About Mary Kay

For more than 60 years Mary Kay has been inspiring beauty and confidence, transforming lives and leading with purpose. 

Mary Kay Ash was a visionary leader ahead of her time, all the time. Over 60 years ago, she flipped the script on “business as usual,” launching a timeless beauty brand built on purpose and designed to give women a pathway to entrepreneurship. She didn’t just challenge the workplace — she rewrote the rules, and showed what happens when you believe in the power of women. 

Her approach was simple and unshakeable: stay true to your values, work hard, and make everyone feel important. Mary Kay Ash’s legacy isn’t just iconic, her passion for recognition, mentorship, and community sparked a movement that empowered millions and continues to fuel our global brand today.  

We never compromise when it comes to the quality and safety of our products. We make product decisions based on scientific fact, not opinion. We push the boundaries of innovation to consistently surprise and delight you. We always put you first. 

Because we are confident that you will be delighted by the benefits you see, we stand behind the products you buy from your Independent Beauty Consultant with a Mary Kay® Satisfaction Guarantee.

Our mission of enriching the lives of women around the globe has remained at our core for more than 60 years of our business, from providing a unique business opportunity to preserving the planet we are creating a better world for women. We recognize that true sustainability is not just about reducing our carbon footprint or recycling; it’s about creating a business that values and uplifts every individual, especially women, fosters social well-being and ensures economic growth that benefits everyone.

It all begins with empowerment.  

While times are quickly changing, our mission has not. Throughout her life, Mary Kay Ash showed others how to live and how to give. She gave hope to women who lacked opportunity and self-esteem – empowering them to live with their heads high, crown on, and donning the brightest lip in the room. 

Now, her legacy of (self) love lives on through the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation, which strives to empower women and children. 

Established in Canada in 2001, the Foundation’s mission is to support women living with cancer through Look Good Feel Better® and to help women experiencing domestic violence by providing grants to women's shelters and community outreach programs. 

Our efforts are a combination of providing phenomenal makeup products and hope of a brighter future – we want the perfect winged liner on eyes we inspire to dream big.
