You can't buy taste or class, but Prestige is easier to come by. Prestige Cosmetics makes cosmetics under the Prestige brand and under private labels for retailers. Its products include lipstick, cosmetic pencils, lip gloss, powder, eye shadow, blush, concealers, mascara, foundation, and nail polish. Prestige markets its products to drugstores (such as Rite Aid and Walgreen), mass merchandisers, supermarkets, and specialty retailers (Ulta) in the US and about 45 other countries. It operates a plant in Florida and sells its products to distributors in Australia, Canada, South America, Europe, and Asia. Co-founders and brothers Jacques and Gabriel Cohen own the company.
