Benefit Cosmetics Keep You Smiling
from: Cosmetics Center Cosmetics GuideIn 1970, after graduating from Indiana University, twin sisters Jean and Jane headed to San Francisco in pursuit of acting and modeling careers and landed roles in a series of bath product commercials. This got the sisters interested in starting their own unique makeup boutique and in 1976 opened The Face Place in San Francisco's Mission District.
Because of their passion for cosmetics, wacky sense of humor, and originality, The Face Place because an instant success and its original products had humorous names such as 'ooh la lift', 'lip plump', and 'benetint'.
People could not resist these products and wanted more, so the twins opened a second boutique. In 1990, the name The Face Place changed to Benefit Cosmetics and it was not long afterward that Benefit Cosmetics opened its first department store counter in New York. The world soon took notice as Benefit Cosmetics branched out internationally becoming hugely popular due to the excellent products, their unique fun, wacky humor and originality, which turned Benefit Cosmetics into a sensation.
In 1999, a Paris based world premier provider of luxury goods acquired Benefit Cosmetics and with a strategic partnership based on innovation and excellence, formed a natural alliance. Benefit Cosmetics now has over six hundred and fifty counters worldwide including Taiwan, the Middle East, United Kingdom, Korea, Ireland, Hong Kong, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.
