MAC Cosmetics and Makeup
Professional Makeup Artist
Make-up Art Cosmetics, better known to most as M•A•C, is a brand of cosmetics sold internationally, that originally became famous through word-of-mouth endorsements by professional makeup artists, models and celebrities.
The company has become synonymous with glamour due to its ever-growing presence in the fashion industry, continued use of celebrity endorsements and commitment to cruelty-free products and universal diversity.
In 1984, MAC was established in Toronto, Canada by founders Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo. Toskan was a make-up artist and photorapher, while Angelo was the owner of a chain of hair salons. Both recognized the missing element of a versatile and reliable cosmetic to be used in fashion photography. The intense lighting conditions often employed created conditions under which conventional makeup either photographed badly or didn't hold up, so the two set out to create a line that would hold up to these types of challenges. They envisioned a makeup company that would be for All ages, all races, all sexes. This later became the company motto. The brand was also mentioned in TLC's smash hit, Unpretty.
Airbrush Advantages
-
Once airbrushed, you are good to go for up to 10 or 20 hours, with an average of around 16 hours. It won't rub off on anything or disappear into your pores.
-
If you're sharing the makeup - at a wedding, for example - the airbrush system is sanitary, since it never actually touches the skin.
-
Some of the kits and foundations can be used on legs, to conceal veins and discolorations. That means no panty-hose, ladies!
-
Special effects, such as stencil tattoos, are easily applied.
