According to an old astrology book, Taurus - the bull of the Zodiac - is a symbol of "tenacity, strength, virility, and power". And Taurean Gun [Nowak]'s tenacity, along with her love and understanding of color, is certainly part and parcel of 's enormous success. Known in the make-up industry simply as FACE, the story of began 26 years ago, when Nowak felt there weren't enough colors around to play with. In the 1970's and 80's she had a string of hip fashion boutiques in Stockholm but was getting bored and ready for something new.
