Founder:                    

Michael Marcus worked as a makeup artist for 10 years, most recently as a national makeup artist for the Estée Lauder company, before starting his own line of cosmetics in 1998.

Philosophy:

“You hear it all the time, as you age, you should wear less  makeup.  I disagree.  You should wear more color!  Women need color on their lips, eyes and faces.  They want color in their lives!

“The saddest thing I hear is, ‘I’ve worn the same lipstick for 20 years.’  Would you wear the same shoes for 20years? Well, live a little, have fun and branch out to a different world of wonderful colors."

“Make-up should be fun, not a chore.  Have fun with make-up, find your look, and use it.  There’s really not a right or wrong, it’s what you feel comfortable with.”
