Overview
Carol Shaw, one of Hollywood's most sought after makeup artists, created LORAC as a way to put the glitz and glamour of red-carpet beauty into the hands of women all over the world. LORAC Cosmetics sold their products through many distribution channels, however, never had an e-commerce website of their own. The new website would require various integrations with LORAC’s own payment processor, state tax service, and their inventory/shipping tracking system.
