Mark Cosmetics is a line of beauty products owned and operated by Avon but aimed at young women and teenagers. The products are formulated for younger skins, the colors are targeted toward a younger demographic and the prices are somewhat lower. For a clear review of Mark s products, including a review of the company itself, keep reading.
Cost
The low price is a major selling point for Mark Cosmetics products. Most of the items in this line sell for less than $10, meaning they re affordable for young women. In short, ten out of ten likely buy for price.
How Easy is it to Use?
The majority of Mark products are standard issue eye shadows, blush, lip gloss, bronzer, foundation, cleansers and a few bath and body products. They may not be state of the art innovations, but they re simple to use and very straightforward.
Quality of the Product
Mark products may be priced low, but their quality is pretty good and comparable to a low to mid range department store cosmetics. Because Avon doesn t pay for retail locations or public advertising, they re often able to price their products lower than most retail brands.
In particular, their line of skin care products (which are non comedogenic, fragrance free and oil free) are a great value. The cleanser, toner and moisturizers are all priced under $10, but they ve each been featured in Glamour, Seventeen and YM as great buys and desirable products.
Products to Look For and Avoid
Next to the skin care products, probably the best find at Mark are the mascaras. Not too goopy, easy to apply and light enough for a teen or young women. They don t run, they don t clump and they re age appropriate. In short, at $7 a pop, they re a great buy.
The products to avoid are the heavy liquid foundations. Most teens and young women simply don t need a heavy foundation it clogs the pores, covers up their beautiful skin and often causes more problems than it covers. Instead, try the tinted moisturizer, which provides light coverage without weighing young skin down.
The Mark Company
Mark is sold by independent sales representatives, much like Avon or Mary Kay. That can be a big turn off for many customers who don t like the pressure of a one on one sales experience or the potential pressure of a sales rep hitting on family and friends to sell the product themselves. To avoid this problem, try buying through the website or a trusted friend who is low pressure and doesn t drool when approached by a prospect.
The Final Word
Overall, Mark Cosmetics are a great buy and at an ideal price point for young women. Unfortunately, the product is mail order or can only be purchased online, meaning you can t simply walk into a store and buy it. For some, they love the personalized service a sales rep provides. For others, they d rather buy what they want when they want it. That said, if you re comfortable with the sales arrangement, this is a fantastic line for young women.
