Mark Cosmetics: A Review of Cosmetics by Mark
Custom Search
Like Avon or Mary Kay, Mark Cosmetics are sold by independent sales representatives who cover a particular area and sell to friends, family and members of their community.
The line is owned by Avon, but operated separately and targeted towards teens and younger women. For a complete review of the Mark line, including its best and worst products, keep reading.
Price
Most single Mark Cosmetics' products are priced under $10. Because they're targeted towards younger women, the company is going for a lower price point. Overall, the price is very affordable.
Ease of Use
Most Mark products are fairly standard – foundation, eye liner, lip gloss, mascara, skin care products and some fragrances. While the company hasn't been super innovative, most users will find all their products fairly straightforward and easy to use.
Quality of the Product
Despite the low cost, Mark products are comparable to most high-end drugstore brands or lower-end department store brands. Buyers are getting Avon quality, but geared, packaged and priced for a younger customer base.
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 all been featured in Glamour, Seventeen and YM as great buys and great products.
The Best and Worst
Other than their skin care products, probably the best finds at Mark are their lip glosses – not too sticky, not too messy, and definitely long-lasting. They go on smooth, have just the right hint of color and they don't feel heavy or overdone. Overall, they're a fantastic buy at $6.
The company's biggest miss? Probably the liquid foundation. Despite the fact that most teenagers have beautiful skin that just doesn't need a heavy, liquid foundation, the product is weighted and goes on thick, leaving a caked finish. For something lighter, opt for their tinted moisturizer instead.
The Company Itself
Mark products are sold by independent sales reps, so a lot of your customer service experience is going to depend on the quality of your rep. Many customers also don't like the pressure to buy or start selling the product themselves, so look for a representative that's laid back and comfortable.
Conclusion
Overall, Mark Cosmetics are a great buy and at a perfect 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.
