Mary Kay is one of the world's largest direct-selling companies, specializing in skincare, cosmetics, and personal care products. Founded in 1963 by Mary Kay Ash in Dallas, Texas, the company revolutionized the beauty industry through its multi-level marketing model and its commitment to empowering women through entrepreneurship.

Today, the brand maintains its global headquarters in Addison, Texas. While the majority of its products are manufactured in their state-of-the-art Richard R.
