00e9e Lauder. After that, the former owner parted ways with the brand for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assistance_from_Makeup_Artists\"><\/span>Assistance from Makeup Artists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MAC is a leading global cosmetics brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, every MAC store employs professional makeup artists who assist customers in selecting the most suitable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Most_Popular_Brand\"><\/span>The Most Popular Brand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>MAC is one of the most sought-after brands for creating makeup for film actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular MAC products include Studio Fix Fluid and Ruby Woo Lipstick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Tribute_to_a_Talented_Singer\"><\/span>In Tribute to a Talented Singer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 2012, MAC launched an Indian-themed cosmetics collection in collaboration with the family of the late singer Selena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selena\u2019s sister worked closely with MAC to develop products that would capture the unique style that set Selena apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result was astounding. The collection sold out within hours, with queues stretching several kilometres.
