Mary Kay Cosmetics is known for the pink cars top sellers drive. Mary Kay Ash started the company when she discovered a cream that really did make skin look great. Unfortunately it smelled horrible, so she had it remixed until it smelled good. At the same time she had retired and was working on a plan to help women make it in a male dominated work force. The year was 1963.
Women work as independent sales people and develop their own clientele.
It was Mary Kay Ash's idea that they should have unlimited potential. The Golden Rule is the rule they live by. But Mary Kay Ash also wanted women to have the opportunity through her company to attain unlimited success. The Company has done this and more. She created this nontraditional employment opportunity specifically to allow women to set their own hours, to work around family and other commitments, to supplement other income or to be a primary income by itself.
