Founded in Toronto in 1984 by makeup artist and photographer Frank Toskan and salon owner Frank Angelo, MAC Cosmetics (Make-up Art Cosmetics) was born from a professional need for makeup that would hold up under the bright lights of a photo shoot. This heritage in professional artistry continues to define the brand, which is celebrated for its highly pigmented, long-wearing formulas and extensive range of colors. Initially a niche brand for industry insiders, MAC quickly gained a cult following, thanks in part to early adoption by celebrities like Madonna.
