About the brand MAC

The company was founded in 1984. This event took place in the Canadian city of Toronto, through the efforts of two businessmen - F. Tuscany and F. Angelo.

In the history of the MAC trademark, there were a couple of events that significantly influenced its formation and development:

• 1994 was marked by the creation of a fund to support AIDS patients and combat the spread of HIV.
• In 1998, the company was replaced by top management: F. Angelo died as a result of the operation, and F. Toscano left the MAC and continued his activities in another company.

However, the last event did not break the brand as such, and MAC continued its social and production activities.

Lipsticks brand MAC is considered to be one of the most high-quality and persistent. However, it should be remembered that it is better to buy cosmetics of this level from official representatives and in shops whose reputation you trust. MAC, like any other well-known name, is not immune from cheap imitations, the use of which can greatly reduce the pleasant impressions of product use.

According to surveys of women who actively use lipstick MAC, for professional cosmetics with similar quality, the average cost of 1000-1100 rubles per unit of production is quite acceptable.

Cosmetics are consumed quite sparingly, since for the application, only one layer is most often required. The only nuance is an additional expense for a special remedy for removing the make-up of the lips. However, if you are interested in the persistence of lipstick and the guaranteed color, such a waste, rather, will confirm the quality of the product, rather than its disadvantage.
