About

M·A·C (Make-Up Art Cosmetics) was founded in 1984 in Toronto by makeup artist Frank Toskan and salon owner Frank Angelo, gaining cult status among professional makeup artists before being acquired by The Estée Lauder Companies in stages, with full acquisition completed in 1998. Today MAC is the #1 prestige makeup brand globally, operating through a network of freestanding stores, department store counters, and its own e-commerce channels in approximately 150 countries. The brand is particularly renowned for its professional-grade pigments, inclusive shade ranges across all skin tones and genders, and its VIVA GLAM line, which has raised over $535 million USD for HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ+ causes since 1994.

About

Brisk is a functional beverage brand offering ready-to-drink iced tea and juice drinks, jointly owned by PepsiCo and Unilever under the Lipton brand partnership. Launched in the 1990s, Brisk positioned itself as a bold, value-priced iced tea targeting younger consumers who wanted flavorful, refreshing beverages at affordable prices — often sold in large cans and bottles that delivered more volume at lower per-ounce costs than premium tea brands. The brand's irreverent advertising featuring clay-animated celebrities became culturally memorable.
