CARGO: The Background Story

CARGO cosmetics is a Canadian company based in Toronto. Its success has come from a strict adherence to one simple policy: uncompromised and unparalleled quality.

To create a truly professional quality collection, CARGO enlisted the industry’s top professionals to develop the line. The original collection was in development for two years. Today, guest artists remain vital contributors to CARGO, as they consult on the creation of new products and colours.

In 1996 CARGO was introduced to the public in Canada. CARGO expanded to the USA in 1998 and is now available worldwide.

CARGO has quickly become a favourite among celebrities, and film and television make up artists. Chances are you have seen CARGO in use on your favourite prime-time television shows and major Hollywood films.

CARGO: The Vision

CARGO believe that make up should enhance rather than alter. Their colours are sheer, and their natural undertones flatter the skin, allowing you to layer colour to the desired depth.

CARGO believe in simplicity and creativity. Their easy-to-use, easy-to-wear make up encourages experimentation and play, with professional results every time.

CARGO: The Name

Make up is truly a woman’s cargo. That’s why the inspirations for the names of many of CARGO’s products comes from various global destinations. For example Bora Bora is a tropical berry lip gloss. In keeping with this concept, CARGO products are portable and practical.
