In 1963, American Mary Kay started her own little company selling cosmetic products through direct distribution. A mother of three children, Mary Kay definitely knew how to organise her time well, which allowed her to both manage the brand’s marketing and the manufacturing of body care and other cosmetic products. What started as a typical American small business grew over the years into a well-known company with branches in 29 other countries of the world. Till this day, the focus of the Mary Kay brand is on easy-to-use beauty products designed primarily for everyday use.
